- Define van der Waals forcearrow_forwardA scientist was investigating if differences in the frictional work performed on a model car can change depending on its mass (in grams) and whether the car moves up or down an inclined plane. They decided to measure the amount of frictional force experienced by the model car and the distance it traveled in meters. The scientists were able to evaluate the frictional work using the following data. Mass (g) Distance (m) Force Work Done by Friction (J) car going up the incline 100 39 0.063 2.457 car going down the incline 70 39 0.2309 ? It is known that the relationship between force and distance determines the work done by friction (W+). W₁ = fd Wf work done by friction f = force d = distance Question: How much work done by friction was exerted on the car as it moved down the inclined plane?
