Do frictional forces act in the same direction or in the opposite direction to the applied force?

Physics

Evgesh-ka [11]3 years ago
3 0

Frictional forces act in the direction opposite to the MOTION. That direction could be the same OR opposite to applied force.

-- If you push a loaded heavy wagon from behind, trying to get it going faster, friction is acting against you, opposite to your force.

-- If you push a loaded rolling heavy wagon from in front, trying to make it slow down, friction is acting with you, in the same direction as your force.

-- Opposite to the motion both times.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

25.08m/s

Explanation:

mgh1 + 0.5mv1² = mgh2 + 0.5mv2²

h1 = 0m

v1 = u

h2 = 5m

v2 = 23m/s

putting the values into the formula above;

m(10)(0) + 0.5m(u²) = m(10)(5) + 0.5m(23²)

0 + 0.5mu² = 50m + 264.5m

0.5mu² = 314.5m

dividing through by m

0.5u² = 314.5

u² = 629

u = <u>2</u><u>5</u><u>.</u><u>0</u><u>8</u><u>m</u><u>/</u><u>s</u>

A guitarist finds that the pitch of one of her strings is slightly flat—the frequency is a bit too low. Should she increase or d
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The guitarist should increase the tension of the string.

Explanation:

The frequency of a vibrating string is determined by fn=(n/(2L))√T/μ. So if the tension in the string increased, the rate at which it vibrates (the frequency) will also increase.

Therefore it is advisable that she increase the tension of the string.

Where does pressure come from?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

It is made up of molecules which are pulled down to Earth by gravity. That pull makes molecules bump into each other, exerting pressure. Our bodies are specially adapted to living under 1 kilogram per square centimeter (14.7 pounds per square inch) of pressure pushing down on us at sea level!
