What are two ways to increase frictional force?

1 answer:

7 0

Ways to increase friction - increase the area of contact - increase the roughness of the contact materials - dry up or take away any lubricant - increase the pressure on the contact

A 5 meter long ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at the constant rate of 1 3 m/s.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:9.75 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Length of ladder $(L)=5 m$

Foot the ladder is moving away with speed of $\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=13 m/s$

From diagram

$x^2+y^2=L^2$ ------1

at $x=3$

$y^2=25-9=16$

$y=4 m$

Now differentiating equation 1 w.r.t time

$2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}+2y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=0$

$x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=-y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$3\times 13=-4\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=-\frac{3\times 13}{4}=-9.75 m/s$

negative indicates distance is decreasing with time

What can you infer from the fact that metals are good conductors of electricity?

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Knowing that these metals are infact good conductors of electricity we can infer that metals are able to hold and conduct certain temperatures. Another thing we can infer is that these good conductors can be used in connection to transferring energy or electricity.

Use the fact that 1inch=2.54cm and convert 52 inches into the equivalent length in centimeters.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

To convert inches to centimeters, use an easy formula and multiply the length by the conversion ratio.

Since one inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters, this is the inches to cm formula to conver

Answer:

The maximum speed that the truck can have and still be stopped by the 100m road is the speed that it can go and be stopped at exactly 100m. Since there is no friction, this problem is similar to a projectile problem. You can think of the problem as being a ball tossed into the air except here you know the highest point and you are looking for the initial velocity needed to reach that point. Also, in this problem, because there is an incline, the value of the acceleration due to gravity is not simply g; it is the component of gravity acting parallel to the incline. Since we are working parallel to the plane, also keep in mind that the highest point is given in the problem as 100m. Solving for the initial velocity needed to have the truck stop after 100m, you should find that the maximum velocity the truck can have and be stopped by the road is 18.5 m/s.
