Some examples of when friction is helpful are: to help the movement of tires. When you walk, and also, when you erase. :)

A sled of mass m is being pulled horizontally by a constant horizontal force of magnitude F. The coefficient of kinetic friction
rusak2 [61]

I'll bite:

-- Since the sled's mass is 'm', its weight is 'mg'.

-- Since the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk, the force acting opposite to the direction it's sliding is    (μk) times (mg) .

-- If the pulling force is constant 'F', then the horizontal forces on the sled
are 'F' forward and (μk · mg) backwards.

-- The net force on the sled is  (F - μk·mg).
(I regret the visual appearance that's beginning to emerge,
but let's forge onward.)

-- The sled's horizontal acceleration is  (net force) / (mass) = (F - μk·mg) / m.
This could be simplified, but let's not just yet.

-- Starting from rest, the sled moves a distance 's' during time 't'.
We know that  s = 1/2 a t² , and we know what 'a' is.  So we can write

           s = (1/2 t²)  (F - μk·mg) / m    .

Now we have the distance, and the constant force.
The total work is (Force x distance), and the power is (Work / time).
Let's put it together and see how ugly it becomes.  Maybe THEN
it can be simplified.

Work = (Force x distance) =  F x  (1/2 t²)  (F - μk·mg) / m
 
Power = (Work / time) =    <em>F (t/2) (F - μk·mg) / m </em>

Unless I can come up with something a lot simpler, that's the answer.


To simplify and beautify, make the partial fractions out of the
2nd parentheses:
                                   <em> F (t/2) (F/m - μk·m)</em>

I think that's about as far as you can go.  I tried some other presentations,
and didn't find anything that's much simpler.

Five points,ehhh ?

The distance between two charged objects is doubled. What happens to the electrostatic force between the two?a)It will double.b)
zzz [600]

Answer:

d) It will be cut to a fourth of the original force.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between the charged objects is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the separation between the two objects

In this problem, the initial distance is doubled, so

r' = 2r

Therefore, the new electrostatic force will be

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(r')^2}=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(2r)^2}=\frac{1}{4}(k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2})=\frac{1}{4}F

So, the force will be cut to 1/4 of the original value.

A metal ring 4.30 cm in diameter is placed between the north and south poles of large magnets with the plane of its area perpend
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

A)0.00966 N/C

B) counterclockwise direction

Explanation:

We are given;

Diameter of the metal ring; d = 4.3 cm

Radius;r = 2.15 cm = 0.021- m

Initial magnetic field, B = 1.12 T

Rate of decrease of the magnetic field;dB/dt = 0.23 T/s

Now, as a result of change in magnetic field, an emf will be induced in it. Thus, , electric field is induced and given by the formula :

∫E•dr = d/dt∫B.A •dA

This gives;

E(2πr) = dB/dt(πr²)

Gives;. 2E = dB/dt(r)

E = dB/dt × 2r

We are given;

E = 0.23 × 2(0.021)

E = 0.00966 N/C

The magnitude of the electric field induced in the ring has a magnitude of 0.00966 N/C

B) The direction of electric field will be in a counterclock wise direction when viewed by someone on the south pole of the magnet

How do you find the speed of an object given its mass and kinetic energy (what is the formula)?
madam [21]
   v  =   √ { 2*(KE) ] / m } ; 

Now, plug in the known values for "KE" ["kinetic energy"] and "m" ["mass"] ; 
        
and solve for "v".

______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________________
The formula is:  KE = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;
_____________________________________
  
"Kinetic energy" = (½) * (mass) * (velocity , "squared")
________________________________________________
Note:  Velocity is similar to speed, in that velocity means "speed and direction";  however, if you "square" a negative number, you will get a "positive"; since:  a "negative" multiplied by a "negative" equals a "positive".
____________________________________________
So, we have the formula:
___________________________________
KE = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;  to solve for "(v)" ; velocity, which is very similar to                                          the "speed"; 
___________________________________________________
we arrange the formula ;
__________________________________________________
(KE) = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;  ↔  (½)*(m)* (v²) = (KE) ; 
___________________________________________________

→ We have:  (½)*(m)* (v²) = (KE)  ; we isolate, "m" (mass) on one side of the equation:
______________________________________________________
   
→ We divide each side of the equation by: "[(½)* (m)]" ; 
___________________________________________________
    
           →   [ (½)*(m)*(v²) ] /  [(½)* (m)]  = (KE) / [(½)* (m)]<span> ;
</span>______________________________________________________
 to get: 
______________________________________________________
                           →   v²     =   (KE) / [(½)* (m)]
                     
                           →   v²     = 2 KE / m
_______________________________________________________
Take the "square root" of each side of the equation ;
_______________________________________________________
                          →  √ (v²)  =  √ { 2*(KE) ] / m }
________________________________________________________

                          →     v  =   √ { 2*(KE) ] / m } ; 

Now, plug in the known values for "KE" ["kinetic energy"] and "m" ["mass"]; 
       
and solve for "v".
