Why can friction make observing Newton's first law of motion difficult?

1 answer:

6 0

The law says things travel in a straight line at constant speed unless acted upon by a force. But friction is a force but it can't be seen easily other than its effect, which is to bring the object to rest in seeming violation of the 1st law.

When an average force F is exerted over a certain distance on a shopping cart of mass m, its kinetic energy increases by 12mv2.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

A) $d=\dfrac{1}{2F}mv^2$

B) $\Delta KE'=2\times \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Explanation:

Given that

Force = F

Increase in Kinetic energy = $\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$\Delta KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

we know that

Work done by all the forces =change in the kinetic energy

Lets distance = d

We know work done by force F

W= F .d

F.d=ΔKE

$F.d=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$d=\dfrac{1}{2F}mv^2$

If the force become twice

F' = 2 F

F'.d=ΔKE'

2 F .d = ΔKE' ( F.d =Δ KE)

2ΔKE = ΔKE'

$\Delta KE'=2\times \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Therefore the final kinetic energy will become the twice if the force become twice.

A gas has an initial volume of 212 cm^3 at a temperature of 293 K and a pressure of 0.98 atm. What is the final pressure of the

MatroZZZ [7]

For this we use general equation for gases. Our variables represent:

p- pressure
v-volume
t- temperature

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

in this equation we know:
P1,V1 and T1, T2 and V2.
We have one equation and 1 unknown variable.

P2 = T2P1V1/T1V2 = 1.1atm

Why do you think football players are usually large in size?

kiruha [24]

Football players in the NFL are large in size due to their eating habits since as players they have to work out constantly to stay and shape and eat to gain weight and be strong, so its important for them to be strong against their opponents in gameplay. Football players sometimes take steroids which make their muscles stronger and harder, and also gives them a growth spurt but the effects are worse and makes them sicker, high blood pressure, and even more.

Two boats - Boat A and Boat B - are anchored a distance of 24 meters apart. The incoming water waves force the boats to oscillat

ozzi

Answer:

wavelength = 24 m

Period = 10 s

f = 0.1 Hz

Amplitude = 4 m

Explanation:

Wavelength:

Since the boats are at crest and trough, respectively at the same time. Hence, the horizontal distance between them is the wavelength of the wave:

wavelength = 24 m

Period:

The period is given as:

$Period = \frac{time}{no.\ of\ cycles} \\\\Period = \frac{10\ s}{1}\\\\$

Period = 10 s

Frequency:

The frequency is given as:

$f = \frac{1}{time\ period}\\\\f = \frac{1}{10\ s}\\\\$

f = 0.1 Hz

Amplitude:

Amplitude will be half the distance between extreme points, that is, crest and trough:

Amplitude = 8 m/2

Amplitude = 4 m
