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.

An ice skater is spinning at 6.00 rev/s with his moment of inertia being 0.400 kg/m2. Calculate his new moment of inertia if he

labwork [276]

Answer:

New moment of inertia will be $I=1.92kgm^2$

Explanation:

It is given initially angular velocity $\omega =6rev/sec=6\times 2\pi =37.68rad/sec$

Moment of inertia $I=0.4kgm^2$

Angular momentum is equal to $L=I\omega =37.68\times 0.4=15.072kgm^2/sec$

Now angular velocity is decreases to $\omega =1.25rev/sec=1.25\times 2\times 3.14=7.85rad/sec$

As we know that angular momentum is conserved

So $15.072=I\times 7.85$

$I=1.92kgm^2$

So new moment of inertia will be $I=1.92kgm^2$

The vapor pressure of diethyl ether (ether) is 463.57 mm Hg at 25°C. How many grams of chlorophyll, C55H72MgN4O5, a nonvolatile,

mixer [17]

Answer:

29.4855 grams of chlorophyll

Explanation:

From Raoult's law

Mole fraction of solvent = vapor pressure of solution ÷ vapor pressure of solvent = 457.45 mmHg ÷ 463.57 mmHg = 0.987

Mass of solvent (diethyl ether) = 187.4 g

MW of diethyl ether (C2H5OC2H5) = 74 g/mol

Number of moles of solvent = mass/MW = 187.4/74 = 2.532 mol

Let the moles of solute (chlorophyll) be y

Total moles of solution = moles of solute + moles of solvent = (y + 2.532) mol

Mole fraction of solvent = moles of solvent/total moles of solution

0.987 = 2.532/(y + 2.532)

y + 2.532 = 2.532/0.987

y + 2.532 = 2.565

y = 2.565 - 2.532 = 0.033

Moles of solute (chlorophyll) = 0.033 mol

Mass of chlorophyll = moles of chlorophyll × MW = 0.033 × 893.5 = 29.4855 grams

Object a travels in the +x-direction before hitting a stationary object

Leto [7]

The object’s resultant angle of motion with the +x-axis after the collision is 47°

<span>From object A:

1) x-momentum is 5.7 × 10^4 kilogram meters/second,
2) y-momentum is 6.2 × 10^4 kilogram meters/second.

Now, we know, tan</span>Ф = $\frac{y}{x}$

⇒tanФ = $\frac{6.2 × 10^4 }{5.7 × 10^4}$

⇒tanФ = 1.088

⇒ Ф = $tan^{-1}$ 1.088
= 47.4 ≈ 47
