In order to change the frictional force between two solid surfaces, it can be changed by shorter distances and by the amount of weight it has or the amount of force that is pushing that object to go however distance it can.
Newtons second law says that the acceleration of an object (produced by a net force) is directly proportional to that magnitude of the net force. E.g. F = ma
where F is the net force of an object, m is mass and a is acceleration.
For example, if an object had a large mass, there would have to be more force in order to move it than if it was lighter.
In a linear motion, if you pushed two objects, one slightly larger than the other, with the same force, the acceleration of the smaller object would be bigger than the larger one. So the motion (change in position over time), of the larger object would be seen as lesser than the smaller one (in a situation where both forces are equal).
Answer:
420m
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Time = 5minutes
Average speed = 1.4m/s
Unknown:
Distance covered = ?
Solution:
Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.
Mathematically;
Speed =
Distance = speed x time
Insert the parameters and solve;
Convert the time to seconds;
1 minute = 60s
5 minute = 5 x 60 = 300s
So,
Insert the parameters and find the distance;
Distance = 300 x 1.4 = 420m
