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.

Explain how objects in motion have kinetic energy, use examples

Ann [662]

Kinetic energy is energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion, there for if an object is moving, it has kinetic energy.
Example; A roller coaster sitting on top of hill has potential energy. When it starts to move and is going down the hill, it has kinetic energy. :)

There is a bell at the top of a tower that is 45 m high. The bell weighs 190 N. The bell has ____________

salantis [7]

Answer:

The bell has a potential energy of 8550 [J]

Explanation:

Since the belt is 45 [m] above ground level, only potential energy is available. And this energy can be calculated by means of the following equation.

$E_{p}= W*h\\E_{p} = 190*45\\E_{p}=8550[J]$
