Difference between work done against gravity and friction​

Mark Brainliest please


Friction is a nonconservative force. Therefore work done against friction cannot be stored as potential energy and later converted back to kinetic the way work against gravity can.

Gravity always pulls objects such as a desk, book or person down. Thus, when you jump, gravity causes you to land on the ground. Friction, however, doesn't pull objects down. ... Instead friction occurs when something like a machine or individual pulls a sliding object in the opposite direction of another object.


Friction and gravity exist in every aspect of a person’s life. For example, almost every movement you make, such as walking and running, involves friction. When you throw a ball up, gravity causes the ball to fall down. A person sliding a book across a table creates friction. Nevertheless, differences between gravity and friction also exist. Force affects gravity and friction in different ways.

A tank is full of oil weighing 40 lb/ft^3. The tank is an inverted right circular cone (with the base at the top) with a height
krok68 [10]

Answer:

26945.6 ft⋅lbf

Explanation:

Volume of Right Circular Cone = pi*(radius^2)*(height/3)

Pi*(4)*(5/3) = 20.94 ft^3

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = Density*Volume

Mass = (40)*(20.94)

Mass = 837.6 lb

Work = Force*Height

Force = Mass*Acceleration

Acceleration will be gravitational acceleration

Work = (837.6)*(32.17)*(1)

Work = 26945.6 ft⋅lbf

A ball starts from rest and undergoes uniform acceleration of 2.50m/s^2. What is the velocity of the ball 4s later?
erica [24]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 2.50 m/s²

t = 4 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (2.50 m/s²) (4 s) + 0 m/s

v = 10 m/s
