How does friction slow things down?

2 answers:

8 0

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.

A large grinding wheel in the shape of a solid cylinder of radius 0.330 m is free to rotate on a frictionless, vertical axle. A

Flura [38]

Answer:

The mass of the wheel is 2159.045 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Radius $r = 0.330$

Force $F = 290$ N

Angular acceleration $\alpha = 0.814 \frac{rad}{s^{2} }$

From the formula of torque,

Γ $= I\alpha$ (1)

Γ $= rF$ (2)

$rF = I \alpha$

Find momentum of inertia $I$ from above equation,

$I = \frac{rF}{\alpha }$

$I = \frac{0.330 \times 290}{0.814}$

$I = 117.56$ $Kg. m^{2}$

Find the momentum inertia of disk,

$I = \frac{1}{2} Mr^{2}$

$M = \frac{2I}{r^{2} }$

$M = \frac{2 \times 117.56}{(0.330)^{2} }$

$M = 2159.045$ Kg

Therefore, the mass of the wheel is 2159.045 kg

Six artificial satellites circle a space station at constant speed. The mass m of each satellite, distance L from the space stat

nikklg [1K]

Answers:

a) $T_{2}>T_{5}>T_{1}>T_{3}=T_{6}>T_{4}$

b) $a_{4}>a_{6}>a_{1}>a_{3}>a_{5}>a_{2}$

Explanation:

a) Since we are told the satellites circle the space station at constant speed, we can assume they follow a uniform circular motion and their tangential speeds $V$ are given by:

$V=\omega L=\frac{2\pi}{T} L$ (1)

Where:

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

$L$ is the radius of the orbit of each satellite

$T$ is the period of the orbit of each satellite

Isolating $T$ :

$T=\frac{2 \pi L}{V}$ (2)

Applying this equation to each satellite:

$T_{1}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{1}}=261.79 s$ (3)

$T_{2}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{2}}=1570.79 s$ (4)

$T_{3}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{3}}=196.349 s$ (5)

$T_{4}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{4}}=98.174 s$ (6)

$T_{5}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{5}}=785.398 s$ (7)

$T_{6}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{6}}=196.349 s$ (8)

Ordering this periods from largest to smallest:

$T_{2}>T_{5}>T_{1}>T_{3}=T_{6}>T_{4}$

b) Acceleration $a$ is defined as the variation of velocity in time:

$a=\frac{V}{T}$ (9)

Applying this equation to each satellite:

$a_{1}=\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=0.458 m/s^{2}$ (10)

$a_{2}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}=0.0254 m/s^{2}$ (11)

$a_{3}=\frac{V_{3}}{T_{3}}=0.4074 m/s^{2}$ (12)

$a_{4}=\frac{V_{4}}{T_{4}}=1.629 m/s^{2}$ (13)

$a_{5}=\frac{V_{5}}{T_{5}}=0.101 m/s^{2}$ (14)

$a_{6}=\frac{V_{6}}{T_{6}}=0.814 m/s^{2}$ (15)

Ordering this acceerations from largest to smallest:

$a_{4}>a_{6}>a_{1}>a_{3}>a_{5}>a_{2}$

How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel 3.50 ft in vacuum?

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:3.56 nanosecond

In this case, you are asked the time and given the light distance(3.5ft)
To answer this question you would need to know the velocity of light. Speed of light is <span>299792458m/s. Then the calculation would be:

time= distance/speed
time= 3.5 ft / (</span>299792458m/s) x 0.3048 meter/ 1 ft= 3.56 $10^{-9}$ second or 3.56 nanosecond

Suppose the earth is shaped as a sphere with radius 4,0004,000 miles and suppose it rotates once every 24 hours. How many miles

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

1047 miles

Explanation:

The radius of the Earth is

$r = 4000$ (miles)

So its circumference, which is the total length of the equator, is given by

$L=2\pi r= 2\pi(4000)=25133 mi$

Now we know that the Earth rotates once every 24 hours. So the distance through which the equator moves in one hour is equal to its total length divided by the number of hours, 24:

$L' = \frac{25133 mi}{24h}=1047 mi$
