Unlike friction, gravity relies on a natural source. Gravity happens naturally, but friction happens when a force that opposes motion between any surfaces that are touching.

Answer:

Friction is when a force is applied or done by weight dragging onto something.

Explanation:

Gravity is when an object is getting pulled toward the center of what is attracting it. And applied force is when someone/sommething is applying force.

The weightlifter's internal store of energy decreased when he lifted the bar.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat.

Explanation:

The energy returns to the weightlifter's muscles, where it is dissipated as heat. As long as the weightlifter controls the weight's descent, their muscles are acting as an overdamped shock absorber, as if the weight were sitting on a piston containing very thick fluid, slowly compressing it downward (and slightly heating up the fluid in the process). Since muscles are complicated biological systems and not simple pistons, they require metabolic energy to maintain tension throughout the controlled descent, so the weightlifter feels like they're putting energy into the weight, even though the weight's gravitational potential energy is being converted into heat within the lifter's muscles.

An occupant of a car has a chance of surviving a crash if the deceleration during the crash is not more then 30 g. Calculate the
sweet [91]

Answer:

20,850 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using second Newton's Law:

F=ma

where

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 70 kg is the mass

a=-30 g=-30 (9.8 m/s^2)=-294 m/s^2 is the acceleration (which is negative, because it is a deceleration)

So, we can use the equation above to find the force:

F=(70 kg)(-294 m/s^2)=-20580 N

and the negative sign simply means that the force is in the opposite direction to the motion.

3 An un calibrated mercury in glass thermometer immersed in melting ice. The length of the mercury thread is 25 mm when the ther
sammy [17]

Answer:

25 mm = 0 deg C

200 mm = 100 deg C

200 - 25 = 175 = change in thread per 100 deg C

95 - 25 = 70 mm - change in thread from 0 deg C

70 / 175 * 100 = 40 deg C    final temperature at 95 mm
