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.

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

A) c₁ = m, c₂ = m/s

B) c₁ = m/s²

C) c₁ = m/s²

D) c₁ = m/s c₂ = °

E) c₁ = m/s , c₂ = /s

Explanation:

A) x = c₁ + c₂t

⇒m = m + (m/s)s (Only same units can be added)

⇒m = m

So, c₁ = m, c₂ = m/s

B) x = 0.5c₁t²

⇒m = 0.5 (m/s²)s²

⇒m = m

So, c₁ = m/s²

C) v² = 2c₁x

⇒m²/s² = 2 (m/s²)m

⇒m²/s² = m²/s²

So, c₁ = m/s²

D) x = c₁ cos(c₂)t

⇒m = (m/s) cos(°)s

⇒m = m

So, c₁ = m/s c₂ = °

E) v² = 2c₁v-(c₂x)²

⇒m²/s² = 2(m/s)(m/s)-(1/s²)(m²)

⇒m²/s² =m²/s²

So, c₁ = m/s , c₂ = /s

Two billiard balls, assumed to have identical mass, collide in a perfectly elastic collision. Ball A is heading East at 12 m/s.
meriva

Answer:

Ball A will move towards West with speed 8 m/s

Ball B will move towards East with speed 12 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that during collision there is no external force on the system

So here we can use momentum conservation for finding the final velocities of two balls

so we have

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

since two balls are identical so we have

m_1 = m_2

m(12) - m(8) = mv_1 + mv_2

v_1 + v_2 = 4

also we know that for elastic collision we have

v_{2f} - v_{1f} = v_{1i} - v_{2i}

so we have

v_2 - v_1 = 12 - (-8)

v_2 - v_1 = 20

so we have

v_2 = 12 m/s Towards East

v_1 = 8 m/s Towards West

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The potential energy has a  maximum when the ball is a time that is half of the time for total travel

Explanation:

Generally potential energy is a the varies directly with the height according to this formula

            PE =mgh

and the ball attains a maximum height when the time is equal to half of the total time taken to travel

If you don't wear a helmet and let's say you fell off your bike, you can severely injure your head! But if you DO wear a helmet and you fell off your bike, there's about I predict a 98% chance that you won't injure but sometimes it's 100%
