Answer:

Explanation:

As an example, ice on steel has a low coefficient of friction – the two materials slide past each other easily – while rubber on pavement has a high coefficient of friction – the materials do not slide past each other easily. The coefficients of friction ranges from near 0 to greater than 1.

The statement would be False. T<span>he potential energy of a membrane potential comes solely from the difference in electrical charge across the membrane. In addition to that, membrane potential actually regulates the potential difference of nerve cells across the membrane estimated at 70 mV.</span>

After an incandescent lamp is turned on, the temperature of its filament rapidly increases from room temperature to its operatin

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: (1) The resistance increases and the current decreases.

Explanation:

When the temperature of the filament increases, the vibrational energy of the constituent atoms increases which leads to increase in inter-atomic collision. Thus, the resistance would increase. The increases in resistance would obstruct the flow of charges more leading to decrease in the value of the current.

Hence, when the temperature of the filament increase, the resistance increases and current decreases.

A car travels due east with a speed of 52.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth

serg [7]

Answer:

a) v = 6.43 m/s

b) v = 15.8 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of car = 56 km/h

56 km/h = 14.4 m/s

Angle rain makes on the glass to the vertical = 66°

Thus knowing that the opposite side of the angle is the distance moved by the car, and the adjacent side is the distance traveled by the rain in the same time

both of which are directly proportional to their velocities

Then

tan(66°) = 14.44m/s ÷ x

or x = 14.44/tan(66°)

Which is the vertical raindrop velocity of the relative to earth

v = 6.43 m/s vertically towards earth

For v relative to the car is we have vector sum of both velocities

v = √(14.44^2 + 6.43^2) = 15.8 m/s which is the velocity relative to car

= 15.8 m/s

A metal rod of length (L) moves with velocity (v), perpendicular to its length, in a magnetic field B, which is perpendicular to

Alborosie

Explanation:

If a metal rod of length L moves with velocity v is moving perpendicular to its length, in a magnetic field B, the induced emf is given by :

$\epsilon=Blv$

The electric field in the conductor is given by :

$E=\dfrac{\epsilon}{l}\\\\E=\dfrac{Blv}{l}\\\\E=Bv$

It is clear that the electric field is independent of the length of the rod. If the length of the rod is doubled, the electric field in the rod remains the same.

Lucia kicks a ball on a level playing field with an initial velocity of 11.3 m/s at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. Find:

grandymaker [24]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity, u = 11.3 m/s

Angle above the horizontal, $\theta=35^{\circ}$

Time of flight :

$t=\dfrac{2u\sin\theta}{g}\\\\t=\dfrac{2\times 11.3\times \sin(35)}{9.8}\\\\t=1.32\ s$

Horizontal distance traveled is given by :

x = ut

x = 11.3 m/s × 1.32 s

x = 14.916 m

Maximum height is given by :

$H=\dfrac{u^2\sin^2\theta}{2g}\\\\H=\dfrac{(11.3)^2\times \sin^2(35)}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=2.14\ m$

Hence, time of flight is 1.32 s, horizontal distance is 14.916 m and maximum height is 2.14 m.
