Ket [755]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Both ice and snow have a lower coefficient of friction in comparison with grass, wood or pavement.

Explanation:

The main reason why people and bears, slip and fall on ice/snow is that both ice and snow have a lower coefficient of friction in comparison with grass, wood or pavement. We present below a comparative chart of coefficients of friction associated with different materials:

Material       Coefficient of Friction - Static                  

Ice/Snow                   0.05 - 0.3

Wood                          0.2 - 0.6

Asphalt                        0.5 - 0.7

Grass                            0.3 - 0.5

On a smooth horizontal floor, an object slides into a spring which is attached to another mass that is initially stationary. Whe
saul85 [17]

Answer: (E) Momentum and mechanical energy

Explanation:

 The momentum and the mechanical energy is basically conserved during the given interaction process as the forces on the given system are in the form of internal nature and then the momentum are get conserved.

According to the given question, on the smooth floor when an object are slides by using the spring then the momentum and the mechanical energy are conserved.

The mechanical energy is the combination of both the kinetic and the potential energy that is used for doing some amount of work. Therefore, Option (E) is correct answer.

Which scientist continued the work of another while studying the elliptical path of planets? Name both scientists. Kepler advanc
Korolek [52]
This question is so vague as to render it useless.

I suspect the answer they're looking for is Kepler advanced Copernicus's work as is stated. but the way science works is that anyone who has contributed will have their work built on. for example, Newton advanced Kepler's work on the elliptical path of planets as Einstein advanced Newton's work.

Pretend you (80 kg) are making repairs on the outside of the International Space Station. You are floating 20 meters away from t
djyliett [7]

Answer:

32 seconds

Explanation:

m1 = 80 kg

m2 = 10 kg

v2 = 5m/s

According to the property of conservation of momentum, assuming that both you and the bag are stationary before the safety rope comes lose:

m_{1} v_{1} =m_{2} v_{2} \\80v_{1} =10*5 \\v_{1} = 0.625\ m/s

Since the space station is 20 meters away, the time taken to reach it is given by:

t = \frac{20}{0.625}\\t=32\ s

It takes you 32 seconds to reach the station.
