The lower the value of the coefficient of friction, the lower the resistance to sliding.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The coefficient of friction defines as directly proportionate with the resisting force, which is the frictional force. Hence, if there seems a decrease at coefficient of friction, then it is sure that the frictional force decreases.

We know that the frictional force on a body, is the product of coefficient of frictions and the normal forces acting on the body. Note that friction acts only, if a body is in contact, and it is of three types, static, kinetic and rolling.

How does the energy in a system of magnets change when two magnets repel and move away from each other

masya89 [10]

When the magnetic force between opposite poles pulls them together the potential energy of the system decreases. Because like poles repel each other, to push them together you have to transfer energy to the system.

A 5.0-kg object is pulled along a horizontal surface at a constant speed by a 15-n force acting 20° above the horizontal. How mu

puteri [66]

Answer:

84.6 J

Explanation:

The work done by the force is given by

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

W is the work done

F = 15 N is the force applied

d = 6.0 m is the displacement

$\theta=20^{\circ}$ is the angle between the force's direction and the displacement

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

$W=(15 N)(6.0 m)cos 20^{\circ} =84.6 J$

If someone is driving 100 miles in 60 minutes then drives 150 miles in 100 minutes west, what is his acceleration rate.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial position of the car, x₀ = 100 miles = 160, 900 m ( 1 mile = 1609 m)

time of motion, t₀ = 60 minutes = 60 mins x 60 s = 3,600 s

final position of the car, x₁ = 150 miles = 241,350 m

time of motion, t₁ = 100 minutes = 100 mins x 60 s = 6,000 s

The initial velocity is calculated as;

u = 160, 900 m / 3,600 s

u = 44.694 m/s

The final velocity is calculated as;

v = 241,350 m / 6,000 s

v = 40.225 m/s

The acceleration is calculated as;

$a = \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t} = \frac{v- u}{t_1 - t_ 0} = \frac{40.225 - 44.694}{6000-3600} = -0.00186 \ m/s^2\\\\$

Therefore, his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²
