Answer:

The coefficient of friction does not change.

Explanation:

The reason for this is that the coefficient friction depends only on one variable, which is the nature of the surfaces in contact. Therefore, weight has no effect whatsoever on the coefficient of friction. hence, No change occurs in the coefficient of friction if the weight is changed.

hope it helped ya.

Answer:

Usually the coefficient of friction remains unchanged

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, friction is increased when normal force is increased.

Plus, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force.

What is the mass of a 735-N weight on Earth?
Allisa [31]
W = mg,      Assuming g ≈ 9.8 m/s² on the earth surface.

735 N =  m* 9.8

735/9.8 =  m

75 = m

Mass , m = 75 kg.  B.

While spinning down from 500 rpm to rest, a flywheel does 3.9 kj of work. this flywheel is in the shape of a solid uniform disk
Ksivusya [100]

 

The answer is 4.0 kg since the flywheel comes to rest the kinetic energy of the wheel in motion is spent doing the work. Using the formula KE = (1/2) I w².

Given the following:

I =  the moment of inertia about the axis passing through the center of the wheel; w = angular velocity ; for the solid disk as I = mr² / 2 so KE = (1/4) mr²w². Now initially, the wheel is spinning at 500 rpm so w = 500 * (2*pi / 60) rad / sec = 52.36 rad / sec.

The radius = 1.2 m and KE = 3900 J

3900 J = (1/4) m (1.2)² (52.36)²

m = 3900 J / (0.25) (1.2)² (52.36)²

m = 3.95151 ≈ 4.00 kg

What is the speed of a bobsled who's distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 106m in 26s?
swat32

To find the speed of the bobsled, you divide the distance by time. So, when you divide 106 by 26, you get 4.07. This means the speed of the bobsled is about 4 miles per hour.
