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

Physics

Mrac [35]4 years ago

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.

If a battery is running down, a light bulb in the circuit will become dimmer because when voltage drops
lana [24]
A. There is less current flowing through the bulb.

Ohms law dictates that Electrical voltage = current x resistance. To understand current you would divide voltage by resistance. The less voltage the less current will run through the circuit.

If the distance between us and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity Group of answer choice
Savatey [412]

Answer:

remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

The luminosity of a star refers to the total amount of light radiated by the star per second and it is measured in watts (w).

The apparent brightness of a star is a measure of the rate at which radiated energy from a star reaches an observer on Earth per square meter per second.

The apparent brightness of a star is measured in watts per square meter.

If the distance between us (humans) and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four (4).

Some of the examples of stars are;

- Canopus.

- Sun (closest to the Earth)

- Betelgeuse.

- Antares.

- Vega.
