HELP ASAP! why is rolling friction much smaller than sliding friction? Also give an example.

Answer:

Rolling friction is much smaller than sliding friction because Rolling friction is considerably less than sliding friction as there is no work done against the body that is rolling by the force of friction. For a body to start rolling a small amount of friction is required at the point where it rests on the other surface, else it would slide instead of roll.

Rolling Friction example: Anything with weels (cars,skateboards) or a ball rooling.

Sliding Friction example: Bicycle brakes,skinning your knee walking,writing.

A ranger in a national park is driving at 56 km/h when a deer jumps onto the road 65 m ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction ti

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

t = 1.58 s

Explanation:

given,

Speed of ranger, v = 56 km/h

v = 56 x 0.278 = 15.57 m/s

distance, d = 65 m

deceleration,a = 3 m/s²

reaction time = ?

using stopping distance formula

$d = v. t + \dfrac{v^2}{2a}$

$t = \dfrac{d}{v} -\dfrac{v}{2a}$

t is the reaction time

$t = \dfrac{65}{15.57} -\dfrac{15.57}{2\times 3}$

t = 1.58 s

hence, the reaction time of the ranger is equal to 1.58 s.

Starting from rest, a person runs with a constant acceleration, traveling 40 meters in 10 seconds. What is their final velocity?

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Final velocity v = 8.944 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given distance S = 40 meters

Time t = 10 sec

As it starts from rest so initial velocity u = 0

From second equation of motion $s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$40=0\times 10+\frac{1}{2}a10^2$

$a=0.8944m/sec^2$

Now from first equation of motion $v=u+at$ , here v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time

So $v=u+at=0+0.8944\times 10=8.944m/sec$

Select the correct answer. A ball is thrown straight down from the top of a building at a velocity of 16 ft/s. The building is 4

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The ball takes 5s to reach the ground

Explanation:

in order to solve this problem we use the kinematics equation with gravity as acceleration:

$h=v_0t+1/2*gt^2$

we replace the values

$0=1/2*32t^2+16t-480$

We solve this quadratic equation:

t=5s

t=-6s (this solution has not physical sense)
