What role does friction play in the conservation of enérgy?

The law of conservation of energy asserts that total energy remains constant in an isolated system. That is, energy cannot be generated or destroyed, but it may be transferred from one form to another. Frictional forces can dissipate energy, which raises the question of whether it violates the law of conservation of energy. No, it does not. When there is friction, energy is transferred from one form to another. There will be no energy loss. To illustrate this issue, consider the following scenario: two buses collide. The buses are no longer moving as a result of the collision. Where does all of this energy go? The solution is simple: the friction between buses and between buses and the road allows energy to be transferred from one form to another. You may be aware that when we rub our hands together, heat is produced; what occurs here is frictional energy converting to heat energy. This is what happens in bus accidents, where the energies can be changed to thermal energy, acoustic energy, or any other type of energy owing to friction and impact. So the energy we believed we had wasted was really converted to heat and sound. Bus collisions are not only noisy, but they also cause a lot of friction on the ground and in the bent metal. Both heat and sound are types of energy.

  • NOTE:
    Nature's exact rules cannot be broken. The law of conservation of energy is an example of such a law. Friction constantly resists relative motion between two surfaces in contact.

Water at the top of a slope has potential energy. true or false
ASHA 777 [7]
<span>The statement is TRUE. Water does have potential energy at the top of a slope. The reason why is that potential energy is energy possessed by a body based on its position relative to a zero point. In this case, water at the top of the slope is at an elevation above ground (zero point). The energy is not kinetic (moving) energy since the water is not moving.</span>

State the term used to describe the turning force exerted by the man
ozzi

]A force called the effort force is applied at one point on the lever in order to move an object, known as the resistance force, located at some other point on the lever.

The way levers work is by multiplying the effort exerted by the user. Specifically, to lift and balance an object, the effort force the user applies multiplied by its distance to the fulcrum must equal the load force multiplied by its distance to the fulcrum. Consequently, the greater the distance between the effort force and the fulcrum, the heavier a load can be lifted with the same effort force.

If an apple experiences a constant net force, it will have a constant ​
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

As <em>Force </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>Mass </em><em>×</em><em> </em><em>Acceleration.</em><em> </em><em>So </em><em>If </em><em>mass </em><em>is </em><em>constant,</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>acceleration </em><em>would </em><em>also </em><em>be </em><em>constant,</em><em> </em><em>in </em><em>presence </em><em>of </em><em>a </em><em>net </em><em>external </em><em>constant </em><em>force!</em>

In a science museum, a 110 kg brass pendulum bob swings at the end of a 13.9 m -long wire. the pendulum is started at exactly 8:
saw5 [17]

The number of oscillations completed by the pendulum is 2736.

The amplitude of the pendulum is 3.47 m.

The given motion is an underdamped motion. So its frequency will be similar to that of a simple harmonic motion.

The frequency of oscillation is defined as the number of oscillations completed in unit time. It is calculated using the formula.

f=(1/2π)*√(l/g)

where f is the frequency, l is the length of the pendulum, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given the length of the wire l=13.9 m and acceleration due to gravity g=9.8 m/s^2. The frequency of oscillation is:

f=(1/(2*3.14)) * √(13.9/9.8)

f=0.19 Hz (approximately)

Since the pendulum started oscillating at 8:00 am, 4 hours has been passed when it shows 12:00 pm. So time t=4 hours or t=4*3600. Hence t=14400 s. The total number of oscillations is then given by the formula,

n=ft

where n is the number of oscillations.

n=0.19*14400=2736.

In damping motion, the amplitude of the pendulum decreases with time. The amplitude of the pendulum is given by the formula,

A' = A exp (-b*t)

where A' is the amplitude after time t, A is the initial amplitude, b is the damping constant, and t is the time.

Here A=1.2 m, b=0.010 kg/s and t=14400 s.

A' = 1.2 exp (-0.010*14400)

A'=3.47 m (approximately)
