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

If a current-carrying wire has a cross-sectional area that gradually becomes smaller along the length of the wire, the drift v

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Drift velocity is given by

$v_d=\frac{I}{n\times Q\times A}$

where $v_d$ =drift velocity

I=Current

n=no of electron

Q=charge of Electron

A=cross-section

If area of cross-section decreases gradually then drift velocity will increase because drift velocity is inversely proportional to Area of cross-section

If the volume on your TV is low, turning the volume up one click of the remote control will make the TV seem louder than if the

marusya05 [52]

From what we know, we can confirm that this ratio (turning up the volume by one click relative to the TV's overall volume) can be quantified as the Weber fraction.

<h3>What is the Weber fraction?</h3>

This fraction describes the ratio needed for change to a stimulus in which the change is just barely noticeable. This question is a prime example in that it seeks to find out just how low of a difference is needed in TV volume in order for the difference to be noticeable.

Therefore, we can confirm that this ratio (turning up the volume by one click relative to the TV's overall volume) can be quantified as the Weber fraction.
