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.

Suppose you calculated the speed of light in an unknown substance to be 4.00x10^8 m/s. How could you tell if you made an error i
Mice21 [21]

Answer: You could tell if you made an error in your calculations by repeating the steps.

Speed of light is the fastest/maximum in vacuum which is equal to 3 × 10^8 m/s, therefore speed of light through any material equal to 4 × 10^8 m/s is physically and theoretically impossible and therefore incorrect.

Two-out-of-tune flutes play the same note. One produces a tone that has a frequency of 250 Hz, while the other produces 266 Hz.
Andru [333]

Answer:

 x = 259 Hz

Explanation:

given,

frequency of one tuning fork = 250 Hz

frequency of another tuning fork = 266 Hz

when a tuning fork is sounded together beat frequency heard = 9

 let x be the frequency of unknown

 x - 250 = 9 Hz..............(1)

 x = 259 Hz

when a another tuning fork is sounded together beat frequency heard = 7

266 - x  = 7 Hz..............(2)

 x = 259 Hz

now, on solving both the equation the frequency comes out to be 259 Hz.

so, The frequency of the tuning fork is equal to 259 Hz

Why doesn't the principle of mechanical energy conservation hold in situations when frictional forces are present?
vodomira [7]
When you are talking about the Principle of mechanical Energy Conservation, it is really only including the kinetic and potential energy in a total system. When frictional forces are present, although the conservation of energy law is still present, it does not work when it comes to the conservation of mechanical energy as there is another type of energy that is factored in. As friction acts on the object, that transition from potential to kinetic as it slide/falls will be completely different as some of that energy is being transformed into thermal energy. Which breaks the conservation of mechanical energy.

At an amusement park, the wheelie carries passengers in a circular path of radius r = 11.2 m. If the angular speed of the wheeli
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

(a) Tangential velocity will be 38.648 m/sec

(b) Acceleration will be 133.617m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given radius r = 11.2 m

Angular speed \omega =0.550rev/sec=0.550\times 2\pi =3.454rad/sec

(a) We have to find the tangential velocity

We know that tangential velocity is given by  

v_t=\omega r=3.454\times 11.2=38.684m/sec

(b) We know that acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{38.684^2}{11.2}=133.617m/sec^2
