As a general rule, how does mass affect the force of friction?

Mass affects it usually due to weight. The more mass something has, the heavier it will be. This will cause friction with gravity and the surface it is on :)

Name one contact force and one force that acts through a force field
nirvana33 [79]
A contact force is a type of force which act on an object by coming in contact with the object. Examples of contact force that acts through a force field are: applied force, frictional force, air resistance force, tension, spring force, etc.
  Examples of forces that act through a force field are gravitational force, electromagnetic force, the weak interaction and the strong interaction.

If an exit sign is hanging from the ceiling by three chains each of which has a tension of 15N what is the weight of the sign
kvasek [131]
The weight is 45 N, because the three chains hold the sign, and each contributes 15 N.

Notice that the mass would be the weight/acceleration of gravity, m = 45/9.8 kg. But they ask the weight (force, so Newtons)

Calculate the potential energy of a +1.0μC point charge sitting 0.1m from a -5.0μC point charge.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

P.E.      =   -0.449 J

Explanation:

Potential energy of a charge particle in any electrostatic field is defined as the amount of work done ( in negative ) to bring that charge particle from any position to a new position r.

Now Potential energy is defined by this formula,

P.E. = k q₁ q₂/ r

where P.E. is the potential energy.

k = 1/( 4πε₀) = 8.99 × 10⁹ C²/ ( Nm²)

q₁ = charge of one particle = +1.0μC

q₂ = charge of another particle = -5.0μC

r = distance = 0.1 m

Now , P.E. = 8.99 × 10⁹C²/ ( Nm²) * ( -5.0 × 10⁻⁶ C ) × ( 1 × 10⁻⁶ C ) / 0.1 m

          P.E.      =  -0.449 J

If your front lawn is 18.0 feet wide and 20.0 feet long, and each square foot of lawn accumulates 1050 new snow flakes every min
Ivanshal [37]
<span>First, we need to determine the entire area of your front line by multiplying its length times its width.
18.0*20.0 = 360.0 square feet
We can use the rate of accumulation of snow, combined with this figure, to determine how much snow accumulates on your lawn per minute.
360.0 sq ft * 1050 flakes/min/sq ft = 378,000 flakes/min
We can then use the mass of a snowflake to calculate total snow accumulation per minute.
378,000 flakes/min * 2.00 mg/flake = 756,000 mg/min
Finally, we can use this number to determine accumulation per hour.
756,000 mg/min * 60 min/hr =
45,360,000 mg/hr</span>
