increasing the mass of the object that is moving can increase friction Aranda
2 How to reduce friction?
ANSWER
Use of lubricants in machines pulishing
uneven surfaces use of ball bearing in rotating machines and shafts and streamlining the bodies of cars or airplane boats and ships to lessen fluid friction can reduce friction Aranda
3Explain the difference
between mass and weight. ANSWER Mass is the amount of matter in an object while weight is the force of grant acting on what mass weight depends on both mass and acceleration due to gravity Aranda
4 how does friction effect motion?
ANSWER
Friction acs in the opposite direction
to the motion or the applied force slowing down or stopping an moving object Aranda
5What is the acceleration
due to gravity on earth ANSWER
The acceleration due to
gravity on earth is approximately 9.8 meter per second squared De guia
1What is friction and why
does it occur ANSWER
Friction is a force that resists the
movement of two surfaces in contact it occurs due to the irregularities or roughness of the surfaces 2 how does static friction differ from kinetic friction ANSWER
Static friction prevents the
initiation of motion while kinetic friction acts against moving objects De guia
3 what role do lubricants play
in reducing friction ANSWER
Lubricants reduce friction by
creating a smooth layer between surfaces minimizing the resistance to motion De guia 4.define gravity and explain its effect on objects on earth ANSWER
Gravity is the force of
attraction between two masses on earth it gives weight to objects by causing them to accelerate towards De guia
5 what determines the weight
of an object according to the passage ANSWER
The weight of an object is
determined by both its mass and the strength of the gravitational field according to the passage Quijano
1 what is friction ANSWER
Friction is a force that resists
two relative motion pr ten dency of such motion of two surfaces in contact Quijano
2 what causes friction
ANSWER
Friction is caused by the
irregularities or roughness or surface in contact Quijano
3what is the purpose of
lubricants in reducing friction ANSWER
Lubricants like oil or grease
are used to reduce friction by creating a smooth layer between surfaces Quijano
4 what is gravity ANSWER
Gravity is the force of
attraction between to masses on earth it is what gives weight to physical object Quijano 5why do astronauts feel weightless in space ANSWER
Astronauts feel weightless in space
because they are in a state of constant free fall towards the earth experiencing the effect of gravity but with out a solid surface to support them
