A 50-kg block is at rest on a 15o slope. A force of 250 N is acting on the block up the slope parallel to it. If the block does

The minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the slope is 0.53.

<h3>Minimum coefficient of static friction</h3>

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F - μFs = 0

μFs = F

where;

  • μ is coefficient of static friction
  • Fs is frictional force
  • F is applied force

μ = F/Fs

μ = F/(mgcosθ)

μ = (250)/(50 x 9.8 x cos15)

μ = 0.53

Thus, the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the slope is 0.53.

Relationship between oceanography and cryosphere

<span>Oceanography is the study of the ocean and the cryosphere are the portions of the earth that are just frozen water (ice). When fresh water glaciers melt, they lower the salt levels in the ocean and and oceanographer studies that and makes sure that it wont have too much of an effect. The cryosphere plays a significant role in the global climate. </span>

Foraging bees often move in straight lines away from and toward their hives. Suppose a bee starts at its hive and flies 680 m du
lys-0071 [83]

Represent the motion in the number line.

Movement to the east is movement to the negative side. Movement to the west is movement to the positive side.

Total displacement = -680m + 430m - 620m = -870m

Total displacement = 860m to the east.

You use a pulley system to lift a car engine. You apply a force of 120n and the pulley pulls on the engine with a force of 1050n
Savatey [412]

Given,

Effort force = 120 N

Load force= 1050 N

Mechanical advantage of a pulley is given by the ratio of load force to the effort force.

M.A=\frac{Load force}{Effort force}

=\frac{1050}{120}

=8.75

Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the given pulley is 8.75.

Based on discoveries to date, which of the following conclusions is justified?a) Most stars have one or more terrestrial planets
KIM [24]

Based on discoveries to date, the conclusion as “Planetary systems are common and planets similar in size to Earth are also common” is justified.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

Some studies show that on average, each star has at least single planet. This means that most stars, such as the Solar System, possess planets (otherwise exoplanets). It is known that small planets (more or less Earthly or slightly larger) are more common than giant planets. The mediocrity principles state that planet like Earth should be universal in the universe, while the rare earth hypothesis says they are extremely rare.

Size is often considered an important factor, because planets the size of the Earth are probably more terrestrial and can hold the earth's atmosphere. The planetary system is a series of gravitational celestial objects orbiting a star or galaxy. Generally, planetary systems describe systems with one or more planets, although such systems may also consist of bodies such as dwarf planets, asteroids and the like.
