What is friction ??? ​

Physics

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.

A block, M1=10kg, slides down a smooth, curved incline of height 5m. It collides elastically with another block, M2=5kg, which i
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

2.86 m

Explanation:

Given:

M₁ = 10 kg

M₂ = 5 kg

\mu_k = 0.5

height, h = 5 m

distance traveled, s = 2 m

spring constant, k = 250 N/m

now,

the initial velocity of the first block as it approaches the second block

u₁ = √(2 × g × h)

or

u₁ = √(2 × 9.8 × 5)

or

u₁ = 9.89 m/s

let the velocity of second ball be v₂

now from the conservation of momentum, we have

M₁ × u₁ = M₂ × v₂

on substituting the values, we get

10 × 9.89 = 5 × v₂

or

v₂ = 19.79 m/s

now,

let the velocity of mass 2 when it reaches the spring be v₃

from the work energy theorem,  we have

Work done by the friction force = change in kinetic energy of the mass 2

or

0.5\times5\times9.8\times2 = \frac{1}{2}\times5\times( v_3^2-19.79^2)

or

v₃ = 20.27 m/s

now, let the spring is compressed by the distance 'x'

therefore, from the conservation of energy

we have

Energy of the spring =  Kinetic energy of the mass 2

or

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_3^2

on substituting the values, we get

\frac{1}{2}\times250\times x^2=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times20.27^2

or

x = 2.86 m

a mass on a spring vibrates in simple harmonic motion at an amplitude of 8.0 cm. if the mass of the object is 0.20kg and the spr
Reil [10]

Answer:

4.06 Hz

Explanation:

For simple harmonic motion, frequency is given by

f=\frac {1}{2\pi}\times \sqrt{\frac {k}{m}} where k is spring constant and m is the mass of the object.

Substituting 0.2 Kg for mass and 130 N/m for k then

f=\frac {1}{2\pi}\times \sqrt{\frac {130}{0.2}}=4.057670803\\f\approx 4.06 Hz

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts

Explanation:

The formula for power is P= dhrg

Where P = Power in watts

d = density of water (1000 kg/m^3)

h = height in meters

r = flow rate in cubic meters per second,

g = acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s^2,

Plugging in the known values,

we get

P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 80 m * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 80000 kg/m^2 * 175 m^3/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 14000000 kg m/s * 9.8 m/s^2

P = 137200000 kg m^2/s^3

P = 137200000 watts or 137200 kilowatts

The above figure assumes 100% efficiency which is impossible. A good efficiency would be 90% so the actual power available would be close to 0.90 * 137200 = 123480 kilowatts
