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

Physics
1 answer:
IceJOKER [234]3 years ago
6 0

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.

The force exerted on the tires of a car that directly accelerate it along a road is exerted by the
azamat

The force exerted on the tires of a car that directly accelerate it along a road is exerted by the road friction.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration of an object.

Friction is defined as the force that resists the movement of an object over another.

Therefore, the force exerted on the tires of a car that directly accelerate it along a road is exerted by the road friction.

Suppose a 4.0-kg projectile is launched vertically with a speed of 8.0 m/s. What is the maximum height the projectile reaches?
eduard

Answer:

h = 3.3 m (Look at the explanation below, please)

Explanation:

This question has to do with kinetic and potential energy. At the beginning (time of launch), there is no potential energy- we assume it starts from the ground. There, is, however, kinetic energy

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Plug in the numbers = \frac{1}{2}(4.0)(8^{2})

Solve = 2(64) = 128 J

Now, since we know that the mechanical energy of a system always remains constant in the absence of outside forces (there is no outside force here), we can deduce that the kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to the potential energy at the top. Look at the diagram I have attached.

Potential energy = mgh = (4.0)(9.8)(h) = 39.2(h)

Kinetic energy = Potential Energy

128 J = 39.2h

h = 3.26 m

h= 3.3 m (because of significant figures)

Mary takes 6.0 seconds to run up a flight of stairs that is 102 meters long. If Mary's weight is 87 newtons, what power has Mary
fredd [130]

Answer: 1479watts

Explanation:

Power is defined as the energy expended or work done in a specific time.

Mathematically,

Power = Workdone/time taken

Since work done is force × distance

Power = force × distance/time

Force = Mary's weight = 87N

Distance = height of the flight = 102meters

Time = 6.0seconds

Substituting in the formula we have;

Power = 87 × 102/6

Power = 1,479watts

Note that the time must be in seconds before usage. If its given in minutes, you will have to convert to seconds
