How lubricant reduce friction

1 answer:

Lubricant is a type of oil. It smoothes surfaces. Meaning anything rubbing against the other object wont produce enough heat, which is what creates friction. Its an ideal tool to use for a lot of things.

I hope this helps :)

Two electric charges qa = 1. 0 μc and qb = - 2. 0 μc are located 0. 50 m apart. how much work is needed to move the charges apar

melisa1 [442]

The total work done of 0.018 joules is needed to move the charges apart and double the distance between them.

We have two electric charges q(A) = 1μc and q(B) = -2μc kept at a distance 0.5 meter apart.

We have to calculate much work is needed to move the charges apart and double the distance between them.

<h3>What s the formula to calculate the Potential Energy of a system of two charges (say 'q' and 'Q') separated by a distance 'r' ?</h3>

The potential energy of the system of two charges separated by a distance is given by -

$U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o} } \frac{qQ}{r}$

In order to solve this question, it is important to remember the work - energy theorem which states -

"The change in the energy of the body is equal to work done on it"

Hence, using this work -energy theorem in the question given to us we get -

$U_{f} -U_{i} =W_{net}$

In our case -

$U_{f} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o} } \frac{qQ}{2r}\\\\U_{i} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o} } \frac{qQ}{r}\\\\W=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o} } \frac{qQ}{2r} - \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o} } \frac{qQ}{r}\\\\W = \frac{qQ}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}r} (\frac{1}{2} -1)\\\\W = 9\times 10^{9}\times \frac{1 \times 10^{-6} \times 2\times10^{-6} }{0.5} \times \frac{-1}{2}$

W = 0.018 joules

Hence, the total work done should be 0.018 joules.

A skater of mass 40 kg is carrying a box of mass 5 kg. The skater has a speed of 5 m/s with respect to the floor and is gliding

Yuki888 [10]

For the part a) we need only the momentum of the box and we have the data to find it.

Momentum is given by,

$p=mv$

where clearly, p is the momentum, m the mass of the box and v is the velocity.

Substituting,

$p=(5kg)(5m/s)\\p=25kg.m/s$

For part b) we need an analysis of the situation. We understand that the box on a surface that has no friction will continue to rotate at the same speed previously defined. The box can only stop with friction, so,

$p=(5kg)(5m/s)\\p=25kg.m/s$

You take a 3 hour nap on a train traveling 40 miles per hour

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

120 miles

Explanation:

Speed = distance traveled/ time taken.

Distance traveled = speed * time taken

Speed = 40 miles per hour, time = 3 hours.

Distance = 40*3

The train's traveled distance is 120 miles.
