Difference between friction and gravity​

Physics
1 answer:
diamong [38]2 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Friction

Resistance defines friction. Friction consists of the resistance of one object in relation to another object with which it is in contact. Thus, friction is the force that opposes sliding motion, explains the Cornell Center for Materials Research. An example of friction involves removing a stain from clothing. You place detergent on a stained shirt, then repeatedly slide part of the shirt against the stained section. The friction eliminates the stain from the shirt.

Gravity

Gravity is simply defined as what goes up must come down. Gravity is the natural force exerted between two objects, drawing them toward each other. Therefore, instead of an object such as an apple thrown in the air staying there or floating, it falls down. Weight is extremely important to gravity. Gravity always exerts a force equal to the weight of the object it is acting on. A cup remains on a table because the upward force of the table is equal to the weight of the cup, causing it to stay in place.

Dimas [21]
As science being dynamic many things will change and due to this changes many things and theories will be new to us. the model of the atom is not weak, it is just developing as time progress because in the early times it is not fully understood because of the lack of technology to study, what scientist do is just filling the knowledge gap of the previous studies.

A 56.6-kg crate rests on a level floor at a shipping dock. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.517 and 0.260,
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnitude of frictional force = μ mg

μ is either static or kinetic friction.

To start the crate moving , static friction is calculated .

a ) To start crate moving , force required = μ mg where μ is coefficient of static friction .

force required =.517 x 56.6  x 9.8 = 286.76  N .

b ) to  slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed , force required

= μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic  friction , where μ is kinetic friction

= .26 x 56.6  x 9.8 = 144.21 N .

A car (mass = 1090 kg) is traveling at 30.4 m/s when it collides head-on with a sport utility vehicle (mass = 2880 kg) traveling
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The sport utility vehicle was traveling at V2= 11.5 m/s.

Explanation:

m1= 1090 kg

V1= 30.4 m/s

m2= 2880 kg

V2= ?

m1*V1 = m2*V2

V2= (m1*V1)/m2

V2= 11.5 m/s
