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

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

If a 10kg block is at rest on a table and a 1200N force is applied in the eastward direction for 10 seconds, what is the acceler

gavmur [86]

Answer:

a = 120 m/s²

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law in the x direction:

∑Fₓ = m*a Formula (1)

Known data

Where:

∑Fₓ: Algebraic sum of forces in the x direction

F: Force in Newtons (N)

m: mass (kg)

a: acceleration of the block (m/s²)

F = 1200N

m = 10 kg

Problem development

We replace the known data in formula (1)

1200 = 10*a

a = 1200/10

a = 120 m/s²

What is the magnitude of the angular momentum (in kgm2/s) of a 40 g golf ball flying through the air and spinning at 4300 rpm af

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

$L=0.0045\ kg-m^2/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a golf ball, m = 40 g = 0.04 kg

Its angular velocity, $\omega=4300\ rpm=450.29\ rad/s$

The radius of the sphere is 2.5 cm or 0.025 m

We need to find the magnitude of the angular momentum of the ball. It is given by the formula as follows:

$L=I\omega$

Where I is moment of inertia

For sphere, $I=\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2$

$L=\dfrac{2}{5}mr^2\omega\\\\L=\dfrac{2}{5}\times 0.04\times (0.025)^2\times 450.29\\\\L=0.0045\ kg-m^2/s$

So, the magnitude of the angular momentum of the sphere is $0.0045\ kg-m^2/s$ .
