Answer:
Friction force always acts tangent to the surface at points of contact. Friction force acts opposite to the direction of motion. There are 2 types of friction: Static friction: If the two surfaces in contact do not move relative to each other, one has static friction.
Answer:
The ball fell 275.625 meters after 7.5 seconds
Explanation:
<u>Free fall
</u>
If an object is left on free air (no friction), it describes an accelerated motion in the vertical direction, powered exclusively by the acceleration of gravity. The formulas needed to compute the different magnitudes involved are
Where 
is the final speed of the object in free fall, assumed positive downwards, t is the time elapsed since the release and y is the vertical distance traveled by the object
The ball was dropped from a cliff. We need to calculate the vertical distance the ball went down in t=7.5 seconds. We'll use the formula
Answer:
a) ω = 9.86 rad/s
b) ac = 194. 4 m/s²
c) minimum coefficient of static friction, µs = 19.8
Explanation:
a) angular speed, ω = 2πf, where f is frequency of revolution
1 rps = 6.283 rad/s, π = 3.142
ω = 2 * 3.14 * 0.25 * 6.28
ω = 9.86 rad/s
b) centripetal acceleration, a = rω²
where r is radius in meters; r = 200 cm or 2 m
a = 2 * 9.86²
a = 194. 4 m/s²
c) µs = frictional force/ normal force
frictional force = centripetal force = ma; where a is centripetal acceleration
normal force = mg; where g = 9.8 m/s²
µs = ma/mg = a/g
µs = 194.4 ms⁻²/9.8 ms⁻²
c) minimum coefficient of static friction, µs = 19.8
