Friction is defined as the force that opposes the motion of a solid object over another. There are mainly four types of friction: static friction, sliding friction, rolling friction, and fluid friction.

Answer:

Friction is defined as the force that opposes the motion of a solid object over another. There are mainly four types of friction: static friction, sliding friction, rolling friction, and fluid friction. Friction and normal force are directly proportional to the contacting surfaces and it doesn’t depend on the hardness of the contacting surface. With the increase in relative speeds, the sliding friction reduces whereas fluid friction increases with the increase in the relative speed, also fluid friction is dependent on the viscosity of the fluid.

In sliding motion, each point on the body has only translational or linear motion. But in case of rolling motion, different points have a combination of linear as well as rotational motion.

Static Friction

Sliding Friction

Rolling Friction

Fluid Friction

How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma rays
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

They are the same

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of perpendicular oscillations of electric and magnetic field, which oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). One property of the electromagnetic waves is that they travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, called speed of light:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency; from highest to lowest frequency, we have:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

We see that both visible light and gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, so they both travel in a vacuum at the same speed, the speed of light.

An airplane undergoes the following displacements: First, it flies 40 km in a direction 30° east of north. Next, it flies 56 km
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Distance from start point is 72.5km

Explanation:

The attached Figure shows the plane trajectories from start point (0,0) to (x1,y1) (d1=40km), then going from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2) (d2=56km), then from (x2,y2) to (x3,y3) (d3=100). Taking into account the angles and triangles formed (shown in the Figure), it can be said:

x1=d1*cos(60), y1=d1*sin(60)\\\\ x2=x1 , y2=y1-d2\\\\ x3=x2-d3*cos(30) , y3=y2+d3*sin(30)

Using the Pitagoras theorem, the distance from (x3,y3) to the start point can be calculated as:

d=\sqrt{x3^{2} +y3^{2} }

Replacing the given values in the equations, the distance is calculated.
