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.

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.

The appropriate expression for the calculation of power by relating the angular energy in a given time.

In other words the instantaneous power of an angular accelerating body is the torque times the angular velocity

$P=\tau\omega$

Where

$\tau =$ Torque

$\omega =$ Angular speed

Our values are given by

$\tau = 630Nm$

$\omega = 3200rev/min$

The angular velocity must be transformed into radians per second then

$\omega = 3200rev/min (\frac{2\pi rad}{60s})$

$\omega = 335.103rad/s$

Replacing,

$P=(630)(335.103)$

$P = 211.11*10^3W$

$P = 211.1kW$

The average power delivered by the engine at this rotation rate is 211.1kW

An example of constant velocity

pashok25 [27]

Some examples of constant velocity (or at least almost- constant velocity) motion include (among many others): • A car traveling at constant speed without changing direction. A hockey puck sliding across ice. A space probe that is drifting through interstellar space.
