Which forces tend to slow down an object

1 answer:

8 0

The answer is "friction and air resistance" gravity does some of the work by keeping the object from floating away, but friction and air resistance does the biggest part. Friction is how rough the ground it meaning on tile, dirt, grass, etc... that would slow down the object and air resistance is the gravity pushing on the object also making it stop.

Hope this helps!

A crate with a mass of m = 450 kg rests on the horizontal deck of a ship. The coefficient of static friction between the crate a

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: $F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg$

Magnitude of the force is 2601.9 N

Explanation:

m = 450 kg

coefficient of static friction μs = 0.73

coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.59

The force required to start crate moving is $F_{s} =\mu_{s} mg$ .

but once crate starts moving the force of friction is reduced $F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg$ .

Hence to keep crate moving at constant velocity we have to reduce the force pushing crate ie $F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg$ .

Then the above pushing force will equal the frictional force due to kinetic friction and constant velocity is possible as forces are balanced.

Magnitude of the force

$F_{v} =\mu_{k} mg\\F_{v} =0.59 \times 450 \times 9.8\\F_{v} =2601.9 N$

A block of mass 12.2 kg is sliding at an initial velocity of 3.9 m/s in the positive x-direction. The surface has a coefficient

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Force of friction = μ R where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction and R is reaction force

R = mg where m is mass of the block

Force of friction F = μ x mg

= .173 x 12.2 x 9.8

= 20.68 N

b ) Only force of friction is acting on the body so

deceleration = force / mass = 20.68 / 12.2 = 1.7 m /s²

acceleration = - 1.7 m /s²

c )

v² = u² - 2 a s

v = 0 , u = 3.9 m /s

a = 1.7 m /s

0 = 3.9² - 2 x 1.7 x s

s = 4.47 m

A stone on ground is zero energy

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

A stone on the ground does not have zero energy…there is an internal potential in every object. Aldo is not in action or in any mechanical motion it is being acted upon by gravity and also molecular forces and energy.

Hope this helps !

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

Komok [63]

Answer:

yes every action as an equal and and opposite reaction. if you throw a tool then it will give you a reaction and you will move back.

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.

To understand it better:

Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.

So, if you as an astronaut in the described situation throw your tool in the direction that you are traveling (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, you will be automatically moving towards the station
