Friction occurs between two contacting surfaces. The coefficient of friction is very much dependent on the roughness of these surfaces. Some of the many ways in which the coefficient can be lessened or decreased are to lubricate the surface or make it shiny by eliminating the spikes which caused the roughness.
Answer:
An example in which liquid pressure phenomena can be used in daily life is in Water blasting
Explanation:
Water blasting refers application of pressurized water to remove materials from the surface of objects.
There are different varieties of water blasting, including;
Hydrocleaning; Cleaning enabled by the use of high pressure water
Hydrodemolition; Demolition or removal of concrete using pressurized water
Hydrojetting; The spraying of water under pressure on surfaces in order to remove surface contaminants.
11.3 Electromagnetic spectrum (ESADK)
EM radiation is classified into types according to the frequency of the wave: these types include, in order of increasing frequency, radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.
The sound wave will have traveled 2565 m farther in water than in air.
Answer:
Explanation:
It is known that distance covered by any object is directly proportional to the velocity of the object and the time taken to cover that distance.
Distance = Velocity × Time.
So if time is kept constant, then the distance covered by a wave can vary depending on the velocity of the wave.
As we can see in the present case, the velocity of sound wave in air is 343 m/s. So in 2.25 s, the sound wave will be able to cover the distance as shown below.
Distance = 343 × 2.25 =771.75 m
And for the sound wave travelling in fresh water, the velocity is given as 1483 m/s. So in a time interval of 2.25 s, the distance can be determined as the product of velocity and time.
Distance = 1483×2.25=3337 m.
Since, the velocity of sound wave travelling in fresh water is greater than the sound wave travelling in air, the distance traveled by sound wave in fresh water will be greater.
Difference in distance covered in water and air = 3337-772 m = 2565 m
So the sound wave will have traveled 2565 m farther in water than in air.
