How do you think the mass of an object affects how much friction get exerted on the object by a rough surface?

Explanation:

Friction can't affect mass of a substance(considering for a substance whose mass doesn't change with time),rather it is the mass of an object which can affect friction variously. Let's take some example to understand the situation. So,higher the mass of the object,higher will be the frictional force.

Friction occurs because no surface is perfectly smooth. Rougher surfaces have more friction between them. Heavier objects also have more friction because they press together with greater force. Friction produces heat because it causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster and have more energy.

How many kilocalories (Calories) does the snack bar contain?

laiz [17]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Attached is a picture of a chocolate bar that can be easily found on the market. In this picture, we see the table of contents with the amount of energy that depends on the mass in grams of the chocolate bar.

We see that for the bar size of 100G, the energy value is 483 [kcal].

We can see that the energy depends on the size of the chocolate bar.

Let this oscillator have the same energy as a mass on a spring, with the same k and m, released from rest at a displacement of 5

allochka39001 [22]

There are a lot of same examples that you may have worked before, where the mass on a spring uses a classics when it comes to mechanics. So in this system, always put in your mind that there is an enormous quantum standard that one can use in the equation. It should be 2.10x10 raise to a negative sixth. J.

Describe the type of rock and it’s texture that would form from the melted meteorite and Earths rocks

Leto [7]

Igneous rocks are formed from solidification and cooling of magma. The magma can be obtanied from partial melts of pre-existing rocks in either the planet's mantle or crust. Plutonic or intrusive rocks area result of when the magma cools and crystallizes slowly within the Earth's crust. A example is granite.

Prove that s=ut+½at²

katrin2010 [14]

Explanation:

Distance travelled = Area under the line

= ut + ½ (v-u)t

Acceleration (a) = (v-u)/t and so (v-u) = at

Therefore,

Distance travelled (s) = ut + ½ (v-u)t = ut + ½ (at)t = ut + ½ at²

Thus,proved.
