Compare and contrast four types of friction

Physics

Some of these frictions depend on the Pressure, temperature of atmosphere.

Static Friction: This is the  friction force when two objects in contact  are not moving relative to each other. This friction is higher than kinetic friction.

Kinetic or Dynamic friction: this the friction force opposing the motion of objects, when two objects in contact are in motion relative to each other.  It is less than the static friction. The two surfaces are rubbing against each other as they move.

Rolling friction:  This is the friction when two objects are in contact and one object is rolling over the other - like a wheel on a road. The point of contact appears as stationary. The rolling friction is very less compared to static friction & dynamic friction.

Lubricated friction: this is the friction between two solid surfaces in contact with a layer of lubricant fluid flowing in between them. This friction is the least.

Fluid friction - viscosity :  this is friction between two adjacent layers that are moving relative to each other at different speeds in a fluid.  This is not high.

Internal friction: when an object is compressed and forced to deform, like in a piece of rubber, there is friction between the layers, that opposes this deformation.

Skin friction is the friction that opposes movement of a fluid across a solid surface.  This is also called drag.  When a coin is dropped in water, there is a friction called drag on the coin. Same is the case when a ball is thrown, a drag is experienced by the ball due to the drag of air.

Harrison wanted to find out what soil works best for growing roses. He grew them in potting soil, clay, sand, and soil he found
zepelin [54]

Answer:

This question is asking to identify the following variables:

Independent variable (IV): TYPE OF SOIL

Dependent variable (DV): HEIGHT AND NUMBER OF LEAVES

Control group: None in this experiment

Constant: SAME ROSE PLANT, SAME TIME INTERVAL (1 WEEK)

Explanation:

Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is manipulated or changed by the experimenter in order to effect a measurable outcome. In this case, the independent variable is the TYPE OF SOIL used.

Dependent variable is the measurable variable that responds to changes made to the independent variable. In this experiment, the dependent variable is the HEIGHT AND NUMBER OF LEAVES of each rose.

Constants or control variable is the variable that is kept unchanged or constant for all groups throughout the experiment. In this experiment, the constants are SAME ROSE PLANT, SAME TIME INTERVAL (1 WEEK).

Control group are the groups that does not receive the experimental treatment. In this case, all the groups received the experimental treatment (different soil types). Hence, there is no control

A car is 200 m from a stop sign and traveling toward the sign at 40.0 m/s. At this time, the driver suddenly realizes that she m
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car will be a=9600m/sec^

Explanation:

We have given that distance from stop sign s = 200 m

Time t = 0.2 sec

We have to find the constant acceleration

Now from second equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

200=40\times 0.2+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 0.2^2

a=9600m/sec^

So the acceleration of the car will be a=9600m/sec^
