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

2 answers:

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 mass attached to a 50.0 cm long string starts from rest and is rotated 40 times in one minute before reaching a final angular

ch4aika [34]

To solve this problem it is only necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion description, for this purpose we know by definition that,

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 +\omega_0 t + \theta_0$

Where,

$\theta =$ Angular Displacement

$\alpha =$ Angular Acceleration

$\omega_0 =$ Angular velocity

$\theta_0 =$ Initial angular displacement

For this case we have neither angular velocity nor initial angular displacement, then

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

Re-arrange for $\alpha,$

$\alpha = \frac{2\theta}{t^2}$

Replacing our values,

$\alpha = \frac{2(40rev*\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})}{60^2}$

$\alpha = 0.139rad/s$

Therefore the ANgular acceleration of the mass is $0.139rad/s^2$

Which electromagnetic waves has the highest energy?How do you know?

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Gamma Rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays have the highest energies the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequencies. They have the highest energies because they have the highest frequencies, the higher the frequency the more energy. ( I think, maybe double check with other answers )

Good Luck :)

Answer:

x = 5[km]

Explanation:

We must convert the time from minutes to hours.

$t=30[min]*\frac{1h}{60min}= 0.5[h]\\$

We know that speed is defined as the relationship between space and time.

$v=x/t$

where:

x = space [m]

t = time = 0.5 [h]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now replacing:

$x = 10[\frac{km}{h} ]*0.5[h]\\x=5[km]$

Technician A says that the evacuation process will remove dirt and debris from the refrigerant system. Technician B says that th

GuDViN [60]

Answer: Technician B is right.

Explanation:

Evacuation process is used in refrigeration systems to remove moisture, air and non-profit condensable gases in order to achieve maximum function of the system.

vacuum pump is used to draw the sealed AC system into a vacuum. Evacuation of a refrigerant system also helps to maintain pressure, this is so as pulling a vacuum on the system is simply removing matter (mostly air and nitrogen) from inside the system so that the pressure inside drops below atmospheric pressure.
