Answer: The direction of the force of friction is such that it opposes the direction of motion that an object would move if there were no frictional force acting on the object.

Answer:

How does the direction of friction compare to an object's direction of motion?

The direction of friction is opposite to the direction of an object and parallel to the surface  in which the object is being sliding against.

Assuming the earth is a uniform sphere of mass M and radius R, show that the acceleration of fall at the earth's surface is give
Keith_Richards [23]

Explanation:

The weight of an object on the surface of the earth is equal to the gravitational force exerted by the earth on the object.

W=F_G

mg = G \dfrac{mM}{R^2}

which gives us an expression for the acceleration due to gravity <em>g</em> as

g = G\dfrac{M}{R^2}

At a height h = R, the radius of a satellite's orbit is 2R. Then the acceleration due to gravity g_h at this height is

mg_h = G \dfrac{mM}{(2R)^2}= G \dfrac{mM}{4R^2}

Simplifying this, we get

g_h= G \dfrac{M}{4R^2} = \dfrac{1}{4} \left(G \dfrac{M}{R^2} \right) = \dfrac{1}{4}g

An experiment is designed to investigate the relation between the pressure and temperature in a tank that has a constant volume
viva [34]

Answer:

3rd order polynomial

Explanation:

Given that the increase in the order of the polynomial the error between the curve fit and measured data will decreases hence  :

The polynomial order that is best to use is the 3rd order polynomial, this is because using a 3rd order polynomial will produce a less variance and a low Bias

8. A 30-kg box is sliding down a frictionless plane that is sloped at 24º. Assuming the object starts at rest,
Katena32 [7]

The net force on the box parallel to the plane is

∑ F[para] = mg sin(24°) = ma

where mg is the weight of the box, so mg sin(24°) is the magnitude of the component of its weight acting parallel to the surface, and a is the box's acceleration.

Solve for a :

g sin(24°) = a ≈ 3.99 m/s²

The box starts at rest, so after 7.0 s it attains a speed of

(3.99 m/s²) (7.0 s) ≈ 28 m/s
