How rolling friction is less than sliding friction?

1 answer:

6 0

Rolling friction is considerably less than sliding friction as there is no work done against the body that is rolling by the force of friction. For a body to start rolling a small amount of friction is required at the point where it rests on the other surface, else it would slide instead of roll.

How will a current change if the resistance of a circuit remains constant while the voltage across the circuit decreases to half

beks73 [17]

Answer:

1. The current will drop to half of its original value.

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using Ohm's law:

$V=RI$

where

V is the voltage across the circuit

R is the resistance of the circuit

I is the current

We can rewrite it as

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

In this problem, we have:

- the resistance of the circuit remains the same: R' = R

- the voltage is decreased to half of its original value: $V'=\frac{V}{2}$

So, the new current will be

$I'=\frac{V'}{R'}=\frac{V/2}{R}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{V}{R}=\frac{I}{2}$

so, the current will drop to half of its original value.

Coulomb measured the deflection of sphere A when spheres A and B had equal charges and were a distance d apart. He then made the

sdas [7]

Answer:

The new distance is d = 0.447 d₀

Explanation:

The electric out is given by Coulomb's Law

F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

This electric force is in balance with tension.

We reduce the charge of sphere B to 1/5 of its initial value ( $q_{B}$ =q₂ = q₂ / 5) than new distance (d = n d₀)

dat

q₁ = $q_{A}$

q₂ = $q_{B}$

r = d₀

In order for the deviation to maintain the electric force it should not change, so we apply the Coulomb equation for the two points

F = k q₁ q₂ / d₀²

F = k q₁ (q₂ / 5) / (n d₀)²

.k q₁ q₂ / d₀² = q₁ q₂ / (5 n² d₀²)

5 n² = 1

n = √ 1/5

n = 0.447

The new distance is

d = 0.447 d₀

A ray of light in glass strikes a water-glass interface at an angle of incidence equal to one-half the critical angle for that i

fomenos

Answer:

Explanation:

There will not be any internal reflection . it will be only refraction

critical angle = θ

Sinθ = 1 / μg

μg = 1.43 / 1.33 =

Sinθ = 1.33 / 1.43

= .93

θ = 68.44

angle of incidence i = 68.44 / 2

= 34.22

Sin i / Sin r = μw = 1.33 / 1.43

= .93

sin 34.22 / sinθ₁ = .93 , θ₁ is angle of refraction.

sinθ₁ = sin 34.22 / .93

= .5623 / .93

= .6047

θ₁ = 37 degree Ans

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 30 kg from a tungsten rod 2.8 m long by 1.5 mm by 2.6 mm. You measure the stretch of the ro

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Young's modulus (Y) = 3.56×10^11 N/m^2

The speed of sound in tungsten = 6166.4 m/s

Explanation:

Young's modulus (Y) = stress/strain

Stress = force/area

Force = mg = 30×9.8 = 294 N

Area = 1.5 × 2.6 = 3.9 mm^2 = 3.9/10^6 = 3.9×10^-6 m^2

Stress = 294/3.9×10^-6 = 7.54×10^7 N/m^2

Strain = extension/length

Extension = 0.000594 m

Length = 2.8 m

Strain = 0.000594/2.8 = 2.12×10^-4

Y = 7.54×10^7/2.12×10^-4 = 3.56×10^11 N/m^2

Y = h × rho × g

rho = 18.7 g/cm^3 = 18.7 g/cm^3 × 1 kg/1000 g × (100 cm/1 m)^3 = 18,700 kg/m^3

h = 3.56×10^11/(18,700×9.8) = 1.94×10^6 m

From the equations of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh =

Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s

v = sqrt (2×9.8×1.94×10^6)

v = 6166.4 m/s

Hi guys can you help me with finding advantages with nuclear power?

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Low-cost energy. Although building nuclear power plants has a high initial cost, it’s relatively cheap to produce energy from them and they have low operating costs.

Reliable. One of the biggest benefits of nuclear energy is that it is a reliable power generation source.

Zero carbon emissions. Nuclear power reactors do not produce any carbon emissions.

Promising future energy supply.
