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.

A girl pushes herself up a steep ramp in her
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

He delivered a current of 6.50 A to the wires. Both wires experienced an external
magnetic field of 2.71 X 10^−5 T. Determine the force on one of the wires.

Answers

The force on one of the wires is determined as 1.76 x 10⁻⁴ N/m.

Force on the wire

The force between the two parallel wire is calculated as follows;

F = μI²L/2πr

where;

I is the current in the two wiresL is length of the wiresr is the distance between the wires

F = (4π x 10⁻⁷ x 6.5² x 1.5)/(2π x 0.048)

F = 2.64 x 10⁻⁴ N

Force per unit length of the wire

F/L =  2.64 x 10⁻⁴ N / 1.5

F/L = 1.76 x 10⁻⁴ N/m

Thus, the force on one of the wires is determined as 1.76 x 10⁻⁴ N/m.

If 12 photovoltaic cells at 0.5 V each produce a total of 6 V of potential energy and carry a 1 A current to your phone, what are the power output of these cells and the resistance inside your phone? P = VI and R = V/I (Show calculations and units)

Answers

The power output of the cells is 6 watts and the resistance inside the phone is 6 Ohms.

What is power output?

Power Output can be defined as the average rate of electric energy delivery in a circuit.

The S.I unit of power is Watts (W)

Resistance can be defined as the opposition to the flow of electric current caused by a substance.

The S.I unit of resistance is Ohm, denoted with the symbol (Ω)

How to calculate the power output and resistance

Using the formula given;

Power output, P = VI

where V = voltage = 0.5 × 12 V = 6V

I = current = 1 A

Power output = 6 × 1 = 6 Watts

Resistance = V ÷ I = 6 ÷ 1 = 6 Ohms

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]

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 ).

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

ΔI = 9md²

η = (ΔI/I) x 100%

η = (9md²/14md²) x 100%
