Why is kinetic friction less than static?

1 answer:

7 0

The kinetic friction is usually not greater than the applied force. Keep applying more force until you reach a maximum value for the static friction

The depth of the Pacific Ocean in the Mariana Trench is 36,198 ft. What is the gauge pressure at this depth

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

the pressure at the depth is 1.08 × $10^{8}$ Pa

Explanation:

The pressure at the depth is given by,

P = h $\rho$ g

Where, P = pressure at the depth

h = depth of the Pacific Ocean in the Mariana Trench = 36,198 ft = 11033.15 meter

$\rho$ = density of water = 1000 $\frac{kg}{m^{3} }$

g = acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

P = 11033.15 × 9.8 × 1000

P = 1.08 × $10^{8}$ Pa

Thus, the pressure at the depth is 1.08 × $10^{8}$ Pa

If half of the weight of a flatbed truck is supported by its two drive wheels, what is the maximum acceleration it can achieve o

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Maximum acceleration will be equal to $3.43m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _k=0.7$

And coefficient of static friction $\mu _s=1$

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

When truck moves maximum force will be equal to $F=\mu _kmg$

It is given that half of the weight is supported by its drive wheels

So force required $=\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}$

From newtons law maximum acceleration will be equal to $a=\frac{\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}}{m}=\frac{\mu _kg}{2}=\frac{0.7\times 9.8}{2}=3.43m/sec^2$
