Question

It is harder to slide a filled tumbler than an empty one. What is making it difficult in the case of filled tumbler? *​

Answer 1

Answer:

combined weight of the tumbler and its components

Step-by-step explanation:

Force of friction decides whether an object will be easy or difficult to slide on a given surface.

Force of friction depends on the normal reaction experienced by an object, and the normal reaction depends on the weight of the object and other factors that are not necessary here.

So in the case of filled tumbler you can say the net weight of the entire tumbler and its components is making it difficult to slide.

Answer 2

The loaded tumbler is heavier and has a higher mass than the empty one, sliding it is more difficult because it requires more external force.

• Sliding friction between the two surfaces, as well as the mass of the object, influence the tumbler's sliding movement.

• The sliding motion is the contact motion of one object over another that occurs when the frictional force between the two surfaces is overcome.

• Force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration, according to Newton's second law of motion.

         F = m × a

        where,

        F = External force

        m = mass of object

         a = acceleration

• As a result, the imposed external force is proportional to the object's mass. As a result, a heavier object will require more force to overcome the frictional resistance and move easily.
