Explain two ways the vertebrae column reduces shock when jumping?
1. The cartilage forms a cushion-like covering, spreading the load in the backbone which prevents the shock between bones. 2. The cartilage produces a slippery surface at the end of bones to reduce the friction when they are being rubbed together.
How are groundwater and runoff alike?
Ground off and runoff are both precipitation and fresh water. Since they are fresh water, people use groundwater and runoff for households and drinking waters sometimes.
If a small diameter open glass tube is partially immersed in a vessel containing mercury the surface of the mercury inside the tube will be?
Lower at the inside (convex) than the 'free' mercury at the outside (concave) , because of interaction forces with glass (side) and air (on top), surface tension of mercury and the high density.
What are greenhouse gases referred to?
The greenhouse effect refers to the change in the thermal equilibrium temperature of a planet or moon by the presence of an atmosphere containing gas that absorbs and emits infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases, which include water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane, warm the atmosphere by efficiently absorbing thermal infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface, by the atmosphere itself, and by clouds. As a result of its warmth, the atmosphere also radiates thermal infrared in all directions, including downward to the Earth's surface. Thus, greenhouse gases trap heat within the surface-troposphere system.
What happens to rubber when its wet?
When rubber gets wet, its surface may become slippery, reducing traction and increasing the risk of slipping. Water can temporarily affect the rubber’s grip and flexibility, but it generally does not damage the material itself. In some cases, prolonged exposure to water can lead to degradation or mold growth, particularly in natural rubber. However, synthetic rubbers tend to be more resistant to moisture and environmental factors.
The function of the smooth slippery surface with downward pointing hairs in a pitcher plant?
The function of the downward pointing hairs on the pitcher plant is to encourage the insect to move further into the plant. As it gets to the edge, it loses its footing, and falls into the liquid in the bottom of the plant. The downward facing hairs at this point prevent the fly getting a foothold to climb out of the liquid. As a point of interest, the liquid contains agents that paralyze and numb the insect (basically gets it drunk), before the digestive enzymes get to work, so the insect dies happy!
Are there forces acting on the pen if yesdraw the forcesyou may use arrows to represent these forces?
Yes, there are forces acting on the pen. When a pen is placed on a surface, it experiences a gravitational force acting downward and a normal force acting upward from the surface to support its weight. These forces can be represented by arrows pointing in opposite directions: gravity pointing downward and the normal force pointing upward.
Are there forces acting on the pen if yes draw the forces use the arrow to represent these forces?
Yes, there are several forces acting on the pen, including gravity pulling it downward, the normal force pushing it up (equal to the force of gravity but in the opposite direction), and potentially friction from the surface it is resting on. These forces can be represented by arrows pointing in the appropriate directions: gravity pointing downward, normal force pointing upward, and friction pointing opposite to the direction of motion.
Why do you slip when its slippery?
Slipping on slippery surfaces occurs because there is reduced friction between your shoes and the surface. When the surface is wet or icy, there is less traction, causing your shoes to slide instead of grip the surface, leading to slips and falls.
Are the Beveled Edge Gingerwood Laminate Flooring slippery?
Gingerwood floors can be slippery, but not if you apply the right surface coating to it.
Why do you wax surfboards?
On the top - to make the surface less slippery.
Does gas mixed with water create a slippery surface?
yes
Why is a sidewalk sometimes called a slick?
smooth or slippery surface
Why does an object take longer to slow down on a slippery surface?
On a slippery surface, there is less friction between the object and the surface, which reduces the force acting against the object's motion. This means that it takes longer for the object to decelerate and come to a stop compared to a surface with more friction.
Why do we slip on rainy daY?
Oils in the road surface mix with the rainwater - creating a slippery surface.
If you had a slippery floor would adding polish create more or less friction?
Polish would most likely smooth the surface creating less friction and making it more slippery.
Is moss slippery?
Yes, moss can be slippery, especially when it is wet. The moisture on the surface of the moss can reduce friction, creating slippery conditions. It is important to be cautious when walking on mossy surfaces to avoid slipping and falling.
