When attempting to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction, why is it necessary to move the block with constant velocity

Physics

4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to measure the coefficient of friction , we apply external force to move the body . When external force comes in motion , we adjust the external force so that it moves with zero acceleration or uniform velocity . In this case external force becomes equal to kinetic frictional force and then net force becomes zero because

net force = mass x acceleration = m x 0 = 0

Now frictional force = μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction

so F = μ mg where F is external force applied

μ = F / mg

Hence , to make external force equal to frictional force , it is necessary to make acceleration of body zero .

The position of a certain airplane during takeoff is given by x=1/2 *bt2, where b = 2.0 m/s2 and t = 0 corresponds to the instan
Serhud [2]

Answer:

1362000 kgm/s

Explanation:

So the total mass combination of the plane and the people inside it is

M = 35000 + 160*65 = 45400 kg

After 15 seconds at an acceleration of 2 m/s2, the plane speed would be

V = 2*15 = 30 m/s

So the magnitude of the plane 15s after brakes are released is

MV = 45400 * 30 = 1362000 kgm/s

Which property of matter allows convection currents to form
USPshnik [31]
Convection currents are formed due to the density difference between layers of fluid. The heated layers rise up because their density is less than that of the colder layers. Hope this helps!
