What is the direction of friction if a ball is rolling on the ground?

Physics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago
3 0
The direction is the same as the direction the ball is moving in. Because of the rolling of the ball, the direction of movement of the surface of the ball is opposite the overall direction of the ball. Since friction will oppose the direction of movement of the surface of the ball, it is in the same direction as the net direction of movement of the ball.

On what mass will a force 16N produce an acceleration of 160N<br><br><br><br><br><br>​
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

m = 0.1 [kg]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration. In this way, we have the following equation.

F =m*a

where:

F = force = 16[N]

a = acceleration = 160 [m/s²]

m = mass [kg]

Now replacing:

m=F/a\\m = 16/160\\m = 0.1 [kg]

A uniform electric field of magnitude 375 n/c pointing in the positive x - direction acts on an electron, which is initially at
Finger [1]
(a) The force exerted by the electric field on the electron is given by the product between the electron charge q and the intensity of the electric field E:
F=qE=(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(375 N/C)=6\cdot 10^{-17}N
Under the action of this force, the electron moves by:
\Delta x = 3.20 cm=0.032 m
And the work done by the electric field on the electron is equal to the product between the magnitude of the force and the displacement of the electron. The sign has to be taken as positive, because the direction of the force is the same as the displacement of the electron, so:
W=F \Delta x= (6\cdot 10^{-17}N)(0.032 m)=1.9 \cdot 10^{-18}J

(b) The electron is initially at rest and it starts to move under the action of the electric field. This means that as it moves, it acquires kinetic energy and it loses potential energy. The change in potential energy is the opposite of the work done by the electric field:
\Delta U = U_f - U_i = -1.9 \cdot 10^{-18} J
Where Uf and Ui are the final and initial potential energy of the electron.

(c) For the conservation of energy, the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy of the electron at the beginning of the motion and at the end must be equal:
U_i + K_i = U_f + K_f (1)
where Ki and Kf are the initial and final kinetic energies.
The electron is initially at rest, so Ki =0, and we can rewrite (1) as 
U_i - U_f = - \Delta U = K_f = \frac{1}{2}m_e v_f^2
and by using the mass of the electron me, we can find the value of the final velocity of the electron:
v_f= \sqrt{ -\frac{2 \Delta U}{m_e} }= \sqrt{- \frac{2(-1.9 \cdot 10^{-18} J)}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} } =2.04 \cdot 10^6 m/s

Why must objects be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance?
zubka84 [21]
Objects should be cooled before their mass is determined on a sensitive balance because it could damage the balance. Also, because it would give you wrong reading of the mass. Hot objects would warm the air around it. A warm air would expand and would produce convection as it rises causing to give the object a mass that is less than the actual. Another reason would be it would cause instability in the readings, the mass would fluctuate every now and then due to the convection currents around the object. It is always recommended to weigh the masses of objects that are in room temperature.

What is the relationship between Potential and Kinetic Energy of a falling object
artcher [175]

Object Falling from Rest. As an object falls from rest, its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Conservation of energy as a tool permits the calculation of the velocity just before it hits the surface. K.E. = J, which is of course equal to its initial potential energy.

Answer:

The inner planets are closer to the Sun and are smaller and rockier. The outer planets are further away, larger and made up mostly of gas. The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus , Earth and Mars.
