Answer:

Frictional force is produced when two bodies are rubbed against each other. It is the force that oppose the motion and therefore it stops or slow down a moving body.It depends upon the roughness or smoothness of the surface of the body in contact.Rough surface have more friction that the smooth surface. Similarly, the heavier body produces more friction than a lighter body. Frictional force acts in the opposite direction of the motion of the body.

Many physical quantities are connected by inverse square laws, that is, by power functions of the form f(x)=kx^(-2). In particul
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

  • 4 times

Explanation:

Since the equation for the illumination of an object, i.e. the brightness of the light, is <em>inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source</em>, the form of the function is:

  • f(x) = k.x⁻²

Where x is the distance between the object and the light force, k is the constant of proportionality, and f(x) is the brightness.

Then, if you move halfway to the lamp the new distance is x/2 and the new brightness (call if F) is :

F=k(x/2)^{-2}=\frac{k}{(x/2)^2}= \frac{k}{x^2}. 4=f(x).4

Then, you have found that the light is 4 times as bright as it originally was.

What is the difference between a bar magnet and an electromagnet? (check all that are
lukranit [14]

Answer:

D and A

Explanation:

Hint The basic difference between them is that a bar magnet is a permanent magnet whereas an electromagnet is a temporary magnet. An electromagnet is formed when an electric current is passed through wires wound around soft metalcore. An electromagnet loses its magnetism once the current flow is stopped.

Explain how machines can be useful if the output is always less than the input work
Anni [7]

Because: Some of the work done by the machine is used to overcome the friction created by the use of the machine. ... Work output can never be greater than work input. Machines allow force to be applied over a greater distance, which means that less force will be needed for the same amount of work.

What can increase the gravitational potential energy of a object
love history [14]

Answer:

Increase in mass and height

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object can increase if the mass and height of object is increased.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

It is expressed as:

  Gravitational potential energy = mass x acceleration due gravity x height

Increasing mass and height will cause an increase in gravitational potential energy.
