yes. The acceleration rate is a constant, the gravitational constant. Here, the earth's mass is assumed to be a constant.

How does the friction force help people in walking?

Without friction it would be impossible to stand, you would instantly fall down flat. Without friction it would be impossible to crawl. Without friction the only way it would be possible to move would be by using thruster jets, as they do on spaceships.


If we didn't have friction what would we do?

fall downslide around without any controlnot be able move where we wantnuts would fall off screwseverything would fall at the same speed (no air friction)the wind could not push things (no air friction)lubricants would not be neededbrushing teeth would do nothingetc.


When is heat from friction helpful and when is it harmful?

Helpful:1. We use it to brake our cars2. We use it to fly our airplanes. (The friction of air on the wing causes the plane to stay airborne).3. We would slip and fall if there were no friction between the ground and our shoes (demonstrated by an icy sidewalk...).4. We wouldn't be able to turn a doorknob without friction. (Our hand would just slide off of it.)5. We can warm our bodies by friction. (When campers get lost, they can rub their chest, arms and legs to create warmth by friction)Harmful:1. Our cars would get much better gas mileage without tire and air friction.2. There would be no more skinned knees if friction didn't exist. (Like when you are skating or playing football.)3. We wouldn't have to worry about clothes chaffing us in dry weather if there were no friction.4. We could do some pretty amazing dance moves without friction. (The Electric Slide would last forever....)5. Our shoes would last a lot longer without friction.


How would the be world without friction where tires and shoe soles would not grip the ground where knots come undone and nails fall out?

it will be very awful and horrible place to be


What is an example of air friction?

a skydiver falling is affected by air friction or he would fall straight down in an instant

What happens to friction when you try to get rid of it?

Friction will reduce when you try to get rid of it. But understand that it is impossible to eliminate friction. A world without friction would not function. The wheels on a car would spin in place, without going anywhere. If you tried to take a step forward, you would fall over, and then be unable to get up. Friction is what makes the world operate when it comes to transportation. --AN AP PHYSICS STUDENT

How can friction be helpful or harmful?

Both! Here is a list: Helpful: 1. We need it to brake/stop our cars 2. We need it to fly in airplanes. (The friction of air on the wings cause the plane to stay in the air) 3. We would slip and fall if there were no friction between the ground and our shoes 4. We wouldn't be able to turn a doorknob without friction. (Our hand would just slide off of it.) 5. We can warm our bodies by friction. (When people get cold, they can rub thier chest, arms and legs to create warmth by friction) Harmful: 1. Our cars would get much better gas mileage without tire and air friction. 2. There would be no more skinned knees if friction didn't exist. (Like when you are playing soccer or football.) 3. We wouldn't have to worry about clothes chaffing us in dry weather if there were no friction. 4. We could do some pretty amazing dance moves without friction. 5. Our shoes would last a lot longer without friction Hope this helped(:


How do objects fall if air friction is disregarded?

They Free Fall without losing it's/their momentum.


How would be a world where tires and shoe would not grip the ground where knots would come undone and nails fall out?

That sounds kind of like a world without friction.


Would walking around be impossible without rolling friction?

yes you wouldn't even be able to stand up because you would just fall over again Not sure why you have asked about "Rolling Friction"...there are other categories as well. But imagine you were wearing Magnetic Boots on a Ferrous surface. You could walk without "Rolling Friction".

why They would fall with equal speed if there were no friction from the air?

who said there is friction with air there is a friction called viscosity that exist between each layers of air thus the particle with with higher density will fall faster

a skydiver falling is affected by air friction or he would fall straight down in an instant


How does friction affect rock climbers?

Friction affects rock climbers by allowing them to effectively grasp the rocks that they are trying to climb. Without friction, the rock climbers' hands would just slip off the rocks, causing them to inevitably fall to their deaths. Thank you that is close to what I was thinking. What would be another exmaple of how friction affects rock climbers? Thank you so much.
