A 300-kg bear grasping a vertical tree slides down at constant velocity. the friction force between the tree and the bear is:___
1 answer:
3000 N of friction exists between the bear and the tree.
The bear goes down at a constant speed, thus there is no acceleration. The forces add up to zero. As a result, upward friction and downward weight result in zero
i.e.,
F-mg=0
F = mg
F = (300 kg)/10 (gravitational acceleration)
3000 N frictional force equals F.
How does friction force work?
- Friction is the force that prevents two solid objects from rolling or sliding over one another. Even though frictional forces, such as the traction required to walk without slipping, may be advantageous, they can also be a significant hindrance to motion.
Between solid surfaces, there are three basic types of friction:
- Rolling
- Sliding.
- Static. They are graded from strongest to weakest. Fluid friction happens when liquids or gasses are mixed together.

Answer:
The magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the lander on the surface of Mars is 512.46 N.
Explanation:
The Universal law of gravity is define as:
(1)
Where F is the gravitational force, G is gravitational constant, M is the mass of Mars, m is the mass of the lander and R is the radius of Mars.
Before replacing the values in equation 1 it is necessary to express the radius of mars in terms of meters:
R = ⇒ R =
Finally, equation 1 can be used:
Hence, the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the lander on the surface of Mars is 512.46 N.
Answer:
Average velocity is 0.296 m/s.
Average speed is 4.0 m/s.
Explanation:
Given:
Distance of the circular track is,
Number of laps ran is,
Time taken for the run is,
Now, total distance covered in 5.4 laps =
Also, since the path is a circle, the final position of the athlete after 5.4 laps will be 0.4 of 400 m ahead of the starting point.
Distance covered in 0.4 laps is,
Therefore, the displacement of the athlete will be 160 m as the athlete is 160 m ahead of the starting point and displacement depends on the initial and final points only.
Now, average velocity is given as:
Average speed is the ratio of total distance covered to total time taken.
So, average speed =
