How does a smoother surface affect braking distance

Physics

WARRIOR [948]2 years ago

Friction has to do with this.  If you have a smoother surface than another surface, the smoother surface will contain less friction.  Friction is an opposing force against a moving object.  If there is less opposing force towards a moving object, there is less friction.  If you have a smooth road, cars won't break as fast as they would break on bumpy roads, because bumpy roads have more bumps, creating more friction.  I hope that helped.  :D

Tomtit [17]
The scale would need 10 aluminum cubes on one side. Figure out how many paper clips would be needed on the other side to balance this. You have to use more than one aluminum cube because you need to have enough cubes so that you get a whole number mass. 10 cubes gives you a total mass of 27 g for the aluminum.

5.An ice skater pushes against a wall with a force of 59 N. Ignoring friction, if the ice skater has
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

<em>Answer: (A) 0.75 m/s^2</em>

Explanation:

The Second Newton's law states that an object acquires acceleration when an external unbalanced net force is applied to it.

That acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

It can be expressed with the formula:

\displaystyle a=\frac{F_n}{m}

Where

Fn = Net force

m  = mass

The ice skater pushes against a wall with a force of 59 N. The wall returns the force and the skater now has a net force of Fn=59 N that makes him accelerate. Being m=79 kg the mass of the skater, the acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{59}{79}

a = 0.75\ m/s^2

Answer: (A) 0.75 m/s^2
