1. Briefly Explain why sliding friction is less than static friction.

Physics

stellarik [79]3 years ago

Explanation:

No surface is perfectly smooth.  Everything has irregularities, like bumps and ridges.  Static friction is the friction between non-moving objects when their surfaces lock together.  When an object is sliding, its surface skips and jumps along the surface of the other object.  Because there's less locking between the surfaces, the sliding friction is less than the static friction.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The spring constant = 9.25 N/m

Explanation:

The equation of an object attached to a spring that is oscillating is

T = 2π√(m/k)

Where T = period of the oscillation, m = mass of the object, k = spring constant.

Making k the subject of the equation,

k = 4π²m/T²......................... Equation 1

Note: Period(T) is the time taken to complete one oscillation

Given: T = t/10 = 9.0/10 = 0.9 s, m = 190 g = 0.19 kg.

Constant:  π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 1.

k = 4(3.14)²(0.19)/0.9²

k = 7.4933/0.81

k = 9.25 N/m

Thus the spring constant = 9.25 N/m

Which of Jafar's statements are correct regarding distance and displacement?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:The distance and magnitude of displacement are sometimes equal." Jafar is correct. The distance traveled and the magnitude of displacement are equal if and only if the path is a straight line in one direction.

A toy rocket is fired vertically into the air from the ground at an initial velocity of 80 feet per second. Find the time it wil
miskamm [114]

Answer: 16.3 seconds

Explanation: Given that the

Initial velocity U = 80 ft/s

Let's first calculate the maximum height reached by using third equation of motion.

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

Where V = final velocity and H = maximum height.

Since the toy is moving against the gravity, g will be negative.

At maximum height, V = 0

0 = 80^2 - 2 × 9.81 × H

6400 = 19.62H

H = 6400/19.62

H = 326.2

Let's us second equation of motion to find time.

H = Ut - 1/2gt^2

Let assume that the ball is dropped from the maximum height. Then,

U = 0. The equation will be reduced to

H = 1/2gt^2

326.2 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t^2

326.2 = 4.905t^2

t^2 = 326.2/4.905

t = sqrt( 66.5 )

t = 8.15 seconds

The time it will take for the rocket to return to ground level will be 2t.

That is, 2 × 8.15 = 16.3 seconds

two electronics students are discussing electrical units. student A says that electrical power is measured in units coulombs, st
Savatey [412]
The statements of both students are incorrect.

-- Electrical power, just like mechanical power, is expressed in units of watts.
-- 'Coulomb' is the unit of electrical charge.
-- '400 k ohms'  means 400,000 ohms of resistance.
-- 'Volt' is the unit of electromotive force (or potential difference).

There are no 'following statements'.

All in all, a very disappointing question.
