If you increase the weight of an object, the frictional force increases but the coefficient does not change why

Physics
1 answer:
aleksandr82 [10.1K]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, we expect (in theory) an increase in friction when the normal force is increased.

One more thing, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force

66. Calculate the displacement and velocity at times of (a) 0.500 s, (b) 1.00 s, (c) 1.50 s, and (d) 2.00 s for a ball thrown st
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) t=1s

y = 10.1m

v=5.2m/s

b) t=1.5s

y =11.475 m

v=0.3m/s

c) t=2s

y =10.4 m

v=-4.6m/s  (The minus sign (-) indicates that the ball is already going down)

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

We apply the free fall formula for position (y) and speed (v) at any time (t).

As gravity opposes movement the sign in the equations is negative.:  

y = vi*t - ½ g*t2 Equation 1

v=vit-g*t  Equation 2

y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t  

vi: Initial speed

g= acceleration due to gravity

v= Speed the ball moves at time t  

Known information

We know the following data:

Vi=15 m / s

g =9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

t=1s ,1.5s,2s

Development of problem

We replace t in the equations (1) and (2)  

a) t=1s

y = 15*1 - ½ 9.8*1^{2}=15-4.9=10.1m

v=15-9.8*1 =15-9.8 =5.2m/s

b) t=1.5s

y = 15*1.5 - ½ 9.8*1.5^{2}=22.5-11.025=11.475 m

v=15-9.8*1.5 =15-14.7=0.3m/s

c) t=2s

y = 15*2 - ½ 9.8*2^{2}= 30-19.6=10.4 m

v=15-9.8*2 =15-19.6=-4.6m/s  (The minus sign (-) indicates that the ball is already going down)
