Friction is the force you get when you (for example) Rub something with another, it's a force that may generate heat and even some resistance. Another example is rubbing your hands together, they get hot, therefore friction is working, without friction you wouldn't be able to stop moving.

Friction is the resistance of mass when on another object.
If we avoid friction, we move faster.
But, in some cases, friction is also good. It is used in car brakes, when something rubs on the wheels to make the wheels stop rolling, or rotating.
Ice skates may be another thing. They provide a little friction on the blades, to be able to stop and to be able to move.

Ber [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ball is thrown vertically upward with a certain Kinetic Energy in the absence of air resistance and while returning it experiences air resistance.

Air resistance causes the ball to lose its kinetic energy as it provides resistance which will convert some of its kinetic energy to heat energy.

So in a way total energy is conserved but not kinetic energy as some portion of it is lost in the form of heat.

A motobike's tire rotates with a constant angular speed of 62.8 rad/s. The radius of a tire is 30cm. Assuming that no slipping o
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

12.6 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the linear speed v = rω where r = radius and ω = angular acceleration. Given that ω = 62.8 rad/s and r = 20 cm from center = 0.2 cm

So, v = rω

= 0.2 m × 62.8 rad/s

= 12.56 m/s

≅12.6 m/s
