Frictional force

Explanation:

Frictional force is a force that opposes the motion between two surfaces that are in contact with one another.

Frictional force opposes motion and it is directed opposite the direction of motion.

There is also frictional force between liquids too.

Enough force must be supplied in order to overcome this frictional force so as to make a body move.
In humans, motion wouldn't be possible without the frictional force.

After an ice storm, ice falls from one of the top floors of a 65-story building. The ice falls freely under the influence of gra

adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is a) The kinetic energy of the ice increases by equal amounts for equal distances.

Explanation:

The law of conservation states that the energy cannot be created nor be destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.Before the ice even starts falling we already know that it possesses energy in the form of potential energy given by P=mgh where m is the mass of the ice , g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the ice above the ground whatever that may be, since a number is not given here.As the ice falls the energy is converted from potential energy to kinetic energy. We notice one thing about the equation for the potential energy P , which is that it is not only directly proportional to h but also is linear in h as well(which is the main reason why a) is correct) which means that if the ice drops by 1 meter the potential energy it will have lost would be ΔPE=mgΔh=-mg, where Δh is the change in its height which is 1 meter here.And according to the principle of conservation of energy this energy must be converted to kinetic energy so the ΔKE=-ΔPE=mg, and this process repeats and for each meter it falls, it picks up the same amount of kinetic energy equaling mg(which is the same as the loss in PE per each meter of fall). So a 2 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 2mg, a 3 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 3mg. gain in kinetic energy only depends on the drop in height, which is true irrespective of where the ice might happen to be in its journey close to the top or the bottom. So the drop in height of lets say x at any point in the journey will result in the same increase in KE = ΔKE = mgx. Which proves part a) to be correct.

At a meeting of physics teacher in Montana, the teachers were asked to calculate where a flour sack would land if dropped from a

Harlamova29_29 [7]

At a distance of 469.2 m from the original point below the airplane.

Explanation:

First of all, we have to calculate the time it takes for the sack to reach the ground.

To do so, we just analyze its vertical motion, which is a free-fall motion, so we can use the suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where, taking downward as positive direction:

s = 300 m is the vertical displacement

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

t is the time

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for t, we find the it takes for the sack to reach the ground:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(300)}{9.8}}=7.82 s$

Now we analyze the horizontal motion. The horizontal velocity of the pack is constant (since there are no forces along the horizontal direction) and equal to the initial speed of the airplane, so:

$v_x = 60 m/s$

We also know the total time of flight,

t = 7.82 s

Therefore, we can find the horizontal distance travelled by the sack:

$d=v_x t = (60)(7.82)=469.2 m$

So, the sack will land 469.2 m from the original point below the airplane.

As shown above an adhesive has been applied to contacting faces of two blocks so that the blocks interact with an adhesive force

rusak2 [61]

The magnitude of the adhesive force allows the top block to remain

attached to the bottom when the blocks and the wire are balanced.

The option that must be true is; $\mathbf{W_{bottom} = F_{adhesion}}$

Reason:

The tension exerted by the wire attached to the top block = T

Magnitude of the adhesive = $F_{adhesion}$

Weight of the top block = $W_{top}$

Weight of the bottom block = $W_{bottom}$

Given that with the exertion of the tension, the two blocks remain at rest, we have;

T = $W_{top}$ + $W_{bottom}$

The adhesive causes the bottom block to remain attached to the top block, we have;

Therefore, the magnitude of the adhesive force adds the bottom weight, to the top, weight, which gives;

The magnitude of the adhesive force = The weight of the bottom block

Therefore;

$W_{bottom}$ = $F_{adhesion}$

2 ways in which the effects of friction can be minimised in the experiment

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Friction can be minimized by using lubricants like oil and grease and by using ball bearing between machine parts. A substance that is introduced between two surfaces in contact, to reduce friction, is called a lubricant. Fluid friction can be minimized by giving suitable shapes to the objects moving in the fluids.
