Suppose that you changed the area of the bottom surface of the friction cart without changing its mass, by replacing the Teflon

slab with one that was smaller but thicker. The contact area would shrink, but the normal force would be the same as before. Would this change the friction force on the sliding cart

Answer:

in this case the weight of the vehicle does not change , consequently the friction force should not change

Explanation:

The friction force is a macroscopic manifestation of the interactions of the molecules between the two surfaces, this force in the case of solid is expressed by the relation

          fr = μ N

          W-N= 0

          N = W

as in this case the weight of the vehicle does not change nor does the Normal one, consequently the friction force should not change

the force of a bag of potatoes on a vegetable stand is 22.5 N down. what is the force of the vegetable stand on the bag of potat
natima [27]

As per Newton's III law we can say that

Force applied by object 1 on object 2 is always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction of the force that object 2 apply on object 1.

So we can say it as

F_{12} = -F_{21}

now here above question is based upon the same

if a bag of vegetables applied a force F = 22.5 N of the surface stand the the same surface will apply same magnitude of force in opposite direction on the vegetables bag

So our answer will be F = 22.5 N (upwards).

Which of two factors influence the weight of an object due to gravitational pull?
densk [106]
The weight of an object when calculated by multiplying with the pull of the gravity is dependent on the mass of the object and the value of g. The value of g is constant however is still dependent on the distance of the object from the center of the Earth. Thus, the answers are <em>mass and distance. </em>

The spreading of waves behind an aperture is more for long wavelengths and less for short wavelengths.Less for long wavelengths
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Increase in wavelength of incident wave also increases the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The diffraction occurs when light bends in the same medium. The bending is the result of light waves "squeezing" through small openings or "curving" around sharp edges.

- Moreover, waves diffract best when the size of the diffraction opening (or grting or groove) corresponds to the size of the wavelength. Hence, light diffracts more through small openings than through larger openings.

- The formula for diffraction shows a direct relationship between the angle of diffraction (theta) and wavelength:

                                         d sin (θ) = m λ

Where,

     λ : Wavelength , θ : The spread angle , d : Slit opening or grating

- We can see that the wavelength λ and spread angle θ are related proportionally. So if we increase the wavelength of incident wave we also increase the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.
