Describe the factors that cause static friction between two surfaces to increase.

Physics
1 answer:
maw [93]3 years ago
4 0

Answer : The static friction depends on two factors

1. Roughness of the surface

2. Force

Explanation : Friction occur when surface is not smooth.

The formula of friction is

F= \mu mg

Static friction depends on the roughness of the surface and force which is trying to push to object along the surface.

Static friction is caused by the attraction between two surfaces that are in contact.  when the surface will rough and the object will heavier then the force will be larger.

A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hai
Korolek [52]

Answer:

b) 900 W

Explanation:

The breaker trips when the current is equal to 20 A. The power (P) is the ddp (V) multiplied by the current. So, for the electric heater, the current is:

P = V*i

1500 = 120*i

i = 12.5 A

So, to become in 20 A, it's needed 7.5 A, which must come from the hairdryer. Its power must be:

P = 120*7.5

P = 900 W

How do you find the speed of an object given its mass and kinetic energy (what is the formula)?
madam [21]
   v  =   √ { 2*(KE) ] / m } ; 

Now, plug in the known values for "KE" ["kinetic energy"] and "m" ["mass"] ; 
        
and solve for "v".

______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________________
The formula is:  KE = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;
_____________________________________
  
"Kinetic energy" = (½) * (mass) * (velocity , "squared")
________________________________________________
Note:  Velocity is similar to speed, in that velocity means "speed and direction";  however, if you "square" a negative number, you will get a "positive"; since:  a "negative" multiplied by a "negative" equals a "positive".
____________________________________________
So, we have the formula:
___________________________________
KE = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;  to solve for "(v)" ; velocity, which is very similar to                                          the "speed"; 
___________________________________________________
we arrange the formula ;
__________________________________________________
(KE) = (½) * (m) * (v²) ;  ↔  (½)*(m)* (v²) = (KE) ; 
___________________________________________________

→ We have:  (½)*(m)* (v²) = (KE)  ; we isolate, "m" (mass) on one side of the equation:
______________________________________________________
   
→ We divide each side of the equation by: "[(½)* (m)]" ; 
___________________________________________________
    
           →   [ (½)*(m)*(v²) ] /  [(½)* (m)]  = (KE) / [(½)* (m)]<span> ;
</span>______________________________________________________
 to get: 
______________________________________________________
                           →   v²     =   (KE) / [(½)* (m)]
                     
                           →   v²     = 2 KE / m
_______________________________________________________
Take the "square root" of each side of the equation ;
_______________________________________________________
                          →  √ (v²)  =  √ { 2*(KE) ] / m }
________________________________________________________

                          →     v  =   √ { 2*(KE) ] / m } ; 

Now, plug in the known values for "KE" ["kinetic energy"] and "m" ["mass"]; 
       
and solve for "v".

Which of the following statements about the impact of biotechnology on the environment is not true?
Vladimir79 [104]

E)  Biotechnology use can lead to an increase in soil erosion and pollution runoff through decreased pesticide use.

Explanation:

Biotechnology use cannot lead to an increase in soil erosion and pollution runoff through decreased pesticide use.

There is no relationship between biotechnology use and increase soil erosion and pollution run off.

Biotechnology involves the application of technology based on living things.
