How does friction slow things down?

Physics

Friction slows things down because the tiny rough bumps on all surfaces hook on each other and slow down the object and produce heat

Friction slows things down because the force that is created through the interaction between two objects begins to decrease the acceleration and velocity of the object. Therefore, the object begins to slow down.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

t= 1.2 hours

Explanation:

Define first di distance between the points, so

\bar{x}_{canoe}=2*(2+3)=10

\bar{x}_{water}=2*2=4

The distance is

d= \bar{x}_{canoe}- \bar{x}_{water}

d= 10-4 = 6miles

t = \frac{x}{v} = \frac{6}{2+3}

t= 1.2 hours

The surface of the Sun has a temperature of about 5 800 K. If the radius of the Sun is 7 × 108 m, determine the power output of
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

a. 3.95\times10^{26}W

Explanation:

T = temperature of the surface of sun = 5800 K

r = Radius of the Sun = 7 x 10⁸ m

A = Surface area of the Sun

Surface area of the sun is given as

A = 4\pi r^{2} \\A = 4(3.14) (7\times10^{8})^{2}\\A = 6.2\times10^{18} m^{2}

e = Emissivity = 1

\sigma = Stefan's constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ Wm⁻²K⁻⁴

Using Stefan's law, Power output of the sun is given as

P = \sigma e AT^{4} \\P = (5.67\times10^{-8}) (1) (6.2\times10^{18}) (5800)^{4}\\P = 3.95\times10^{26} W

The Force of friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 12N. The weight of the object is 20N. What i
shtirl [24]

Answer: The coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.6

Explanation:

For an object of mass M, the weight is:

W = M*g

where g is the gravitational acceleration: g = 9.8m/s^2

And the friction force between this object and the surface can be written as:

F = W*μ

where μ is the coefficient of friction (kinetic if the object is moving, and static if the object is not moving, usually the static coefficient is larger)

In this case, the weight is:

W = 20N

And the friction force is:

F = 12N

Replacing these values in the equation for the friction force we get:

12N = 20N*μ

(12N/20N) = μ = 0.6

The coefficient of kinetic friction is μ = 0.6
