How can you increase the magnitude of friction between two surfaces ? How can you decrease the magnitude of friction

Physics

The frictional force between two surfaces is given by:
F_f = \mu F_p
where
\mu is the coefficienct of friction
F_p is the force with which one surface is pushed against the other one

Looking at the formula, we see that there are two possible ways to increase the friction:
1) by increasing the coefficient of friction \mu (for instance, by making the surfaces more "rough"
2) by increasing F_p, the force  with which one surface is pushed against the other

Similarly, in order to decrease the friction, the two possible ways are:
1) by reducing the coefficient of friction
2) by reducing the force F_p

All stars go through a lifecycle.

Mira is much bigger than the Sun.

Only very massive stars will go through a supernova stage, causing the outer layer to explode away and the core to collapse in on itself, becoming very dense.

Learning Goal: To be able to calculate work done by a constant force directed at different angles relative to displacement
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Woke done, W = 4156.92 Joules

Explanation:

The work done by the force can be calculated as :

W=F\times s

W=Fs\ cos\theta

\theta is the angle between force and the displacement

It is assumed to find the work done for the given parameters i.e.

Force, F = 30 N

Distance travelled, s = 160 m

Angle between force and displacement, \theta=30

Work done is given by :

W=Fs\ cos\theta

W=30\times 160\ cos(30)

W = 4156.92 Joules

So, the work done by the object is 4156.92 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
