What is friction and how does it affect objects in motion?

Friction<span> is an important force because it is a force that </span>affects motion. This force exerted by the surface of an object when another object moves against it is the result of molecular attractions between the objects' surfaces, and works in the direction opposite to the direction of the motion<span>. hope this helps you. </span>

Friction is a force. A resistance force that tries to slow down and stop objects in motion. The difference between friction and air resistance is that friction acts on surfaces. For example, if I were skateboarding on a rough surface, more friction would occur so I would travel slower. If I were skareboarding on ice, I would go faster because there is much less friction to slow me down. Hope that helps:)

What is capacitance?

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

A, the amount of charge stored per volt

Explanation:

Capacitance is defined below:

C = Q/V

Therefore capacitance is charge per volt which gets the unit farad.

A boat is able to move through still water at 20 m/s. It makes a round trip to a town 3.0 km upstream. If the river flows at 5m/

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Option e) 320 s

Explanation:

Here, distance = 3.0 km = 3000 m

The velocity of boat when it is going upstream;

Upstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water - velocity of river flow

So, Upstream velocity $=20m/s-5m/s=15m/s$

So,Time to go upstream

$(t_{1}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{15m/s} =200 s$

The velocity of boat when it is going downstream;

Downstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water + velocity of river flow

So, Downstream velocity $=20m/s+5m/s=25m/s$

So,Time to go downstream

$(t_{2}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{25m/s} =120 s$

So, total time (t) = $t_{1}+t_{2}=200s+120 s=320s$

Option E is the correct answer.

When looking for distance you multiply speed by time

So 15 x 2 = 30

30 is the distance between his house and school

What happens to the gravitational force between two objects when their distance is changed?

kykrilka [37]

If they become closer, it is increased, and if the objects become farther away is decreased.

The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is f1. planet 2, which is three times as massive as planet 1 and orbit

Margaret [11]

Let us consider two bodies having masses m and m' respectively.

Let they are separated by a distance of r from each other.

As per the Newtons law of gravitation ,the gravitational force between two bodies is given as - $F = G\frac{mm'}{r^{2} }$ where G is the gravitational force constant.
