What factors that affect friction?

1 answer:

6 0

Firstly,friction depends partly on the nature of surface in contact with the moving body.The rougher the surface, the morer the friction experienced.Secondly, it is affected by the magnitude of force holding the two bodies that should be in contact,this is to say that an increase in the amount of weight on a body results to a rise in friction experienced by the body on the surface.

If a stone dropped into a well reaches the water's surface after 3.0 seconds, how far did the stone drop before hitting the wate

pogonyaev

Let h = distance (m) to the water surface.

Initial velocity, u = 0 (because the stone was dropped).
Use the formula
h = ut + (1/2)gt^2
where g = 9.8 m/s^2 (acc. due to graity)
t = time (s)

h = (1/2)*(9.8)*(3^2) = 44.1 m

At a picnic, there is a contest in which hoses are used to shoot water at a beach ball from three different directions. As a res

hram777 [196]

Answer:

F₃ = 122.88 N

θ₃ = 20.63°

Explanation:

First we find the components of F₁:

For x-component:

F₁ₓ = F₁ Cos θ₁

F₁ₓ = (50 N) Cos 60°

F₁ₓ = 25 N

For y-component:

F₁y = F₁ Sin θ₁

F₁y = (50 N) Sin 60°

F₁y = 43.3 N

Now, for F₂. As, F₂ acts along x-axis. Therefore, its y-component will be zero and its x-xomponent will be equal to the magnitude of force itself:

F₂ₓ = F₂ = 90 N

F₂y = 0 N

Now, for the resultant force on ball to be zero, the sum of x-components of the forces and the sum of the y-component of the forces must also be equal to zero:

F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ + F₃ₓ = 0 N

25 N + 90 N + F₃ₓ = 0 N

F₃ₓ = - 115 N

for y-components:

F₁y + F₂y + F₃y = 0 N

43.3 N + 0 N + F₃y = 0 N

F₃y = - 43.3 N

Now, the magnitude of F₃ can be found as:

F₃ = √F₃ₓ² + F₃y²

F₃ = √[(- 115 N)² + (- 43.3 N)²]

F₃ = 122.88 N

and the direction is given as:

θ₃ = tan⁻¹(F₃y/F₃ₓ) = tan⁻¹(-43.3 N/-115 N)

θ₃ = 20.63°

In order to change power, what else must be changed?

Genrish500 [490]

In order to change power, current or voltage should also be changed. Voltage is an electromotive force, and also the quantitative expression that shows the potential difference of the two points charged in an electrical field. So, before power will take place, it would always be best to change also the voltage.

A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. if she starts from rest, how far has she traveled in:

Stells [14]

A child slides down a hill on a toboggan with acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. if she starts from rest, how far has she traveled in: 2 seconds

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

From the question above,

Applying equation of motion,

s = ut+at²/2....................... Equation 1

Where t = time, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.

make s the subject of the equation,

Given: a = 1.8 m/s², t = 2 seconds, u = 0 m/s (from rest)

Substitute these value into equation 1

s = 0(2)+1.8(2²)/2

s = 1.2(4)/2

s = 2.4 m.

Hence she has traveled 2.4 m
