Explain why sliding friction is less than stactic friction

Physics
1 answer:
Alik [6]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

here it is...

Explanation:

The friction between the two surfaces is because of the interlocking of the irregularities of the two surfaces. During sliding, contact points do not get enough time to get interlocked properly. Therefore, less friction. ... This explains why sliding friction is less than static friction.

If the Sun suddenly went dark, we would not know it until its light stopped arriving on Earth. How long would that be, in second
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: 500 s

Explanation:

Speed v is defined as a relation between the distance d and time t:

v=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

v=3(10)^{8}m/s is the speed of light in vacuum

d=1.5(10)^{11}m is the distance between the Earth and Sun

t is the time it takes to the light to travel the distance d

Isolating t:

t=\frac{d}{v}

t=\frac{1.5(10)^{11}m}{3(10)^{8}m/s}

Finally:

t=500 s

What is pitch related to in terms of sound? Does it affect the speed? If so, how?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Pitch is the impression the listener gets of the <em>frequency</em> of the sound.

The speed of the sound is <em>not</em> related to its pitch/frequency.  

If the speed and frequency were related, that would be a real problem.  Bands, orchestras, and choirs could not exist !  All the instruments in the orchestra could play a note together, at the same time.  But then the higher instruments ... the flute, trumpet, violins, high guitar strings and high piano keys ... would travel to you fast, and the lower instruments ... the trombone, tuba, double bass, bass drum, low guitar strings and the low piano keys ... would travel to you slow.  They all played the note at the same time, but by the time you heard it, it would be all smeared out ... every instrument arriving at your ear at a different time !

A stone takes 5.4 seconds to fall from the top of a cliff. The cliff is
Allushta [10]

Answer:

143

Explanation:

Using one of the 3 fundamental equations in physics, y=vo*t+1/2gt^2, we can use this equation to find the total distance that was traveled.

Acceleration due to gravity is always 9.8m/s^2 and time is 5.4s, we also have no initial velocity.

Given this, we can plug in the known variables.

y=0t+1/2*9.8*5^2

simplify,

y=4.9*5.4^2

y=4.9*29.16

y=142.884m which we can round up to 143 meters

Final Answer: 143 meters
