Can you explain the resistance and friction with wooden skis that were used by hunters a long time ago verses the modern skis now? Like the difference in friction and resistance.

Ablock having mass m slides down an inclined plane. the force of friction between the block and the inclined plane is f, the block's weight is m g, and the normal force is n. (a) draw a free – body force diagram showing the forces acting on the block. (b) write down all relevant newton’s equations for a given situation.

To understand the behavior of the electric field at the surface of a conductor, and its relationship to surface charge on the conductor. a conductor is placed in an external electrostatic field. the external field is uniform before the conductor is placed within it. the conductor is completely isolated from any source of current or charge. part a: which of the following describes the electric field inside this conductor? it is in the same direction as the original external field.it is in the opposite direction from that of the original external field.it has a direction determined entirely by the charge on its surface.it is always zero. part b: the charge density inside the conductor is: 0non-zero; but uniformnon-zero; non-uniforminfinite part c: assume that at some point just outside the surface of the conductor, the electric field has magnitude e and is directed toward the surface of the conductor. what is the charge density η on the surface of the conductor at that point? express your answer in terms of e and ϵ0

Does heating a metal wire increase or decrease its electrical resistance? why?
