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 __________ provides a visual summary of the improvements that a data mining project provides on a binary classification proble

babymother [125]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

A lift chart usually refers to a graphical representation that is mainly used in order to improve the drawbacks of a mining model by making a comparison with any random guess, and also helps in determining the changes that occur in terms of lift scores.

It describes the binary classification of the problems associated with the mining activity. This type of chart is commonly used to differentiate the lift scores for a variety of models, and picking the best one out of all.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

The graph below shows the position of an ant as it crawls over a flat picnic blanket. The total time for the ant to go from the

Mice21 [21]

The average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.

The correct answer is option D.

In the given graph, we can deduce the following;

the total time of the motion, = 1 mins + 45 s = 60 s + 45 s = 105 s

The average speed of the ant is calculated as;

$average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time }$

The total distance from the graph is calculated as follows;

first horizontal distance from 2 cm to 8 cm = 8 - 2 = 6 cm

first upward distance from 3 cm to 5 cm = 5 - 3 = 2 cm

second horizontal distance from 8 cm to 6 cm = 8 - 6 = 2 cm

second upward distance from 5 cm to 12 cm = 12 - 5 = 7 cm

third horizontal distance from 6 cm to 13 cm = 13 - 6 = 7 cm

fourth downward distance from 12 cm to 9 cm = 3 cm

final horizontal distance from 13 cm to 15 cm = 2cm

The total distance = (6 + 2 + 2 + 7 + 7 + 3 + 2) cm = 29 cm

$average \ speed = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time } = \frac{29 \ cm}{105 \ s} = 0.276 \ cm/s$

The average velocity is calculated as the change in displacement per change in time.

The displacement is the shortest distance between the start and end positions.

This shortest distance is the straight line connecting the start and end position. Call this line P

From the end position at x = 15 cm, draw a vertical line from y = 9 cm, to y = 3 cm. The displacement = 9 cm - 3 cm = 6 cm

Also, draw a horizontal line from start at x = 2 cm to x = 15 cm. The displacement = 15 cm - 2 cm = 13 cm

Notice, you have a right triangle, now calculate the length of line P.

↓end

↓

↓ 6cm

↓

start -------------13 cm------------

Use Pythagoras theorem to solve for P.

$P^2 = 6^2 + 13^2\\\\P^2 = 36 + 169\\\\P^2 = 205\\\\P= \sqrt{205} \\\\P = 14.318 \ cm$

The average velocity of the ant is calculated as;

$average \ velocity= \frac{\Delta displacemnt }{total\ time }= \frac{14.318 \ cm}{105 \ s} = 0.136 \ cm/s \\\\$

Thus, the average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.
