A physics major is cooking breakfast when he notices that the frictional force between the steel spatula and the Oiled Steel fry

ing pan is only 0.200 N. Knowing the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two materials (0.03), he quickly calculates the normal force. What is it (in N)?

Answer:

N  = 6.67 N

Explanation:

The frictional or frictional force is a force that arises from the contact of two bodies and opposes movement.

The friction is due to imperfections and roughness, mainly microscopic, that exist on the surfaces of the bodies. Upon contact, these roughnesses engage with each other making movement difficult. To minimize the effect of friction, either the surfaces are polished or lubricated, since the oil fills the imperfections, preventing them from snagging.

As the frictional force depends on the materials and the force exerted on one another, its magnitude is obtained by the following expression:

f = μ*N    Formula (1)

where:  

f is the friction force  (N)

μ is the coefficient of friction

N is the normal force (N)

Data

f = 0.2 N : frictional force between the steel spatula and the Oiled Steel frying pan

μ = 0.03 :coefficient of kinetic friction between the two materials

Calculating of normal force

We replace data in the formula (1)

f = μ*N  

0.2  = 0.03*N  

N  = 0.2 / 0.03

N  = 6.67 N

A battery powers a circuit for a small noisy fan. The fan’s motor gets warm as it turns. What energy transformations are taking
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The battery is an electric energy source, which is being used to power a motor. The motor turns this electricity into kinetic energy as it spins the fan, creates heat from friction, and creates noise as stated by the problem.

Answer:

The the analysis for the free fall part should be done under the constant acceleration.

Explanation:

In the given problem, the jumper is falling under the free fall. Since, no external force is acting on the body therefore, the fall will be under the action gravity only. also, the acceleration due to gravity is always constant.

Therefore, the the analysis for the free fall part should be done under the constant acceleration.
