Difference between solid friction and viscosity is as follows: Viscosity is proportional to the surface area whereas solid friction is independent of area of solid surfaces in contact. Viscous force on the body depends upon its velocity in the viscous media. But, friction does not depend on the velocity of the body.
The amount of work done by two boys who apply 200 N of force in an unsuccessful attempt to move a stalled car is 0.
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation:
</u>
Work done is the measure of work done by someone to push an object from its present position. We can also define work done as the amount of forces needed to move an object from its present position to another position. So the amount of work done is directly proportionate to the product of forces acting on the object and the displacement of the object.
So in this present case, as the two boys have done an unsuccessful attempts to push a stalled car so that means the displacement of the car is zero as there is no change in the position of the car. But they have applied a force of 200 N each. So the amount of work done will be
Thus, the amount of work done by two boys will be zero due to their unsuccessful attempt to move a stalled car.
Answer:
The rate of change of the distance between the helicopter and yourself (in ft/s) after 5 s is ft/ sec
Explanation:
Given:
h(t) = 25 ft/sec
x(t) = 10 ft/ sec
h(5) = 25 ft/sec . 5 = 125 ft
x(5) = 10 ft/sec . 5 = 50 ft
Now we can calculate the distance between the person and the helicopter by using the Pythagorean theorem
Lets find the derivative of distance with respect to time
Substituting the values of h(t) and x(t) and simplifying we get,
= = ft / sec
Answer: The object changed directions
The object sped up
Explanation:
When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.
