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

2 answers:

7 0

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.

A charge is divided q1 and (q-q1)what will be the ratio of q/q1 so that force between the two parts placed at a given distance i

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

$q / q_{1} = 2$ , assuming that $q_{1}$ and $(q - q_{1})$ are point charges.

Explanation:

Let $k$ denote the coulomb constant. Let $r$ denote the distance between the two point charges. In this question, neither $k$ and $r$ depend on the value of $q_{1}$ .

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force between $q_{1}$ and $(q - q_{1})$ would be:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k\, q_{1}\, (q - q_{1})}{r^{2}} \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\end{aligned}$ .

Find the first and second derivative of $F$ with respect to $q_{1}$ . (Note that $0 < q_{1} < q$ .)

First derivative:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{d}{d q_{1}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\right] \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, \left[\frac{d}{d q_{1}} [q\, q_{1}] - \frac{d}{d q_{1}}[{q_{1}}^{2}]\right]\\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\end{aligned}$ .

Second derivative:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{d^{2}}{{d q_{1}}^{2}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\right] \\ &= \frac{(-2)\, k}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}$ .

The value of the coulomb constant $k$ is greater than $0$ . Thus, the value of the second derivative of $F$ with respect to $q_{1}$ would be negative for all real $r$ . $F\!$ would be convex over all $q_{1}$ .

By the convexity of $\! F$ with respect to $\! q_{1} \!$ , there would be a unique $q_{1}$ that globally maximizes $F$ . The first derivative of $F\!$ with respect to $q_{1}\!$ should be $0$ for that particular $\! q_{1}$ . In other words:

$\displaystyle \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1}) = 0$ <em>.</em>

$2\, q_{1} = q$ .

$q_{1} = q / 2$ .

In other words, the force between the two point charges would be maximized when the charge is evenly split:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{q}{q_{1}} &= \frac{q}{q / 2} = 2\end{aligned}$ .

Which force acts as an object to move it from rest or a constant straight line motion

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The force is Inertia

Explanation:

The force that acts on an object to move it from rest or a constant straight line motion is known as Inertia.

In physics the above statement is governed by Newton's first law of motion which is also known as Law of Inertia.

This law states that, an object that is at rest will remain at rest and an object that is moving will continue to move in a straight line with constant speed, if and only if the net force acting on the object is zero.

This implies that, A stationary object will remain motionless if no force acts on it while a object with constant velocity will continue moving with constant velocity until a force acts on it (neglecting resistance from air and friction).
