What happens to the coefficient of friction when the weight is increased? Why is this?

Physics

sp2606 [1]3 years ago

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 solar made from
Eduardwww [97]

Solar cells are made out of silicon wafers. These are made out of the element silicon, a hard and brittle crystalline solid that is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust after oxygen. If you're at the beach and see shiny black specks in the sand, that's silicon.

What . Slides are placed upside down in a slide projector to correct for the _______ image produced. A. magnified B. inverted C.
Yuri [45]
<span>The correct answer is B. Inverted image. This is because of all the lenses and light refractions and what not. The same things happens with our eyes except our brains fix the inverted image automatically. Since there are no brains in a projector, you have to fix it on your own by putting it in reverse.</span>

A researcher studying the nutritional value of a new candy places a 4.60 g sample of the candy inside a bomb calorimeter and com
blagie [28]

Answer:

4500.5 nutritional calories per gram

Explanation:

Heat lost by the new candy = heat gained by the bomb calorimeter.

Heat gained by the bomb calorimeter = c×ΔT

where c = heat capacity of the calorimeter = 32.20 KJ/K = 32200 J/K

ΔT = change in temperature = 2.69°C = 2.69 K.

Heat gained by the bomb calorimeter = 32200 × 2.69 = 86618 J

Heat lost by the new candy = heat gained by the bomb calorimeter = 86618 J = 20702.2 calories

4.60 g of the new candy lost this amount of calories by undergoing combustion,

The amount of calories per g = 20702.2 calories/4.6 g = 4500.5 calories per gram
