What the heck is friction

Physics
1 answer:
Anuta_ua [19.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Friction is a force that makes an object slow down. Not speed up, cause it to move, or occurs in a vacuum. Friction is often caused by the surface an object is moving on.

Tju [1.3M]

m = mass of the person = 82 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity acting on the person = 9.8 m/s²

F = normal force by the surface on the person

f = kinetic frictional force acting on the person by the surface

μ = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.45

The normal force by the surface in upward direction balances the weight of the person in down direction , hence

F = mg                                          eq-1

kinetic frictional force on the person acting is given as

f = μ F

using eq-1

f = μ mg

inserting the values

f = (0.45) (82) (9.8)

f = 361.6 N

antsy andy tries to push his 6kg desk away from him and finds that it takes him 12 N of force to start the desk from rest and 8
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

static coefficient = 0,203 & kinetic coefficient = 0,14

Explanation:

There are two (2) conditions, when the desk is about to move and when the desk is moving. In the attachements you can see the two free body diagram for each condition.

In the first condition, there is no movement and the force is 12 N, in the image we can see the total forces are equal to 0 and by the definition of the friction force we can get the static friction coefficient.

In the second condition there is movement in the direction of the force which is equal to 8 N, again by the definition of the friction force we can get the kinetic friction coefficient. Since the desk is moving with constant velocity there is not acceleration.

A projectile enters a resisting medium at x = 0 with an initial velocity v0 = 910 ft/s and travels 5 in. before coming to rest.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

a = - 1.987 × 10⁶ ft/s²

t = 6.84 × 10⁻⁴ s

Explanation:

v₀ = 910 ft/s

x = 5 in.

relation v = v₀ - k x

v = 0 as body comes to rest

0 = 900 - 5k/12

k = 2184 s⁻¹

acceleration

\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = -k\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

where

(A) a = -k × v

 at v= 910 ft/s

     a = - 1.987 × 10⁶ ft/s²

(B)  at x = 3.9 in.

v = 910 - 3.9(2184)/12

v = 200.2 m/s

\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = -k\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{dv}{v} = -kdt

\int\limits^{200.2}_{900} {\frac{1}{v} }dv = -k\int\limits^t_0 dt

ln(200.2)-ln(900) = -kt

t = 6.84 × 10⁻⁴ s
