Describe the friction of smooth surfaces

Physics
1 answer:
cluponka [151]2 years ago
7 0

When two surfaces slide against each other, a force called friction makes them stick very slightly together. Smooth surfaces, like ice and glass, are easy to slide over. They create very little friction. Rough surfaces like rock and sand create much more friction, and are easy to grip on to.

hope it helps...!!!

A cheetah can accelerate from rest at the rate of 4m /s
lesya [120]
Acceleration of cheetah (a) = 4m/s²
time = 10s
initial velocity(u) = 0
final velocity = v
distance travelled = s

v = u +at = 0 + 10×4 = 40m/s
s = (v²-u²)/2a = 40²/(2×4) = 1600/8 = 200m

Two objects have a force of gravity of 100 N. If the distance between both objects decreases by a factor of 7, while the masses
Shkiper50 [21]

The gravitational force <em>F</em> between two masses <em>M</em> and <em>m</em> a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G M m</em> / <em>r</em> ²

Decrease the distance by a factor of 7 by replacing <em>r</em> with <em>r</em> / 7, and decrease both masses by a factor of 8 by replacing <em>M</em> and <em>m</em> with <em>M</em> / 8 and <em>m</em> / 8, respectively. Then the new force <em>F*</em> is

<em>F*</em> = <em>G </em>(<em>M</em> / 8) (<em>m</em> / 8) / (<em>r</em> / 7)²

<em>F*</em> = (1/64 × <em>G M m</em>) / (1/49 × <em>r</em> ²)

<em>F*</em> = 49/64 × <em>G M m</em> / <em>r</em> ²

In other words, the new force is scaled down by a factor of 49/64 ≈ 0.7656, so the new force has magnitude approx. 76.56 N.
