Frictional force is____of area of contact​

Physics
1 answer:
Elis [28]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The force due to friction is generally independent of the contact area between the two surfaces. This means that even if you have two heavy objects of the same mass, where one is half as long and twice as high as the other one, they still experience the same frictional force when you drag them over the ground.

Explanation:

Independent

Unpolarized light with intensity 370 W/m2 passes first through a polarizing filter with its axis vertical, then through a second
vampirchik [111]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given by Malus regarding the Intensity of light.

From the law of Malus intensity can be defined as

I' = \frac{I_0}{2} cos^2 \theta

Where

\theta =Angle From vertical of the axis of the polarizing filter

I_0 = Intensity of the unpolarized light

The expression for the intensity of the light after passing through the first filter is given by

I = \frac{I_0}{2}

Replacing we have that

I = \frac{370}{2}

I = 185W/m^2

Re-arrange the equation,

I'= \frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta

Re-arrange to find \theta

cos^2\theta = \frac{2I'}{I_0}

cos^2\theta = \frac{2*138}{370}

\theta = cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2*138}{370}})

\theta = 0.5282rad

\theta = 30.27\°

The value of the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter is equal to 30.2°

A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. Use the vertical motio
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

3.25 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. The equation for his motion is as follows :

h=-16t^2+vt+s

Where

s is the height in feet

For the given condition, the equation becomes:

h=-16t^2+50t+7

When it hits the ground, h = 0

i.e.

-16t^2+50t+7=0

It is a quadratic equation, we find the value of t,

t = 3.25 seconds and t = -0.134 s

Neglecting negative value

Hence, for 3.25 seconds the baseball is in the air before it hits the ground.

Why does gravity hold objects on earth?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
 
Gravity is an attractive force that works to pull objects together. If 2 objects are close the gravitational pull will be stronger 
Mass and distance determine gravity. The farther two things are away from each other, the weaker the gravitational forces are, the less mass an object has the less gravitational force it exerts
