To increase it's size
Waxing is the opposite of waning, which is to decrease.
Potential energy is stored energy. For example, if a bowling ball is on top of a giant hill, we say it has potential energy because it has the potential to do work which is to roll down the hill.
Kinetic energy is the energy of movement so once that ball rolls down that hill, that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Answer:
a. 32.67 rad/s² b. 29.4 m/s²
Explanation:
a. The initial angular acceleration of the rod
Since torque τ = Iα = WL (since the weight of the rod W is the only force acting on the rod , so it gives it a torque, τ at distance L from the pivot )where I = rotational inertia of uniform rod about pivot = mL²/3 (moment of inertia about an axis through one end of the rod), α = initial angular acceleration, W = weight of rod = mg where m = mass of rod = 1.8 kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and L = length of rod = 90 cm = 0.9 m.
So, Iα = WL
mL²α/3 = mgL
dividing through by mL, we have
Lα/3 = g
multiplying both sides by 3, we have
Lα = 3g
dividing both sides by L, we have
α = 3g/L
Substituting the values of the variables, we have
α = 3g/L
= 3 × 9.8 m/s²/0.9 m
= 29.4/0.9 rad/s²
= 32.67 rad/s²
b. The initial linear acceleration of the right end of the rod?
The linear acceleration at the initial point is tangential, so a = Lα = 0.9 m × 32.67 rad/s² = 29.4 m/s²
Answer:
Usually the coefficient of friction remains unchanged
Explanation:
The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, friction is increased when normal force is increased.
Plus, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force.
