Frictional force

Explanation:

Frictional force is a force that acts when there is a contact between two different surfaces, and it is due to the collisions between the molecules on the outermost layers of the two surfaces. The direction of the force is parallel to the two surfaces.

There are two types of frictional forces:

- Static frictional force: this force occurs, for instance, when you try to push an object over a surface, but the object does not move yet. In this case, the frictional force is acting against the direction of your push, preventing the object from moving. Assuming the surface is horizontal, its magnitude is given by

$F_s = \mu_s mg$

where

$\mu_s$ is the coefficient of static friction, which depends on the materials of the object and the surface

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

- Kinetic frictional force: this force occurs when you are pushing the object and the object is moving (sliding) along the surface. Again, the frictional force points against the direction of the motion, but this time the object is moving. Assuming the surface is horizontal, its magnitude is given by

$F_k = \mu_k mg$

where

$\mu_k$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction, which depends on the materials of the object and the surface

Generally, $\mu_s \mu_k$ , so the static friction is always stronger than the kinetic friction (that's why it is more difficult to put an object in motion rather than keep it in motion)

answer and explanation;

composition refers to both the types of minerals within a rock and the overall chemical makeup of the rock while texture refers to the size and arrangement of the minerals or grains that make up a rock. both composition and texture can be used to classify rocks, such as igneous rocks. texture describes how the rock became solid or crystallized from liquid, melted rock. composition of a rock describes the minerals that make up a particular rock.

Which of the following correctly describes what happens when an atomic bomb explodes? small pieces of fissionable material are joined and form a body with a mass greater than the critical mass, the relative number of neutrons escaping decreases, and a chain reaction and explosion result. large pieces of fissionable matter are brought together quickly and form a body with a mass smaller than the critical mass, the relative number of escaping neutrons increases, and a chain reaction and explosion result.

Amachinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, at rest, at time t = 0 s. the wheel accelerates uniformly for 10 s and reaches the operating angular velocity of 96 rad/s. the wheel is run at that angular velocity for 40 s and then power is shut off. the wheel slows down uniformly at 1.5 rad/s2 until the wheel stops. in this situation, the time interval of deceleration is closest to:
