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

Physics
1 answer:
natta225 [31]3 years ago

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! :)

A 40kg cart gains a KE of 200J. How fast does it go?
34kurt

Answer:

3.16 m/s

Explanation:

Use the formula

k =  \frac{m {v}^{2} }{2}  \\ v =  \sqrt{ \frac{2k}{m} }  \\ v =  \sqrt{ \frac{2(200)}{40} }  \\ v = 3.16 \frac{m}{s}

You have just moved into a new apartment and are trying to arrange your bedroom. You would like to move your dresser of weight 3
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

0.

Explanation:

(A) Work done on the dresser which will be given as :

W = F d cos \theta

where, F = weight of the dresser = 3500 N

d_{expected} = 5m

However you can move the dresser, that is a real distance,

d = 0 m

Substituting,

W = (0) F(3500)cos (\theta) (\theta is the angle at which you apply the force)

W = 0 J

I appreciate any help I get on this, thank you in advanced :)

The picture isn’t clear so I can’t read the dimensions of the box but I can try my best to guide u through the question.

For part a u need to find the volume of the box as that will equal the volume of sand that can be filled inside.
For this u multiply the height, width and length of the box.

For part b the mass of sand alone will be
=Mass of box + sand - Mass of empty box
=216 - 40
=176 grams

For part c the density of sand can be calculated by the formula
Density= Mass/Volume
So the mass (176g) / volume from part a

For part d u need to know that something will float if it has a lower density than what it is floating in. If the final density of sand that was found in part c is less than the density of gold (19.3 g/cm^3) it will float. Otherwise it will sink.

Hope this helped!
