After a student shoves a book across a flat table, it begins to slow down. Why?

Physics

Answer:

  • <u>The force of friction opposes the motion of an object, causing moving objects to lose energy and slow down. When objects move through a fluid, such as air or water, the fluid exerts a frictional force on the moving object. The frictional force from a fluid is called a drag force.</u>

Answer: a. Regularly, you rub your hands for warmth.

b. Some examples are friction from electricity going through a wire or friction from rubbing your hand together.

c. Without friction, we would fall every time we walked. Because there is friction, we can walk normally. Another example is a ball moving across the field. Without friction, the ball would not slow down.

Explanation:

Overall, friction is important to us because we depend on it.

Which process is a form of mechanical weathering?
marishachu [46]
Mechanical weathering is actually breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces by natural forces. Any weathering processes that can cause the physical breakdown of rocks without any type of change in the chemical composition of rocks, called mechanical weathering.

So, looking at each of the definitions in the options, we can easily choose:
1. Hydration : It's a process of absorbing water by substance.

2. Carbonation: It's a process of Carbon Dioxide dissolving in liquid (mostly water).

3. Oxidation : It's a process of oxygen reacting with some element.

4. <span>Exfoliation:  It's a process where the rocks erodes by peeling off in sheets or layer by layer rather than grain by grain.

As you can see the last one </span><span>Exfoliation matches with the definition of mechanical weathering. It's one of its types.</span>

Yanka [14]

Answer:

V = 2.87 m/s

Explanation:

The minimum speed required would be that at which the acceleration due to gravity is negated by the centrifugal force on the water.

Thus, we simply need to set the centripetal acceleration equal to gravity and solve for the speed V using the following equation:

Centripetal acceleration = V^2 / r

where r is the distance of water from the pivot or shoulder.

For our case, r will be 0.65 + 0.19 = 0.84 m

and solving the above equation we get:

9.81 = V^2 / 0.84

V^2 = 8.2404

V = 2.87 m/s
