Summerize how friction and inertia act on an object sliding on a flat surface

1 answer:

5 0

Inertia is when a object in motion will stay in motion or in a standing still state unless acted upon by a unbalancing force.
Friction is when a object slows down because it is rubbing against another object.

If a object is sliding across a surface, theoretically, it would not stop but because it is on a flat surface it would experience friction, this will disperse some of the kinetic energy that it has thus slowing the object down eventually, after some time, to a stop.

Hope this helps! :)

Any one tell me about the earth rotation it rotatining or not with any proof?

The proof that the earth is rotating is the happens of night and day also the seasons, eg. winter, summer, autumn.

If a series circuit contains a 12-V battery, a 6-ohm resistor, and a 4-ohm resistor, what is the current in the circuit?

Shalnov [3]

In a series circuit the total current is the same throughout resistors and so:

$I_{total}=I_1=I_2$

The voltage is distributed throughout the resistors and so:

$V_{total}=V_1+V_2$

and the total resistance can be calculated by adding up the resistors resistance:

$R_{total}=R_1+R_2$

First thing is to calculate the total resistance and so:

$R_{total}=6\Omega + 4\Omega = 10\Omega$

And by Omh's law V=IR we have:

$V_{total}=I_{total}R_{total}\\\\I_{total}=\frac{V_{total}}{R_{total}}= \frac{12V}{10\Omega} =1.2A$

And so the total current of the circuit is 1.2 amps i.e. 1.2 A.

What happens at night- describing air circulation

mash [69]

Answer:

The environment is warmed by the light throughout the day, such that the temperature increases. The weather is decreasing and the temperature decreases in the night as the sun falls. There was a misunderstanding. Thanks to the density, the atmosphere becomes densest on the earth. The air becomes colder and colder when you move up.

Answer is above
