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

2 answers:

4 0

Friction is an important force because it is a force that 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. hope this helps you.

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:)

Consider three identical electric bulbs of power P. Two of bulbs are connected in series and the third one is connected in paral

Tamiku [17]

Answer: 3P/2

Explanation: Let the resistance of the bulbs be R.

now lets consider a Voltage V is supplied to the parallel circuit such that

$P=VI=V^2/R$

V=IR

both single bulb( bulb 3) and the two bulbs ( bulb 1 and bulb 2) are provided the same Voltage

( as the voltage remains same in parallel circuit)

we can calculate the Current across both circuits

At Bulb 3

Current 1=V/R

Power1=Voltage * Current1

Power1=V*V/R

Power1=P

At Bulb 1 and Bulb 2

Total Resistance= R+R=2R

$Current2=\frac{V}{2R}$

Power2=Voltage * Current2

$Power2=V*\frac{V}{2R} \\Power2=\frac{V^2}{2R} \\Power2=P/2$

$TotalPower=Power1+Power2\\TotalPower=P+P/2\\TotalPower=\frac{3P}{2}$

4.2 mol of monatomic gas A interacts with 3.2 mol of monatomic gas B. Gas A initially has 9500 J of thermal energy, but in the p

Komok [63]

Answer:

14657.32 J

Explanation:

Given Parameters ;

Number of moles mono atomic gas A , n 1 = 4 .2 mol

Number of moles mono atomic gas B , n 2 = 3.2mol

Initial energy of gas A , K A = 9500 J

Thermal energy given by gas A to gas B , Δ K = 600 J

Gas constant R = 8.314 J / molK

Let K B be the initial energy of gas B.

Let T be the equilibrium temperature of the gas after mixing.

Then we can write the energy of gas A after mixing as

(3/2)n1RT = KA - ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 4.2 x 8.314 x T = 9500 - 600

T = (8900 x 3 )/(2x4.2x8.314) = 382.32 K

Energy of the gas B after mixing can be written as

(3/2)n2RT = KB + ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32 = KB + 600

⟹ KB = [(3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32] - 600

⟹ KB = 14657.32 J
