Should one add static friction and kinetic friction together to find the total friction force?

No. You use whichever applies: if an object is at rest, you use static friction. If it is moving, you use kinetic friction.


What are the two ways to transfer electrical charges?

Friction - charging something by rubbing it against another object Induction - charging something by coming close to charged object, but not touching Conduction - charging something by touching a charged object


What did Rene Descartes add to the Law of Inertia?

Newton's Law of Inertia was discovered in part by Descartes. Newton concluded that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion. Descartes discovered earlier that objects in motion continued in a straight line in motion.


How do unbalanced forces affect an objects motion?

forces push and pull on an object making the object move in the direction of the force. the stronger force would overcome the lesser force, causing the object's motion to go in the direction of the stronger force (newton's 2nd law).alsoif forces are balanced there s no acceleration hence there is no motion.....thus if forces are unbalanced the motion is in the same direction as the resultant force (the greater force acting on an object)When the forces acting on an object are unbalanced, The one with more mass will pull on the other one, causing a change in motion.


Why force is equals to product of mass and acceleration?

It goes to the heart of Newtons laws: an object in motion will tend to stay in motion unless an outside force is applied. Force is just a measurement of how much an object 'wants' to stay in motion. The total energy (velocity and mass) of an object measures the resistance to change an object has. Given a perfect system two cars of the same mass moving at the same speed heading towards each other will collide and stop - they cancel each other out. Force is a way of saying what energy it will take to cancel the motion of an object out. You can use a slower, heavier object to counter the motion OR a faster, lighter object to cancel the motion. F=MV and not F=M+V is because the acceleration is to the whole object (applied all over) you can't add a scalar and a vector (mass is the scalar.) You can however multiply a vector by a scalar.

How friction reduces the efficiency of machines.?

one way to reduce friction between two surfaces is to add oil. oil fills in the gaps between surfaces , and keeps many of the high spots from making contact. because there are fewer contact points between the surfaces, the force of friction is reduced. more of the input work then is converted to output work by the machine.

How does friction change the speed of a moving object?

Friction actually tries to slow objects down. You have to add more force or try having less mass.

What happens when you add an object in boiling water?

This object become warmer, or react with water, or is dissolved.


Balance forces have what affect on an objects motion?

"Balanced forces" means a set of forces that add up to zero.This group of forces acting on a single object have no effect on its motion, because they add up to zero,and their effect is equivalent to zero force on the object.

What happens to the volume if you add more of the object?

it turns up loud and you get in trouble


What are some ways to increasing friction?

Use a surface that has a higher coefficient of static/kinetic friction and/or add more force downwards on the object.


What happens when scientists add heat energy to an object or take heat energy away from an object?

as scientists add heat too an object , the objec begin to pre-heat and began to dissolve .


If you add pressure to an object what happens to its density?

the density will increase because there will be less space
