What are the components of friction?

Physics
1 answer:

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Friction:</u>

When an object slips on a surface, an opposing force acts between the tangent planes which acts in the opposite direction of motion. This opposing force is called Friction. Or in other words, Friction is the opposing force that opposes the motion between two surfaces.

The main component of friction are:

<u>Normal Reaction (R): </u>

Suppose a block is placed on a table in the above picture, which is in resting state, then two forces are acting on it at that time.

The first is due to its weight mg which is working from its center of gravity towards the vertical bottom.

The second one is superimposed vertically upwards by the table on the block, called the reaction force (P). This force passes through the center of gravity of the block.

Due to P = mg, the box is in equilibrium position on the table.

<u>Coefficient of friction ( </u>μ )<u>: </u>

The ratio of the force of friction and the reaction force is called the coefficient of friction.

Coefficient of friction, µ = force of friction / reaction force

μ = F / R

The coefficient of friction is volume less and dimensionless.

Its value is between 0 to 1.

<u>Advantage and disadvantage from friction force: </u>

  • The advantage of the force of friction is that due to friction, we can walk on the earth without slipping.
  • Brakes in all vehicles are due to the force of friction.
  • We can write on the board only because of the force of friction.
  • The disadvantage of this force is that due to friction, some parts of energy are lost in the machines and there is wear and tear on the machines.

<u>How to reduce friction: </u>

  • Using lubricants (oil or grease) in machines.
  • Friction can be reduced by using ball bearings etc.
  • Using a soap solution and powder.

Halley is standing outside on a cloudy day. When she hears thunder, she goes back inside so that she doesn't get caught in
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Inference

Explanation:

An inference involves the application of logic to progress from a premise to a conclusion or logical consequence on the basis of the evidence or known fact. Inference is a process of thought that be divided into a deduction and an induction aspect.

In the given question Halley, by standing outside was able to deduce the sound of thunder she is then able by inductive reasoning from the fact that storms are usually preceded by and accompany lightening, conclude that there is a storm coming.

Naya [18.7K]

We might have a trouble viewing the general part of galaxy because :   the Milky Way's center is so brilliant and filled with stars, it has been particularly challenging for astronomers to examine it because it is impossible to distinguish individual stars and clusters.

<h3>What is a Milky Way ?</h3>

There are many stars, grains of dust, and gas in the Milky Way. It is known as a spiral galaxy because, from the top or bottom, it would appear to be whirling like a pinwheel. About 25,000 light-years from the galaxy's nucleus, the Sun is situated on one of the spiral arms.

The Milky Way galaxy is made up of billions of stars, as well as gas and dust, which are all drawn to one another by gravitational pull, as well as a significant amount of dark matter. Our galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years [e1] across.

a person throws a ball upward into the air with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. calculate (a) how high it goes, and (b) how long
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

a) about 20.4 meters high

b) about 4.08 seconds

Explanation:

Part a)

To find the maximum height the ball reaches under the action of gravity (g = 9.8 m/s^2) use the equation that connects change in velocity over time with acceleration.

a=\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

-9.8 \frac{m}{s} =\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

In our case, the initial velocity of the ball as it leaves the hands of the person is Vi = 20 m/s, while thw final velocity of the ball as it reaches its maximum height is zero (0) m/s. Therefore we can solve for the time it takes the ball to reach the top:

-9.8  =\frac{0-20}{t}\\t=\frac{20}{9.8} s = 2.04 s

Now we use this time in the expression for the distance covered (final position Xf minus initial position Xi) under acceleration:

Xf-Xi=Vi*t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2} \\Xf-Xi=20*(2.04)-\frac{1}{2} 9.8*2.04^{2}\\Xf-Xi=20.408 m

Part b) Now we use the expression for distance covered under acceleration to find the time it takes for the ball to leave the person's hand and come back to it (notice that Xf-Xi in this case will be zero - same final and initial position)

Xf-Xi=0=20*(t)-\frac{1}{2} 9.8*t^{2

To solve for "t" in this quadratic equation, we can factor it out as shown:

0= t(20-\frac{9.8}{2} t)

Therefore there are two possible solutions when each of the two factors equals zero:

1) t= 0 (which is not representative of our case) , and

2) the expression in parenthesis is zero:

0= 20-\frac{9.8}{2} t\\t=\frac{20*2}{9.8} = 4.08 s

Nitella [24]

The tension in the string holding the tassel and the vertical will the tension in the string

  • T = 0.1953 N
  • Ф = 34.4 °

<h3>What is the tension in the string holding the tassel. ?</h3>

Generally, the equation for Tension is  mathematically given as

TCos\theta = mg

Therefore

TCos6.58^{o} = 19.8*10^{-3}*9.8

T = 0.1953 N

b).

Where

T* sin \theta = ma

0.1953*Sin6.58 \textdegree  = 19.8*10^{-3}*a

a = 1.13 m/s^2

In conclusion

T* sinФ = ma

2msinФ = ma

2sinФ = a

sin\theta = \frac{a}{2}

\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{a}{2} \\\\\theta= sin^{-1}\frac{1.13}{2}

Ф = 34.4 °

In conclusion, The tension in the string holding the tassel and the vertical will the tension in the string

T = 0.1953 N

Ф = 34.4 °

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

a) Em= K +U,  b) Em= K

Explanation:

The system in this case is formed by the mobilizes and the hill.

Let's write the expressions correctly and completely.

a) When the car moves in the path, the mechanical energy is the siua of the kinetic energy of the car and the potential energy of the car when going up the hill.

              Em = K + U

be) when the car moves in the flat part all the mechanical energy is formed by its kinetic energy that is calculated with the mass and speed of the car

             Em = K

c) When the car goes up the hill the energy the mechanical energy is conserved, but part of the kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy.
