What is kinetic friction ? what causes it ? what does it generate ?

Physics
1 answer:
diamong [38]2 years ago

Answer:

What is kinetic friction?

Kinetic friction is defined as a force that acts between moving surfaces. A body moving on the surface experiences a force in the opposite direction of its movement.

What causes it?

When the mass is not moving, the object experiences static friction. The friction increases as the applied force increases until the block moves. After the block moves, it experiences kinetic friction, which is less than the maximum static friction.

What does it generate?

When surfaces in contact move relative to each other, the friction between the two surfaces converts kinetic energy into thermal energy (that is, it converts work to heat). This property can have dramatic consequences, as illustrated by the use of friction created by rubbing pieces of wood together to start a fire.

A Jeep Rubicon has a mass of 2,630 kg. With a momentum of 55,200 kg m/s. What was the speed, in m/s, of the vehicle?
Annette [7]

Answer:

The speed of the vehicle was 21 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as mass in motion

Momentum depends on the variables mass and velocity

The momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the

velocity of the object

The given is:

→ A Jeep Rubicon has a mass of 2,630 kg

→ With a momentum of 55,200 kg m/s

We need to find the speed of the vehicle

→ The momentum = mass × speed

Substitute the values above in the rule

→ 55,200 = 2,630 × speed

Divide both sides by 2,630

→ speed = 20.99 ≅ 21 m/s

<em>The speed of the vehicle was 21 m/s</em>

What is the frequency, in units of kiloHertz, of an AC waveform that has a period of 12 microseconds?
Alik [6]

Answer:

83.3 kHz

Explanation:

The frequency of a waveform is equal to the reciprocal of its period:

f=\frac{1}{T}

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

In this problem, we have

T=12 \mu s=12\cdot 10^{-6} s

so, the frequency of the waveform is

f=\frac{1}{12 \cdot 10^{-6} s}=8.33\cdot 10^4 Hz

And by converting into kiloHertz,

f=8.33\cdot 10^4 Hz=83.3 kHz

Diamond and graphite are both composed entirely of carbon yet graphite is soft and diamond is one of the hardest substances know
pogonyaev

Explanation:

This difference is because of the difference in arrangement of carbon atoms both graphite and Diamond.

Carbon atoms in graphite are arranged in layered form in an infinite array of layers. These layers are held together by a weaker force of attraction called vander waal's force of attraction such that layer's can slip over one another. Whereas in diamond carbon atoms are arranged tetrahedrally. Each carbon atom is attached to four carbon atoms with a bond angle of 109.5°. It is strong rigid three dimensional structure that results in infinite array atoms. This accounts for hardness of the diamond.

A 200 g hockey puck is launched up a metal ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

71.76 m

Explanation:

We will solve this question using the work energy theorem.

The theorem explains that, the change in kinetic energy of a particle between two points is equal to the workdone in moving the particle from the one point to the other.

ΔK.E = W

In the attached free body diagram for the question, the forces acting on the puck are given.

ΔK.E = (final kinetic energy) - (initial kinetic energy)

Final kinetic energy = 0 J (since the puck comes to a stop)

Initial kinetic energy = (1/2)(m)(v²) = (1/2)(0.2)(26²) = 67.6 J

ΔK.E = 0 - 67.6 = - 67.6 J

W = Workdone between the starting and stopping points = (work done by the force of gravity) + (work done by frictional force)

Work done by the force of gravity = - mgh = - (0.2)(9.8)(h) = - 1.96 h

Workdone by the frictional force = F × d

F = μ N

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.30 (kinetic frictional force is the only frictional force that moves a distance of d, the static frictional force doesn't move any distance, so it does no work)

N = normal reaction of the plane surface on the puck = mg cos 30° = (0.2)(9.8)(0.866) = 1.697 N

F = μ N = 0.3 × 1.697 = 0.509 N

where d = distance along the incline that the puck travels.

d = h/sin 30° = 2h (from trigonometric relations)

Workdone by the frictional force = F × d = 0.509 × 2h = 1.02 h

ΔK.E = W = (work done by the force of gravity) + (work done by frictional force)

- 67.6 = - 1.96h + 1.02h

-0.942h = - 67.6

h = 71.76 m
