Can some one help with this question? "What is the relationships between. The force due to friction and the force due to gravity

? Is it true for all four surfaces? (wood, rubber, carpet, and sandpaper)

Okay, so let's start off with the difference between the force of friction, and the force of gravity.
Friction, is when two things rub against each-other. (Such as tectonic plates.)
Gravity, is something being held down towards the center of the earth.
(They are both caused by forces.)

Let's imagine wood is being rubbed against your hand. It isn't very comfortable, yet it moves evenly over your skin.
Now, let's use rubber. The skin on your hand is moving back and forth, along with the rubber.
Carpet. This is moving over your skin, yet causing some irritation.
With sandpaper. It is moving over your hand slightly like the rubber was, except this is trying to shape your hand, so therefore it is causing irritation.

I hope this helped in some way. May not have been the exact thing you wanted, but this should help give you an idea. (:

Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why then, a heavy object does not fall faster than a ligh
guapka [62]

Answer:

This is because the acceleration of objects due to gravity is independent of the mass of the object and is constant for all objects, therefore, all objects fall with the same speed.

Explanation:

The weight of an object or force of gravity acting on an object on the surface of earth is a product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Mathematically, w = mg

where, m=mass of the object; g = acceleration due to gravity

Also, from newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force on the object ,F = GMm/r²

where G is the gravitational constant; M is mass of Earth; m is mass of object; r is the distance of separation between the object and the center of mass of the earth which is approximately the radius of earth.

Since the weight of an object is equal to the force of gravitation acting on it

W = F

mg = GMm/r²

g = GM/r²

The expression above is that of the relationship between the force of gravity acting on a body on the earth's surface, the weight of that body and the acceleration due to gravity, g.

It can be seen that the acceleration due to gravity g is independent of the mass of the object. Therefore, the acceleration of objects due to gravity is constant for all objects and all objects fall with the same speed.

A proton (mass=1.67x10^-27 kg, charge= 1.60x10^-19 C) moves from point A to point under the influence of an electrostatic force
Tom [10]

Answer:

VB -  VA  =  - 33.4

Explanation:

Generally the workdone in moving the proton is mathematically represented as

     W  =  KE_f  - KE_i

Where KE_i \ and \  KE_f \  are\  the\  initial  \  and  \  final \  kinetic \  energy

So

    KE_i  =  \frac{1}{2} m v_a^2

Here v_a is the velocity at A with value  50 m/s

So

    KE_i  =  \frac{1}{2} (1.67*10^{-27}) * 50^2

    KE_i  = 2.09 *10^{-24} \  J

Also  

     KE_f  =  \frac{1}{2} m v_b^2

Here v_a is the velocity at A with value 80 km/s = 80000 m/s

=>   KE_f  =  \frac{1}{2} (1.67*10^{-27}) * 80000^2

=>   KE_f  = 5.34 *10^{-18} \  J

 So

    W  =   5.34 *10^{-18}  - 2.09 *10^{-24}

     W  =   5.34 *10^{-18}  m/s

Now this workdone is also mathematically represented as

     W =  q *  V

So  

    q *  V =   5.34 *10^{-18}

Here  q =  1.60*10^{-19} C

So

        V =   \frac{5.34 *10^{-18} }{1.60*10^{-19}}

         V =   33.4 \  V

Generally proton movement is in the direction of the electric field it means that  VA>VB

So

    VB -  VA  =  - 33.4

If the Earth were compressed in such a way that its mass remained the same, but the distance around the equator were just one-ha
vovikov84 [41]
If the distance around the equator is reduced by half, then the radius is also reduced by half.

Since the acceleration due to gravity is proportional to 1/(radius²),
the acceleration changes by a factor of 1/(1/2)² = 1/(1/4) = <em>4 </em>.

The acceleration due to gravity ... and also the weight of everything on Earth ...
becomes <em>4 times what it is now</em>.

Darya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the number of slits increases, the intensity of fringes increases.

So, the fringes appear to be more bright.

As we know that the fringe width is inversely proportional to the number of slits, so as the number of slits increases, the fringe width decreases, hence the fringes are narrower, bright and close together.

<h3>What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?</h3>

Newton's second law provides a precise explanation of the modifications that a force can make to a body's motion. According to this, a body's momentum changes at a rate that is equal to the force acting on it over time in both magnitude and direction. A body's momentum is equal to the sum of its mass and velocity. Similar to velocity, momentum has both a magnitude and a direction, making it a vector quantity.

acceleration - rate of change of velocity with time, both in terms of speed and direction. A point or object going straight forward is accelerated when it accelerates or decelerates.

There are three types of accelerated motions :

  • uniform acceleration,
  • non-uniform acceleration
  • average acceleration.

express all the units in their most basic form.

kg, newton = kg*m/s², acceleration =m/s²

\frac{ 30000 kg*m/s^{2} }{ 2000 kg}  = 15m/s^{2}
