Which of the following is an example of static friction?

Your shadow is caused by your body blocking incident light rays from reach the ground under the shadow area. The absence of light means there will be no light reflected from the ground making it appear dark.

How does the size of arctic foxes ears help to keep them warm in a cold environment

DochEvi [55]

artic foxes have thick white fur to keep them warm and also for camouflage in the snow they have small ears to keep the snow out of their ears so that they can hear better they also have thick fur lining and a thick pad on their feet this stops the paws from getting cold and they have short legs so then the body weight can be spread making it easier for the animal to not sink in the snow in the summer the artic fox turns brown to help make the fox invisible when people are hunting in the long grass

A spaceship hovering over the surface of Venus drops an object from a height of 17 m. How much longer does it take to reach the

Paraphin [41]

1.96s and 1.86s. The time it takes to a spaceship hovering the surface of Venus to drop an object from a height of 17m is 1.96s, and the time it takes to the same spaceship hovering the surface of the Earth to drop and object from the same height is 1.86s.

In order to solve this problem, we are going to use the motion equation to calculate the time of flight of an object on Venus surface and the Earth. There is an equation of motion that relates the height as follow:

$h=v_{0} t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$

The initial velocity of the object before the dropping is 0, so we can reduce the equation to:

$h=\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$

We know the height h of the spaceship hovering, and the gravity of Venus is $g=8.87\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ . Substituting this values in the equation $h=\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ :

$17m=\frac{8.87\frac{m}{s^{2} } t^{2}}{2}$

To calculate the time it takes to an object to reach the surface of Venus dropped by a spaceship hovering from a height of 17m, we have to clear t from the equation above, resulting:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2(17m)}{8.87\frac{m}{s^{2} } }} =\sqrt{\frac{34m}{8.87\frac{m}{s^{2} } } }=1.96s$

Similarly, to calculate the time it takes to an object to reach the surface of the Earth dropped by a spaceship hovering from a height of 17m, and the gravity of the Earth $g=9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2(17m)}{9.81\frac{m}{s^{2} } }} =\sqrt{\frac{34m}{9.81\frac{m}{s^{2} } } }=1.86s$
