Unbeknownst to the students, every time the school floors are waxed, Mr. Tracy, the principal, likes to slide down the Hallway in his socks. Mr. Tracy weighs 85 kg and the coefficient of sliding friction between his socks and the floor is 0.120. What is the force of friction that opposes Mr. Tracy's motion down the hall?

Consider a one meter long horizontal pipe with a constant 100 cm^2 cross sectional area. water flows rightward into the pipe at x = 0 with flow velocity 02m/sec at every point within the pipe intake area. at x=1, the rightward flow rate is 0.192 m/sec. assume the water is a conserved quantity in the pipe, so there must be a leak (a sink) somewhere in the pipe. 1. compute net volumetric flow of the source if the system to be in equilibrium. 2. now assume the pipe in the problem has no leaks. compute the net volumetric rate of change for the system.

Which of the following changes will increase the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor? (there could be more than one correct choice.) a) increase the charge on the plates b) decrease the poten5al between the plates c) increase the potential between the plates d) introduce a dielectric material between the plates e) decrease the separation between the plates

You can watch static electricity in action by rubbing an inflated balloon against your hair. your hair will actually stand on its end! it does this because each hair becomes charged, and they all repel one another.
