Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago

Heat energy caused by friction is usually a waste product that results when energy is destroyed or dissappears.
Friction converts useful kinetic energy into thermal energy or heat. Friction gets a bad rap for turning useful energy into useless energy.

Part 1 of 2
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

I got you.. i'm in middle school and had that same question.

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The vertical distance traveled is

s = 25 m

The initial vertical launch velocity is zero.

Therefore

s = (1/2)*g*t²

where g = 9.8 m/s²

t = the time of flight, s

That is,

0.5*9.8*t² = 25

t² = 25/4.9 = 5.102

t = 2.26 s

Answer: 2.26 s

A 115 g hockey puck sent sliding over ice is stopped in 15.1 m by the frictional force on it from the ice.
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

(a) Ff = 0.128 N

(b μk = 0.1135

Explanation:

kinematic analysis

Because the hockey puck  moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:

vf=v₀+a*t Formula (1)

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (2)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s

Calculation of the acceleration of the  hockey puck

We apply the Formula (1)

vf=v₀+a*t      v₀=5.8 m/s ,  vf=0

0=5.8+a*t

-5.8 = a*t

a= -5.8/t   Equation (1)

We replace a= -5.8/t in the Formula (2)

d= v₀*t+ (1/2)*a*t²   ,  d=15.1 m ,  v₀=5.8 m/s

15.1 = 5.8*t+ (1/2)*(-5.8/t)*t²  

15.1= 5.8*t-2.9*t

15.1= 2.9*t

t = 15.1 / 2.9

t= 5.2 s

We replace t= 5.2 s in the equation (1)

a= -5.8/5.2

a= -1.115 m/s²

(a) Calculation of the  frictional force (Ff)

We apply Newton's second law

∑F = m*a    Formula (3)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Look at the free body diagram of the  hockey puck in the attached graphic

∑Fx = m*a     m= 115g * 10⁻³ Kg/g = 0.115g    ,  a= -1.12 m/s²

-Ff = 0.115*(-1.115)  We multiply by (-1 ) on both sides of the equation

Ff = 0.128 N

(b) Calculation of the coefficient of friction (μk)

N: Normal Force (N)

W=m*g= 0.115*9.8= 1.127 N : hockey puck  Weight

g: acceleration due to gravity =9.8 m/s²

∑Fy = 0

N-W=0

N = W

N =  1.127 N

μk = Ff/N

μk = 0.128/1.127

μk = 0.1135

How to intercept a slope
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The slope intercept form is probably the most frequently used way to express equation of a line. To be able to use slope intercept form, all that you need to be able to do is 1) find the slope of a line and 2) find the y-intercept of a line.

Which statements describe a situation with a displacement of zero? Check all that apply.traveling south for 30 miles, then turni
cluponka [151]

Answer:

• riding on a Ferris wheel whose entrance and exit are the same

• walking around the block, starting from and ending at the same house

• running exactly one lap around a racetrack

Explanation:

Displacement simply means the.change in position of an object. In a situation whereby the initial and final position are thesame, the displacement will be zero.

The statements that describe a situation with a displacement of zero include:

• riding on a Ferris wheel whose entrance and exit are the same

• walking around the block, starting from and ending at the same house

• running exactly one lap around a racetrack
