What is friction?

Physics
2 answers:
neonofarm [45]3 years ago

The best answer is C.

The force that opposes the motion of an object is called friction.

There are two kind of friction namely kinetic and static friction forces.

Kinetic friction is the force that is exerted on one surface by another when the two surfaces rub against each other because one or both surfaces are moving.

Static friction is the opposing force that acts against a secondary force that is trying to cause a stationery object to start moving.   If there is no such force acting on the subject, the static friction is nil or zero.

Hello!

<em><u>Answer: C.</u></em>

Explanation:

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Friction is an opposing force between two objects. Friction is a contact force that objects exert on each other when they rub together. Friction opposes motion. Microscopic bumps and ridges cause friction. Rougher surfaces create greater friction. Friction resists motion.. Friction is a contact force. Friction is caused by microscopic bumps and ridges on surfaces. Like any force, friction causes a change in motion. Causes objects to slow down. Causes objects to change direction. Friction is often needed for movement to occur. Allows tires, shoes, feet, etc., to have traction. Friction is always parallel to the surfaces that rub together. Friction is always in the opposite direction of the motion. The force of friction has the opposite sign from the force of the push or pull. Static friction acts on objects that are not moving. Prevents slipping and keeps objects in place. Requires extra force to be overcome. Kinetic friction acts on moving objects. Acts against motions, slows objects. Types of kinetic friction include: sliding friction (difficult to overcome) and rolling friction (easy to overcome). Fluid friction acts on solid objects as they move through a fluid. Easy to overcome. Fluid friction is affected by different factors than friction between solid surfaces. Shape of an object, surface area of an object, and speed of an object. Air resistance is a type of fluid friction that acts on objects moving through air. Reducing friction can increase an object's speed, make objects easier to move, and reduce wear and tear on objects. Lubricants, ball bearings, aerodynamic designs, and nonstick materials. Increasing friction can provide traction on slippery surfaces, slow objects down, and generate heat. Increase roughness, increase surface area, and increase speed.

Hope this helps!

If =12a andthe distance from each wire to point p is 0.12m, then what is the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on
vaieri [72.5K]

The magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on the top wire is

2×10⁻⁵  N/m

<h3>How can we calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on the top wire ?</h3>

To calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on the top wire, we are using the formula

F= \frac{\mu_0 I_f}{2\pi d}

Here we are given,

\mu_0= magnetic permeability

= 4\pi×10⁻⁷ H m⁻¹

If= 12 A

d= distance from each wire to point.

=0.12m

Now we put the known values in the above equation, we get

F= \frac{\mu_0 I_f}{2\pi d}

Or, F = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times  12}{2\pi \times 0.12}

Or, F= 2×10⁻⁵ N/m.

From the above calculation, we can conclude that the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on the top wire is 2×10⁻⁵ N/m.

Challenge: Determine the speed of the waves at each tension setting (high, medium and low). Explain what measurements you made t
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

high tension: 4.2 × 1.5 = 6.3 cm/s

medium tension: 2.8 ×1.5 = 4.2 cm/s

low tension: 0.8 × 1.5 = 1.2 cm/s

Explanation: Given Settings:

amplitude: 0.75 cm

damping: zero

Using

Speed = frequency ×wavelength

Where

Wavelength = 0.75 × 2 = 1.5 cm

Therefore:

high tension: 4.2 × 1.5 = 6.3 cm/s

medium tension: 2.8 ×1.5 = 4.2 cm/s

low tension: 0.8 × 1.5 = 1.2 cm/s

If the prism is surrounded by a fluid, what is the maximum index of refraction of the fluid that will still cause total internal
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

n₁ > n₂.

prisms are made of glass with refractive index n₂ = 1.50, so the fluid that surrounds the prism must have an index n₁> 1.50

Explanation:

Total internal reflection occurs when the refractive index of the incident medium the light is greater than the medium to which the light is refracted, let's use the refraction equation

                 n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin  θ₂

the incident medium is 1, at the limit point where refraction occurs is when the angle in the refracted medium is 90º, so sin θ₂ = 1

                 n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂

                 sin θ₁ = n₂ / n₁

We mean that this equation is defined only for n₁ > n₂.

In our case, for the total internal reflection to occur, the refractive incidence of the medium must be greater than the index of refraction of the prism.

In general, prisms are made of glass with refractive index n₂ = 1.50, so the fluid that surrounds the prism must have an index n₁> 1.50

The Force Of Gravity Acting On A Childs Mass On Earth Is 490 newtons whats the childs mass
Flauer [41]
Force of gravity on an object is the weight of the object and is given by mass times accerelation due to gravity. The accerelation due to gravity is the accerelation of an object in free fall and is given by 9.8m/s^2. Given that the force of gravity acting on a child's mass on earth is 490 newtns, i.e. F = mg which means that 490 newtons = 9.8 times mass. Therefore, mass of the child is 490 / 9.8 = 50 kg.
