2 Physics Questions WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!
1 answer:
Answer:
a) The force of friction is 1.5 N.
b) The new force is 4/9 times as large as the original force.
Explanation:
It is given that the book is moving on the table.
∴ The friction acting on the block should be kinetic.
∴ Coeffecient of kinetic friction , k = 0.3
The force of friction = kN , where 'N' is the normal force acting on the surface where friction is acting.
In this case , N = mg , where 'm' is the mass of the book and 'g' is the acceleration due to gravity.
∴ Force of friction , f = kmg = 0.3×0.5×10 = 1.5N
b) We know that ,
Gravitational force , F ∝ m , where 'm' is the mass of the body.
F ∝ where 'x' is the distance between the two bodies.
Since mass of both the bodies is doubled , the force will be 4 times as large compared to the original force F from the first proportionality equation.
However , as the distance is 3 times as large , the force will be 9 times as small as compared to the original force F
∴ The new force is 4/9 times as large as the old force
