Why is kinetic friction less than static?

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

A 0.4-kg toy train car moving forward at 3 m/s collides with and sticks to a 0.8–kg toy car that is traveling in the opposite di
Gemiola [76]

Hey there!

Seems like you're looking for the size and direction to the final velocity of the two cars. To find it, you must solve it like this.

0.4 kg(3 m/s) + 0.8kg(–2 m/s) = 1.2 kg m/s -1.6 kg m/s = –0.4 kg m/s

–0.4 kg m/s = 1.2 kg(v) = (–0.4 kg m/s)/(1.2 kg) = v = –0.33 m/s


So, the cars are traveling at -0.33 m/s in the direction of the second car.


Hope this helps

If the final speed of an object as is strikes the ground is 77 m/s and it was in the air for 6.5 seconds. What was the initial d
azamat

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 13.2 m/s

Explanation:

final speed (fs) = 77 m/s

t = 6.5 s

gravity (g) = 9.81 m/s2

initial speed (is) = ?

Formula

fs = is + gt     from this equation we clear "is" = fs - gt

Substitution                         is = 77 - (9,81)(6.5)

Process                               is = 77 - 63.8

                                            is = 13.2 m/s

What is air pressure?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A. Earth's gravity pulling down on air molecules

Explanation:

Air pressure refers to the weight of the air per unit surface area. It is the amount of gravitational force which is pulling down the molecules of air.

The common unit of air pressure is: Pascal, atm

1 atm = 101325 Pa

As the column of the air above increases, the air pressure increase. This is because with the increase in amount of air, the weight increase of the air increases. This is the reason a diver feels immense pressure in the sea and cooking takes a lot of time on hilly areas because of low air pressure.

You push a desk with 245 N, but the desk doesn't move due to its friction with the ground. What is the magnitude of the friction
const2013 [10]

If the desk doesn't move, then it's not accelerating.

If it's not accelerating, then the net force on it is zero.

If the net force on it is zero, then any forces on it are balanced.

If there are only two forces on it and they're balanced, then they have equal strengths, and they point in opposite directions.

So the friction on the desk must be equal to your<em> 245N</em> .
