A ball moves along a smooth metal surface while an identical ball moves along concrete.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

2. The metal surface exerts less frictional force because there are fewer bumps and irregularities on it than there are on the concrete.

Explanation:

Frictional force is a force that is exerted between two surfaces in contact with each other. Frictional force always opposes the direction of relative motion of the two surfaces: for instance, for a ball moving along a surface, the force of friction exerted by the surface on the ball points opposite to the direction of motion of the ball.

The magnitude of the frictional force for a ball moving on a flat surface is given by

F=\mu mg

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the ball

g is the acceleration of gravity

The value of \mu depends on the type of surface involved. In particular, a smooth surface has a smaller value of \mu, while a rough surface will have a bigger value. In this case, we are comparing a smooth metal surface with concrete: since the metal surface has fewer bumps and irregularities than concrete, it has a smaller value of coefficient of friction, so it exerts less frictional force than concrete.

Noah drops a rock with a density of 1.73 g/cm3 into a pond. Will the rock float or sink? Explain your answer.
wel

Answer:

Sink

Explanation:

The normal density of water is 1 g/cm3.  Since the rock has a higher density of 1.72g/cm3, it will sink in water.

U = 0, initial vertical velocity
v = 60 mph = 88 ft/s

Ignore air resistance and take g = 32 ft/s².
It t = time to attain 60 mph, then
(88 ft/s) = (32 ft/s²)*(t s)
t = 88/32 = 2.75 s

Answer: 2.75 s
