If you increase the weight of an object, the frictional force increases but the coefficient does not change why

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

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, we expect (in theory) an increase in friction when the normal force is increased.

One more thing, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force

As you know, a common example of a harmonic oscillator is a mass attached to a spring. In this problem, we will consider a horiz

a)E= U + K = $\frac{1}{2}$ kx² + $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²

The total energy of the system at any point in the motion is equal to the sum of the elastic potential energy of the spring, U, and of the kinetic energy of the mass, K:

E= U + K = $\frac{1}{2}$ kx² + $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²

where

'k' represents the spring constant

'x' is the compression/stretching of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position

'm' is the mass of the block attached to the spring

and 'v' is the speed of the block

b) A= $\sqrt{\frac{2E}{k}}$

The amplitude of the motion compares to the most extreme displacement of the mass-spring system. The displacement of the system, x(t), at time t, for a simple harmonic oscillator is given by,

x= Asin(ωt+∅)

where

amplitude is 'A'

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ is the angular frequency of the motion

t is the time

$\phi$ is the phase (we can take $\phi$ =0 )

The amplitude of the motion occurs when the displacement of the motion is maximum: x=A. Regarding energy, the mass-spring system is at its maximum displacement (x=A) when all the mechanical energy of the framework is elastic potential energy, so when the kinetic energy is zero:

K= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ =0

E= $\frac{1}{2}kA^2\\$ -->(1)

A= $\sqrt{\frac{2E}{k}}$

c) $v_{max}=\omega A$

When the elastic potential energy is zero, the maximum speed of the system occurs i.e U=0 and the kinetic energy is maximum, so:

U=0

E= $\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$

According to the law of conservation of the mechanical energy, this energy must be equal to the energy of the system at its maximum displacement (1), so we can write

$\frac{1}{2}kA^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$
