Answer:

There is absolutely No relationship between the weight of an object (which is constant) and the frictional force. If a block is sliding on a surface, that surface will be exerting a force on the block. That force can be resolved into a component parallel to the surface (which we call the frictional component), and a component perpendicular to the surface (called the normal component). For many situations, we find experimentally that the frictional component is approximately proportional to the normal component. The frictional component divided by the normal component is defined to be a quantity called the coefficient of kinetic or sliding friction. The coefficient of kinetic friction obviously depends on the nature of the surfaces involved. The normal component on an object can be decreased if you pull in the direction of the normal component (the weight does not change). However pulling this way on the object not only decreases the normal component, but it also decreases the frictional component since they are proportional. This is why it is easier to slide something if you pull up on it while you push it. If you push down, the normal and frictional components increase so it is harder to slide the object. The weight of an object is the downward force exerted by Earth’s gravity on that object, and it does not change no matter how you push or pull on the object.

Consider the following four objects: a hoop, a flat disk, a solid sphere, and a hollow sphere. Each of the objects has mass M an

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The hoop

Explanation:

We need to define the moment of inertia of the different objects, that is,

DISK:

$I_{disk} = \frac{1}{2} mR^2$

HOOP:

$I_{hoop} = mR^2$

SOLID SPHERE:

$I_{ss} = \frac{2}{5}mR^2$

HOLLOW SPHERE

$I_{hs} = \frac{2}{3}mR^2$

If we have the same acceleration for a Torque applied, then

$mR^2>\frac{2}{3}mR^2>\frac{1}{2} mR^2>\frac{2}{5}mR^2$

$I_{hoop}>I_{hs} >I_{disk}>I_{ss}$

The greatest momement of inertia is for the hoop, therefore will require the largest torque to give the same acceleration

What is the difference between velocity and speed??

tatiyna

Velocity is a vector quantity i.e. it has both magnitude and direction
Speed is a scalar quantity i.e. it has only magnitude

Consider an unknown charge that is released from rest at a particular location in an electric field so that it has some initial

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the charge is released at rest in an electric field, it will move along the electric field, going to regions of higher electric potential if it is a negative charge (against the field direction) and towards lower potential regions if it is positive (along the field). This means that the charge will gain kinetic energy, energy that only can come from a decrease in the electric potential energy.

For a positive charge: ΔEp = q*ΔV < 0 (as ΔV < 0)

For a negative charge: ΔEp = (-q) *ΔV < 0 (as ΔV > 0)

A 25 newton force applied on an object moves it 50 meters. The angle between the force and displacement is 40.0 degrees. What is

zvonat [6]

Work done is when a force is exerted to cause a displacement in a certain object.
the equation for work done ;
work done = force applied * displacement of the object
when the force applied is not in the same direction as that of the displacement of the object then the effect of the force is not its whole value. The force is then applied at an angle to that of the displacement of the object, then the resultant force is the force exerted* cos of the angle between force and displacement, in this instance the angle is 40 °.
the new equation is then;
work done = force cos 40° * displacement
after substitution,
work = 25 N * 0.76 * 50 m
= 957.55 J
round it off
= 9.6 *10² J
the correct answer is B

What length of tube would be required to produce a second tone under the same experimental conditions? Explain your answer.

Alisiya [41]

There is an indirect relationship between length and frequency. The longer the length the pipe has, the higher frequency it is. The shorter the length the pipe has, the lower frequency it is.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The four properties of the string that affect its frequency are length, diameter, tension, and density. These properties are described below: When the length of a string is changed, it will vibrate with a different frequency. Shorter strings have higher frequency and therefore higher pitch.

The longer the tube is the lower the pitch of the note that it can emit. When a tube is heated it expands and so is longer! As the gas in the tube gets warmer the molecules move faster, that means they can carry the vibrations of the sound wave more rapidly and so the pitch goes up.
