Static electricity<span> is caused by the build up of </span>electrical<span> charges on the surface of objects, while </span>current electricity<span> is a phenomenon from the flow of electrons along a conductor. 2. When objects are rubbed, a loss and/or gain of electrons occurs, which results in the phenomenon of </span>static electricity<span>.</span>
The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.
When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction
Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.
When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s²
t = 4.7 s
Find: Δy
Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²
Δy = (0 m/s) (4.7 s) + ½ (9.8 m/s²) (4.7 s)²
Δy ≈ 110 m
We can answer the problem by Snell's Law:
Snell's law<span> (also known as </span>Snell<span>–Descartes </span>law<span> and the </span>law<span> of refraction) is a formula used to describe the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction, when referring to light or other waves passing through a boundary between two different isotropic media, such as water, glass, or air.</span>
To solve this problem we will use a free body diagram that allows us to determine the Normal Force.
In general, the normal force would be equivalent to
Since the skier is standing on two skis, his weight will be divide by two
Pressure is given as the force applied in a given area, that is
Replacing F with N'
Our values are given as,
Replacing we have that
Therefore the pressure exerted by each ski on the snow is 776.01Pa
