What is the relationship between rolled distance and time taken?

If an object is rolling along a plane horizontal surface with no other forces acting on it, then rolled distance is directly proportional to the time taken.If an object is rolling along a plane horizontal surface with no other forces acting on it, then rolled distance is directly proportional to the time taken.If an object is rolling along a plane horizontal surface with no other forces acting on it, then rolled distance is directly proportional to the time taken.If an object is rolling along a plane horizontal surface with no other forces acting on it, then rolled distance is directly proportional to the time taken.


Is it true that if you slide a bag of groceries along a countertop you must overcome rolling friction?

Rolling friction results from momentary attractions between a rolling object and the surface it is rolling on, so as long as the same surface of the bag is always facing the surface, as is usually true for sliding, there is no rolling friction to consider.However, for sliding, there are two different values for friction: the static value, which is how much force must be applied to a resting object to start moving it across a surface; and the dynamic value, which is how much force must be applied to a moving object to make it keep moving with the same velocity.


Why is sliding friction less than static friction?

Because when an object is sliding on the other the molecules donnot get time to inter lock properly


What does a baseball rolling along the floor have?

A baseball rolling along the floor has inertia. The amount of inertia depends on the mass of the object. The greater the mass or weight, the greater the inertia.


How do you play crazy bones?

you play crazybones by setting them up and rolling them along a surface


What instrument measures the force of an object pulled along a surface?

A force-meter measures the force of an object pulled along a surface.


Did Aristotle thinks that a force on earth keeps a ball rolling along a smooth surface?

YES


Why an object that moves along the surface slowdown and stop?

friction


What is the difference between rolling and rotation?

When an object rolls the center of gravity (or of geometry - or both depending on the shape of the object) translates (moves) along a path and there is a point of contact with a surface on the perimeter of the object, rotation (angular change) does occur too.During rotation the center of gravity could be motionless and there is probably no point of contact with any surface; the movement is purely angular.


What is the name to measure the force to move an object along a surface?

Force - Meter


When you walk along a foor what pushes you along?

Friction - the force that makes it difficult for one object to slide along the surface of another


Definition of friction rolling friction sliding friction and fluid friction make it simple.?

Rolling Friction is caused by a rolling object such as a wheel when rolling over a surface. Sliding friction is cause by the brishing of an object along with the medium that it is sliding on. This can be visualize by sliding down a hill with a sled in the snow. Fluid friction, by fluid we are alluding to any substance that flows. Therefore air and water for both examples are fluid. When swimming or when is a bird is flying fluid friction is being acted upon them Good luck Stephane E. Fouche
