Why did friction make it difficult to discover newtons first law of motion

Friction made it difficult because an object in motion may not always stay in motion due to the friction caused by its movement. For instance, if you roll a ball down a straight platform, it will not go on forever. The friction of the platform and the ball with eventually slow it down and stop it.

Hope this helps!!

Because Static Friction and Inertia can be confused, because mass defines how much inertia a body has, that is, the difficulty of putting some acceleration in it. And it's basically the same with friction. Static friction says that, for example, for you to pull a table with your hands, you need to put force (obviously), as measured by Newtons. From the Newton that the table start to accelerate, then there is the static friction.

For example:

To speed up the table, you put five Newtons, and the table does not move. Put ten, still not moving. It puts 11, and it begins to move (accelerate). So the static friction force is 10 Newtons.

Answer:

(C) Contact

Explanation:

Radiation Poisoning is a horrific disease that is transmitted in many ways. After a nuclear accident radiation is released into the atmosphere becoming airborne and affecting everyone that breathes it in. It is also transmitted in droplets from acid rainfall. Once the gamma radiation penetrates the body of a person it can contaminate other people by having skin to skin contact with the person that is contaminated. Therefore it can be prevented by having precaution of direct contact with anyone contaminated.

the north end to the south end.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Magnetic field lines from a bar magnet form lines that are closed. The direction of magnetic field is taken to be outward from the North pole of the magnet and in to the South pole of the magnet.
A magnetic field refers to the area surrounding a magnet where a force is exerted on certain objects. These lines are spread out of the north end of the magnet.
The magnetic field lines resemble a bubble.
