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.

A ball accelerates from rest down a ramp at 2.4 m/s^2. Write an equation that could be used to determine the balls finals positi
Alik [6]

Answer:

x=2.4t+4.9t^2

Explanation:

This equation is one of the kinematic equations to solve for distance. The original equation is as follows:

X=Xo+Vt+1/2at^2

We know that the ball starts at rest meaning that its initial velocity and position is zero.

X=0+Vt+1/2at^2

Since it is going down the ramp, you can use the acceleration of gravity constant. (9.81 m/s^2) and simplify that with the 1/2.

X=Vt+4.9t^2

Note: Since the positive direction in this problem is down, you are adding the 4.9t^2, but if a question says that the downward direction is negative, you would subtract those values.

Now, substitute in your velocity value.

X=2.4t+4.9t^2

Two balls have their centers 2.0 m apart. One ball has a mass of m1 = 7.9 kg. The other has a mass of m2 = 6.1 kg. What is the g
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

3.036×10⁻¹⁰ N

Explanation:

From newton's law of universal gravitation,

F = Gm1m2/r² .............................. Equation 1

Where F = Gravitational force between the balls, m1 = mass of the first ball, m2 = mass of the second ball, r = distance between their centers.

G = gravitational constant

Given: m1 = 7.9 kg, m2 = 6.1 kg, r = 2.0 m, G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/C²

Substituting into equation 1

F = 6.67×10⁻¹¹×7.9×6.1/2²

F = 321.427×10⁻¹¹/4

F = 30.36×10⁻¹¹

F = 3.036×10⁻¹⁰ N

Hence the force between the balls = 3.036×10⁻¹⁰ N
