The magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.

<h3>What is frictional force?</h3>

When an object is moving on a rough surface, it experiences opposition. This opposing force is called the friction.

Two identical 3.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up from left to right and a force F₁ is applied to the left side of the left cube causing both cubes to move at a constant speed v. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the cubes and the surface is 0.3.

From the equilibrium of forces in vertical direction

Normal force N= 2m x g

friction force f = μN =μ(2m)g

From the equilibrium of forces in horizontal direction

F₁ =ma =0

using Newton's third law of motion, we get

F₁ - f =0

F₁ =f = μ(2m)g

Put the values, we get

F₁ = 17.64N

Thus, magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.

A bird can fly 25 km/h. How long does it take to fly 15 km?

Amanda [17]

25 km/h means that 15 kilometers will be 15/25ths of an hour. Therefore, 3/5 of an hour is 36 minutes, so it would take 36 minutes to fly that distance.

A (hypothetical) large slingshot is stretched 4.00 m to launch a 440 g projectile with speed sufficient to escape from Earth (11

RSB [31]

Answer:

(A) 3,449,600 N/m

(B) 62,720 poeple

Explanation:

extension of the sling shot (e) = 4 m

mass of projectile (m) = 440 g = 0.44 kg

speed of projectile (v) = 11.2 km/s = 11,200 m/s

average force a person can exert = 220 N

spring constant (k) = ?

(A) When all the elastic potential energy is converted to kinetic energy

$o.5ke^{2} = 0.5 mv^{2}$

rearranging the above equation

spring constant (K) = $\frac{0.5mv^{2} }{0.5e^{2}}$

spring constant (K) = $\frac{0.5x0.44x11,200^{2} }{0.5x4^{2}}$

spring constant (K) = $\frac{27,596,800}{8}$

spring constant (K) = 3,449,600 N/m

(B) force required to stretch the slingshot (F) = ke = 3,449,600 x 4 = 13,798,400 N

number of people required = required force / average force per person = 13,798,400 / 220 =62,720 poeple

It is said that a gas fills all the space available to it. Why then doesn't the atmosphere go off into space?

Alex777 [14]

Earth has its own atmosphere. That is one reason all the water that has been on Earth has been recycled through the water cycle. It never leaves Earth’s atmosphere.
