Answer: Tangential Velocity
The tangential velocity is defined as the angular velocity
by the radius
of circular motion. As shown below:
Its name is due to the fact that this linear velocity vector is always tangent to the trajectory and is the distance traveled by a body or object in a circular movement in a period of time.
Answer: Friction
Explanation:
Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object on another surface. For example, when a box is pushed along the floor, the floor exerts a frictional force on the box, "resisting" the motion of the box. This force is due to the contact between the molecules of the box and the molecules of the floor, and it is always directed against the direction of motion of the object (so, if the object is moving forward, friction acts backwards).
The magnitude of the friction force is given by:
where is the coefficient friction, which is a number that depends on the materials of the two surfaces, and N is the normal reaction.
