Scientists Identify Molecular Source Of Friction - ScienceDaily (June 4, 1999) — It's 'the gunk in the middle' See also: Matter & Energy Nature of Water Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry Organic Chemistry Physics Materials Science Reference Friction List of phases of matter Drag (physics) Viscosity Exactly 300 years after Guillaume Amontons produced the classic laws of friction, physicists at The Johns Hopkins University have accounted for the notable endurance of Amontons' equations by identifying the molecular origins of static friction. It's that stuff in the middle. 'Typically, when someone measures friction, what they will report is the ratio of force to the load, which is the coefficient of friction,' said Mark Robbins, professor of physics at Johns Hopkins. 'But it's never been understood at the molecular level how we get this linear relationship, or why it should hold for a wide array of materials and geometries. Our work now shows that the gunk in the middle--typically hydrocarbon molecules that are almost always present between....

Question : Need to know how I would (descriptively) draw the Free body Diagram and how to calculate A net force of an object with more than 2 forces such as the questions below and most importantly how to get the final Direction. Explain in detail and show work please: 2. A tow truck is starting to tow a damaged car and exerts a force of 4000 N [E] on the car. A 1500 N [W] force of friction opposdes the car's motion. The force of gravity on the car is 8000 N [down]. a) Draw a Free Body Diagram for the ..

Answer : a) To draw a free body diagram, just draw a simple picture of a car (the tow truck is not needed, or it can be included if you want), the road. Then show gravity acting on the car with an arrow downward, show the force of the earth acting back on the car (the opposite and equal to gravity's force). This should go upward to the sky. Then arrow the force of friction going in the opposite direction of the car, and the force exerted on the car by the tow-truck as an arrow opposite to that of friction. b) the force of gravity i presume is not important, so we use the east and west forces. Lets say the tow truck force is positive, thus: +4000N. It can also be said that the force of friction is thus negative: -1500N. We can now add these forces: 4000 + (-1500) = 4000 - 1500 = 2500N ------> this is the net force on the car. and as force is a vector, a direction must be given. the net force is positive (same as tow truck East), so thus the answer is: The net force is 2500N East. I h..

Question : 1.

Reducing friction in a machine a. decreases its actual mechanical advantage. b. d..

Answer : d. b. c. less

Question : and what would be a good picture to represent static fiction? I found a picture of trying to push a heavy box, but since it was too heavy, there is no motion. Does this count as static friction? Also since we have to put arrows for direction of motion and friction, I would put and arrow saying 'static friction' and another saying 'intended motion', correct?

Answer : A man sitting on a hill or a box that is stationary on a ramp.
