What else can I help you with?
To stop a table in your classroom falling through the floor what must the floor do against the force of gravity pulling the table down?
Newton's third law of motion states that: "For applied force (A), exists some force (B) of equal magnitude acting in the opposite direction of the force applied.". The force of the weight (which is the mass of the table multiplied by gravity) [W=mg] pushing down on the floor is counterbalanced by an equal and opposite force of the floor pushing up on the table. This is why the table does not fall through the floor. The floor is able to provide this force without allowing the table to move through it because the bonds between its atoms are strong enough.
When you push a box across floor n the box resists your push what horizontal force is resisting you?
The horizontal force resisting your push when you push a box across a floor is the force of friction between the box and the floor. This force acts in the opposite direction to the direction in which you are pushing the box.
What force are you demonstrating if you drop your book on the floor?
gravity
A force of 320 N is required to pull a box across the floor at a constant velocity What is the force of friction between the floor and the box?
It's 320 N. Since the friction force is in the direction opposite to the motion, thepulling force and the friction force balance, the net horizontal force on the box iszero, and its speed is therefore constant.
A marble lying in the middle of the floor. use newtons first law to describe what will happen to the marble?
According to Newton's First Law of Motion, the marble will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force. In this case, if no external force is applied to the marble, it will continue to stay still in the middle of the floor.
What force is affected when a floor is washed and it becomes slippery?
The force of friction is affected when a floor is washed and becomes slippery. Friction is reduced between the floor surface and any objects or people moving across it, leading to a higher likelihood of slipping.
Why do you slide on a slippery floor?
There may not be enough friction between your feet and the floor. You need friction to be able to exert a force against the floor, to balance yourself and move in the direction you desire.
What force prevents people from sliding when they walk?
The force of friction between the ground and the bottom of their shoes prevents people from sliding when they walk. Friction provides the necessary traction to maintain stability and prevent slipping.
Why is it difficult to walk on a slippery floor?
There may not be enough friction between your feet and the floor. You need friction to be able to exert a force against the floor, to balance yourself and move in the direction you desire.
What force stops boots from slipping?
Friction is the force that stops boots from slipping. The rough surface of the sole of the boot interacts with the ground, creating resistance to sliding. Additionally, the weight of the person wearing the boots helps to increase the frictional force and prevent slipping.
What is the force that will stop thing for slipping?
The force that prevents things from slipping is static friction. It occurs when an object is resting on a surface and resists motion when an external force is applied to it. Static friction acts in the opposite direction of the impending motion, preventing slipping.
Which force helps to stop us from slipping over?
Friction is the force that helps to stop us from slipping over. When our shoes grip the ground, the friction between the shoe and the surface provides the necessary traction to prevent slipping.
How does the force of friction affect a slipping shoe?
Friction between the slipping shoe and the ground creates a force that opposes the slipping motion, making it more difficult for the shoe to slide. Increasing the friction can help improve traction and reduce the likelihood of slipping accidents.
The force which prevents a glass bottle from slipping out of your hand?
friction
Why friction needs to be increased at homes?
Well friction is a force that acts between two surfaces in contact. Although it has unwanted effects like loss of energy or wear and tear, yet it is a very important force and is thus sometimes called 'the necessary evil'. At homes friction needs to be increased on stairs, floors, especially bathroom floors in order to prevent accidents due slipping or skidding. The greater friction between shoes/feet and the floor, the lesser is the chance of slipping. In bathrooms, water/soap on the floor may reduce friction drastically thus greatly increasing the chances of slipping.
How much force does a floor exert on you?
The force a floor exerts on you is equal and opposite to your weight. This force is known as the normal force, which supports your weight and prevents you from falling through the floor. The magnitude of this force depends on your mass and the acceleration due to gravity.
What is the name of the force that will stop slipping?
Friction. It creates resistance between two surfaces and stops slipping.
