Answer:

A. <u>The water decreases the friction between the floor and the feet </u>

Explanation: Think about it like this, when your in the shower and water is on your skin, you can scrub it fluidly, but when the water dries in your towel, there is more friction when your rub your skin, this is because the molecules in water aren't as compact as solids, so anything acting against it, is most likely to disperse from it.

The resistivity of a silver wire with a radius of 5.04 × 10–4 m is 1.59 × 10–8 ω · m. if the length of the wire is 3.00 m, what
Alexxx [7]
<span>5.98 x 10^-2 ohms. Resistance is defined as: R = rl/A where R = resistance in ohms r = resistivity (given as 1.59x10^-8) l = length of wire. A = Cross sectional area of wire. So plugging into the formula, the known values, including the area of a circle being pi*r^2, gives: R = 1.59x10^-8 * 3.00 / (pi * (5.04 x 10^-4)^2) R = (4.77 x 10^-8) / (pi * 2.54016 x 10 ^-7) R = (4.77 x 10^-8) / (7.98015 x 10^-7) R = 5.98 x 10^-2 ohms So that wire has a resistance of 5.98 x 10^-2 ohms.</span>

Upon impact, bicycle helmets compress, thus lowering the potentially dangerous acceleration experienced by the head. A new kind
Dimas [21]

Answer:

acceleration = -15.3g

Explanation:

given data

speed = 6.00 m/s.

thickness = 12

moves the entire = 12.0 cm

solution

we will use here equation that is

v² - u²  = 2 × a × s    ........................1

here v = 0 is the final velocity and u = 6.0 m/s is initial velocity and s= 0.12 m is the distance covered and a is the acceleration

so we put here value and get acceleration

a = \frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a = \frac{0^2-6^2}{2\times 0.12}

a = -150 m/s² ( negative sign means it is a deceleration )

and

acceleration in units of g  

a = \frac{-150}{9.8}

a = -15.3 g

A 10-meter long ramp has a mechanical advantage of 5. What is the height of the ramp?
denpristay [2]
<span><span>1.       </span>If the ramp has a length of 10 and has a mechanical advantage (MA) of 5. Then we need to find the height of the ramp.
Formula:
MA = L / H
Since we already have the mechanical advantage and length, this time we need to find the height .
MA 5 = 10 / h
h = 10 / 5
h = 2 meters

Therefore, the ramp has a length of 10 meters, a height of 2 meters with a mechanical advantage of 5.</span>
