Answer: If there is a higher friction, the opposition force is higher so that it can reduce our speed. So, a factor that affects friction is the roughness or smoothness of the surface of the object. In comparison of the table with the fabric, the fabric will have a more opposition force. As the surface of the fabric is usually rougher than the surface of a smooth table. As there is more friction on a fabric, we will feel more opposition force on our finger tip.

1. Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA): 9
Explanation:
For a wheel and axle system like the steering wheel, the IMA is given by:

where
is the radius of the wheel
is the radius of the axle
For the steering wheel of the problem, we see that
and
, so the IMA is

2. Efficiency: 88.9%
Explanation:
The efficiency of a system is defined as the ratio between the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) and the IMA:

In this problem, AMA=8 and IMA=9, so the efficiency is

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material to one degree is called D. its heat capacity.
The relationship of the heat when applied to the object and the change in temperature of the object when heat is being applied is directly proportional to each other. This means that when heat is applied to the object, the temperature of the object increases and when heat is not applied to the object, the temperature of the object decreases.
Answer:
t=0.42s
Explanation:
Here you have an inelastic collision. By the conservation of the momentum you have:

m1: mass of the bullet
m2: wooden block mass
v1: velocity of the bullet
v2: velocity of the wooden block
v: velocity of bullet and wooden block after the collision.
By noticing that after the collision, both objects reach the same height from where the wooden block was dropped, you can assume that v is equal to the negative of v2. In other words:

Where you assumed that the negative direction is upward. By replacing and doing v2 the subject of the formula you get:

Now, with this information you can use the equation for the final speed of an accelerated motion and doing t the subject of the formula. IN other words:

hence, the time is t=0.42 s
