Answer 1

Frictional force is reduced in smooth surfaces but is large in rough surfaces.

What is Force?

Force is defined as an agent which causes a change in the motion or state of an object.

Forces are of two types:

Contact forces and Non-contact forces

Contact forces include frictional force.

Frictional forces refers to the force which acts between two surfaces in contact by opposing the relative motion of one over the other

Frictional force depends on the nature of surfaces in contact where rough surfaces produce greater frictional force than smooth surfaces.

Therefore, frictional force is reduced in smooth surfaces but is large in rough surfaces.

Work is being done when

Answers

Answer:

To express this concept mathematically, the work W is equal to the force f times the distanced, or W = fd. If the force is being exerted at an angle θ to the displacement, the work done is W = fd cos θ.

The SI unit of work is the joule (J). It is defined as the work done by a force of one newton through a distance of one meter.

Explanation:

Work is done when a force is applied to an object through a distance. This means that when a force is applied to an object through a distance, the object's total energy will be affected.

A cross-country runner runs 4 km in 15 minutes. What can you calculate using this information?

Answers

One can calculate speed from the given data. The speed is 4.44m/s.

What is speed?

The speed is the ratio of distance and the time taken to cover that distance.

Given is the distance d =4km =4000m and the time taken t 15 min =15 x60 =900 s

Then the speed will be

s = d/t

s = 4000/900

s= 4.44 m/s

Thus, the speed is calculated as 4.44m/s.

1. What is the angle of inclination of the Earth’s axis?
2. Which hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun?
3. Which hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun?
4. Which hemisphere receives greater amount of sunlight?
5. Why do places that receive direct rays of the Sun have warmer temperature?

Answers

Answer:

What is the angle of inclination of the Earth’s axis?

The earth's axis of rotation is tilted 66.5 degrees with respect to its orbital plane around the sun and its axis of rotation is inclined 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular, with respect to this plane. The tilt of the earth affects the angle between the sun beam and the normal over a surface.

Which hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun?

Earth orbits at an angle, so half the year, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun — this is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The other half of the year, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, creating winter in the north and summer in the south.

Which hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun?

When the Earth's axis is tilted toward the sun for the Northern Hemisphere, the people in the Northern Hemisphere experience summer, while at the same time, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun and the people there experience winter.

Which hemisphere receives greater amount of sunlight?

The Northern Hemisphere receives the maximum intensity of the sun's rays, while the angle of sunlight decreases in the Southern Hemisphere.

Why do places that receive direct rays of the Sun have warmer temperature?

When the sun's rays strike Earth's surface near the equator, the incoming solar radiation is more direct (nearly perpendicular or closer to a 90˚ angle). Therefore, the solar radiation is concentrated over a smaller surface area, causing warmer temperatures.

Answers

A mouse have the same momentum as an elephant when the mouse has a large velocity and the elephant has a small velocity. The correct option is A.

What is momentum?

The momentum is the product of the mass of the object and its velocity.

Mouse has mass very less than the elephant. In order to make their momentum same, the velocity of the mouse must be greater than the elephant.

Mm x Vm = Me x Ve

A mouse have the same momentum as an elephant when the mouse has a large velocity and the elephant has a small velocity.

A circular loop of wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field directed out of the page. Suddenly the magnetic field disappear . What is the direction of the induced current in the loop?

Answers

Hi there!

Counterclockwise.

If a loop of wire is placed in a magnetic field directed out of the page that disappears, that means that the magnetic flux out of the page through the loop has decreased.

The loop will try to oppose this change in the magnetic flux, so an induced current that produces an additional magnetic field out of the page will occur to make up for the decrease in the magnetic flux.

Using the magnetic right-hand rule, the current in the loop would need to be traveling in the counterclockwise direction in order for the produced magnetic field to be directed out of the page inside the loop.

A tuning fork consists of two metal prongs that vibrate at a single fre- quency when struck lightly. What will happen if a vibrating tuning fork is placed near another tuning fork of the same frequency

Answers

Resonance would occur when a vibrating tuning fork is placed near another tuning fork of the same frequency.

What is resonance?

Resonance can be defined as a phenomenon in which a physical object is forced to vibrate due to the vibration of a second object at the same natural frequency of the first object.

This ultimately implies that, resonance is an increase in the amplitude of oscillation that only occurs when the frequency of a periodically applied force is equal to the natural frequency of a physical object such as a tuning fork, on which it's acting.

In conclusion, we can infer and logically deduce that resonance would occur when a vibrating tuning fork is placed near another tuning fork of the same frequency.

In a billiards game, one player hits the cue ball towards another ball. The cue ball has a mass of 0.1kg and hits the other ball with a velocity of 2m/s. If the collision is completely elastic and the cue ball travels with a velocity of 0.8m/s after the collision, what is the mass and velocity of the other ball?​

Answers

Answer:

  3/70 kg ≈ 0.04286 kg

  2.8 m/s

Explanation:

In a perfectly elastic collision, the total momentum of the system is constant, and the difference in velocities changes sign.

We assume the other ball is at rest initially, and that the collision is "head-on." That is, final velocities are in the same direction as the initial velocity of the cue ball. We further assume no energy loss, and that the balls do not rotate.

__

initial momentum

Assuming the ball being hit is initially at rest, it contributes no momentum to the system. The total momentum is ...

  (0.1 kg)(2 m/s) = 0.2 kg·m/s

__

initial velocity difference

If the cue ball has velocity v1 and the hit ball has velocity v2, the initial difference of velocities is ...

  v1 -v2 = 2 m/s -0 m/s = 2 m/s

__

final velocity difference

After the collision, we must have ...

  v1 -v2 = -2 m/s . . . . the velocity difference changes sign

  v2 = v1 +2 m/s = 0.8 m/s +2 m/s

  v2 = 2.8 m/s

The velocity of the other ball is 2.8 m/s after the collision.

__

mass of the other ball

The total momentum after the collision is the same as before, so we must have ...

  m1·v1 +m2·v2 = initial momentum

  (0.1 kg)(0.8 m/s) +(m2)(2.8 m/s) = 0.2 kg·m/s

  m2 = (0.2 kg·m/s -0.08 kg·m/s)/(2.8 m/s) = (0.12/2.8) kg = 3/70 kg

The mass of the other ball is 3/70 ≈ 0.04286 kg.

A force applied to a spring compresses the spring 11 cm, storing a certain amount of elastic potential energy. Then a larger force is applied to compress the spring a total of 66 cm. How does the elastic potential energy stored in the spring after it is compressed 66 cm compare to the elastic potential energy stored in the spring after it was compressed 11 cm

Answers

Let k be the spring constant.

• When the spring is compressed by 11 cm = 0.11 m, it stores

1/2 k (0.11 m)²

of potential energy.

• When it's compressed by 66 cm = 0.66 m, it stores

1/2 k (0.66 m)²

of potential energy.

Then the ratio of these potential energies is

(1/2 k (0.66 m)²) / (1/2 k (0.11 m)²) = 36

which is to say, the spring stores 36 times more energy when it's compressed by 66 cm compared to 11 cm.
