The three examples in which friction helps us or makes things easier in our daily life are :

(a) Friction helps us to walk. if there were no friction, we wouldn't be able to push earth backwards by our feet . Thus we will not get the reaction force from earth which is necessary for walking.

(b) Conveyor belts will not work if there is no friction. Friction provides a grip for the conveyor belts to transfer motion from one part of a machine to another.

(c) Cars, buses and all locomotives will not be able to stop once they are set in motion if the friction was absent. friction provides a braking forces for these vehicles to stop.

A free electron is moving with a velocity of 3 × 105 m/s. It strikes a stationary electron in a head-on elastic collision. The m
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

After the colision, the stationary electron's momentum is given as:

P = 2.7328 x 10^(-25) kg m/s

The direction of momentum is the same as the direction of velocity of the electron.

Explanation:

In an Isolated system, when an object moving at some velocity v collides head on with a stationary object of equal mass. There velocities are exchanged.

This means that the first electron will become stationary and the electron which was stationary initially will start moving at a velocity of 3*10^(5)m/s in the same direction as the first electron.

Post collision momentum of the stationary electron:

V = 3 x 10^5 m/s

m = 9.1093 x 10^(-31) kg

Momentum = P = mV =  9.1093 x 10^(-31) x 3 x 10^5

P = 2.7328 x 10^(-25) kg m/s

The direction of momentum is the same as the velocity of the electron.

How are the 1st and 2nd Laws of Motion connected?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Newton's First Law states that an object with no net force acting on it remains at rest or moves with constant velocity in a straight line. Newton's Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Basile [38]

Answer:

The biceps muscle is located at the front of your upper arm. The muscle has two tendons that attach it to the bones of the scapula bone of the shoulder and one tendon that attaches to the radius bone at the elbow. The tendons are tough strips of tissue that connect muscles to bones and allow us to move our limbs.

A 2000 kg streetcar parked in a lot has a larger momentum than a 1000 kg car going 25 meters per second on the highway.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Other than the fact that momentum is a "vector" quantity I wouldn't know.

If the car had a momentum opposite to the chosen positive direction then its total momentum would be negative.
