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.

Multiple-Concept Example 9 reviews the concepts that are important in this problem. A drag racer, starting from rest, speeds up
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

V = 90.51 m/s

Explanation:

From the given information:

Initial speed (u) = 0

Distance (S) = 391 m

Acceleration (a) = 18.9 m/s²

Using the relation for the equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

v² - 0² = 2as

v² = 2as

v = \sqrt{2as}

v = \sqrt{2*18.9*391}

v = 121.57 m/s

After the parachute opens:

The initial velocity = 121.57 m/ss

Distance S' = 332 m

Acceleration = -9.92 m/s²

How fast is the racer can be determined by using the relation:

V=  \sqrt{v^2 + 2aS'}

V = \sqrt{121.57^2+ 2 (-9.92)(332)}

V = 90.51 m/s

What was the result of the Mexican army's victory over the Texan garrison at the Alamo?
sasho [114]

The result of the Mexican victory was that fallen defenders became heroes to the cause of Texan independence.<span> The Battle of the Alamo took place between February 23 and March 6, 1836 and became the central episode of the Texas Revolution . After this thirteen-day battle, the Mexican troops of General President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna began an attack on San Antonio de Bexar, the current San Antonio in Texas. The Battle of the Alamo fought the army of Mexico against a group of Texan rebels, mostly American settlers. More than four thousand men from Santa Ana stood in front of the Alamo Fort , the last stronghold of the rebels, which barely reached 187. The Alamo was not a fortress prepared to withstand a siege. It is believed that all the rebels of the Alamo died in the siege, but Santa Anna came to lose up to about 900 men during the days that lasted the fight. However, the worst result for Santa Ana was precisely the resistance that the Texan rebels had in the Alamo, which fostered the fighting spirit of the Texans. A few days later, on March 14, 1836, Texas became independent from Mexico and a month later, Santa Ana was imprisoned.</span>

A wheel in the shape of a flat, heavy, uniform, solid disk is initially at rest at the top of an inclined plane of height 2.00 m
olasank [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

If friction is neglected, the wheel cannot roll and can only slide frictionlessly and will have the same velocity at the bottom of the ramp as if it had been in free fall as it has converted the same amount of potential energy.

mgh = ½mv²

v = √(2gh) = √(2(9.81)(2.00)) = 6.26418... = 6.26 m/s

However if we do not ignore all friction and the wheel rolls without slipping down the slope, the potential energy becomes linear and rotational kinetic energy

mgh = ½mv² + ½Iω²

mgh = ½mv² + ½(½mR²)(v/R)²

2gh = v² + ½v²

2gh = 3v²/2

v = √(4gh/3) =√(4(9.81)(2.00)/3) = 5.11468... = 5.11 m/s

The seismic activity density of a region is the ratio of the number of earthquakes during a given time span to the land area aff
Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.0059

Explanation:

According to the question the seismic activity density is given by

\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{\text{Number of Earthquakes over a given time span}}{\text{The land area affected}}

Here,

Number of Earthquakes over a given time span = 424

The land area affected = 71300 mi²

So,

\text{Seismic activity density}=\frac{424}{71300}\\\Rightarrow \text{Seismic activity density}=0.0059

The seismic activity density is 0.0059
