Why is friction useful between your feet and the ground?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It allows you to walk faster.

Explanation:  

It is the same force that allows you to accelerate forward when you run. Your planted foot can grip the ground and push backward, which causes the ground to push forward on your foot. We call this grip type of friction, where the surfaces are prevented from slipping across each other, a static frictional force.

Consider a 4.80 kilogram feather (from a Big Bird) on Mars. Gravity on the surface of Mars is only about 38.0% of Earth's gravity.
What would the feather weigh on Earth?
If the feather dropped on you from a height, would it be better to be on Mars or the Earth?
What does the same feather weigh on Mars?

Answers

This feather weighs heavier on earth than on Mars hence it is better that the feather falls on you in Mars than on earth.

What is weight?

The term weight refers to the effect of the gravitational pull on an object. The acceleration due to gravity on earth is about 9.8m/s^2. The weight of this feather on earth is about 4.80 Kg *  9.8m/s^2 = 47 N

On the planet Mars, the weight is;

4.80 Kg * (0.38 * 9.8m/s^2) = 18 N

This feather weighs heavier on earth than on Mars hence it is better that the feather falls on you in Mars than on earth.

?How much work is done by 5 kg water as it is evaporated at 10 bar pressure​

Answers

Answer:

The (latent) heat of vaporization (∆Hvap) also known as the enthalpy of vaporization or evaporation, is the amount of energy (enthalpy) that must be added to a liquid substance, to transform a given quantity of the substance into a gas.

The enthalpy of vaporization is a function of the pressure at which that transformation takes place. The heat of vaporization diminishes with increasing temperature and it vanishes completely at a certain point called the critical temperature (Critical temperature for water: 373.946 °C  or 705.103 °F,  Critical pressure: 220.6 bar = 22.06 MPa  = 3200 psi ).


A boy whirls a ball on a string 1.0 m long in a horizontal circle at 50 rpm. If the mass of the ball is 0.22 kg
What is the tension in the string?

Answers

Hi there! :)

We can begin by doing a summation of forces on the ball. In the horizontal direction, we have the force of tension:
[tex]F_{Net} = T[/tex]

The tension force results in a centripetal force experienced by the ball. The equation of centripetal force is equivalent to:
[tex]F_C = m\omega^2 r[/tex]

[tex]F_C[/tex] = Centripetal force (N)
m = mass of ball (0.22 kg)

ω = angular speed of ball(? rad/sec, must convert rpm to rad/sec)

r = radius/length of string (1.0 m)

We must begin by converting rpm to rad/sec:

[tex]\frac{50 rev}{min} * \frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}* \frac{1 min}{60 sec} = 5.236 \frac{rad}{s}[/tex]

Now, we can set tension equal to the centripetal force and solve. [tex]T = F_{Net} = F_C\\\\T = m\omega^2 r\\\\T = (0.22)(5.236^2)(1) = \boxed{6.031 N}[/tex]

wheelchair. She gains a vertical distance of
25.8 m when she reaches the top of the ramp.
She turns around and coasts back down the ramp
If the combined mass of the girl and her wheelchair
is 64.6 kg, what would be her coasting speed at the
bottom of the ramp?!Show all your work.

Answers

Answer:

22.5m/s, this is assuming conservation of energy and that the girl starts coasting from rest

Explanation:

conservation of energy: mgh = 1/2 m*v^2

h = 25.8m, m = 64.6kg, g=9.81m/s^2

plug in and solve for v

v = sqrt(2gh) = sqrt(2*9.81*25.8) = 22.5m/s

The coasting speed of the girl at the bottom of the ramp would be approximately 22.4 m/s.

To find the coasting speed at the bottom of the ramp, we can apply the conservation of energy principle. At the top of the ramp, the initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp.

Calculate the potential energy at the top of the ramp:

Potential energy (PE) = mass (m) * acceleration due to gravity (g) * height (h)

PE = 64.6 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 25.8 m = 16114.284 J

At the bottom of the ramp, all the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy:

Kinetic energy (KE) = 0.5 * mass (m) * velocity²

16114.284 J = 0.5 * 64.6 kg * velocity²

Solve for velocity:

velocity² = 2 * (16114.284 J) / 64.6 kg

velocity² = 500 m²/s²

velocity = √(500 m²/s²) ≈ 22.4 m/s

b) If the outermost particle is removed, by what percentage does the rotational inertia of the assembly around the rotation axis decrease?

Answers

(a) The amount of work required to change the rotational rate is 0.0112 J.

(b) The decrease in the rotational inertia when the outermost particle is removed is 64.29%.

Moment of inertia of the rod

The moment of inertia of the rod from the axis of rotation is calculated as follows;

I = md² + m(2d)² + m(3d)²

where;

m is mass = 10 g = 0.01 kgd = 3 equal division of the length

d = 6/3 = 2 cm = 0.02 m

I = md²(1 + 2² + 3²)

I = 14md²

I = 14(0.01)(0.02)²

I = 5.6 x 10⁻⁵ kg/m³

Work done to change the rotational rate

K.E = ¹/₂Iω²

K.E = ¹/₂(5.6 x 10⁻⁵)(60 - 40)²

K.E = ¹/₂(5.6 x 10⁻⁵)(20)²

K.E = 0.0112 J

Percentage decrease of rotational inertia when the outermost particle is removed

I₂ = md² + m(2d)²

I₂ = 5md²

ΔI = 14md² - 5md²
