Why does friction increase as speed increases??

Friction is directly related to air particles.

When we say that friction is high, it means that you're colliding with lots of air particles, and hence you can't speed up as easily.
Thus, the more air particles you encounter, the higher the friction.

The faster you go, the more particles you will encounter in a given time; hence at higher speeds, the friction is higher.

ella [17]

Answer:

The time taken by the duck to cross the lake is, t= 4 s

Explanation:

Given data,

The initial speed of the ducks, u = 3 m/s

The final speed of the ducks, v = 7 m/s

The acceleration of the duck, a = 1 m/s²

The formula for the acceleration is,

                               a = (v - u) / t

∴                               t = (v - u) / a

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                                t = (7 - 3) / 1

                                  = 4 s

Hence, the time taken by the duck to cross the lake is, t= 4 s

you push a sled of mass 15 kg across the snow with a force of 180 N for a distance of 2.5 m. There is no friction. if the sled s
Oxana [17]
<span>7.7 m/s First, determine the acceleration you subject the sled to. You have a mass of 15 kg being subjected to a force of 180 N, so 180 N / 15 kg = 180 (kg m)/s^2 / 15 kg = 12 m/s^2 Now determine how long you pushed it. For constant acceleration the equation is d = 0.5 A T^2 Substitute the known values getting, 2.5 m = 0.5 12 m/s^2 T^2 2.5 m = 6 m/s^2 T^2 Solve for T 2.5 m = 6 m/s^2 T^2 0.41667 s^2 = T^2 0.645497224 s = T Now to get the velocity, multiply the time by the acceleration, giving 0.645497224 s * 12 m/s^2 = 7.745966692 m/s After rounding to 2 significant figures, you get 7.7 m/s</span>

The wind speed increased but in the same direction.
It is A/1 because the wind speed did increase and it is still going the same way clockwise because it also did not move that much.

Question 8
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

It has a mass of 40 kg.

Explanation:

Because Force = mass x Acceleration or F = m a, we could say that the mass is force/acceleration which in your case is 2,400/60 which equals 40 kg.
