We are given a box that slides up a ramp. To determine the force of friction we will use the following relationship:

F_f=\mu N

Where.

\begin{gathered} N=\text{ normal force} \\ \mu=\text{ coefficient of friction} \end{gathered}

To determine the Normal force we will add the forces in the direction perpendicular to the ramp, we will call this direction the y-direction as shown in the following diagram:

In the diagram we have:

\begin{gathered} m=\text{ mass}_{} \\ g=\text{ acceleration of gravity} \\ mg=\text{ weight} \\ mg_y=y-\text{component of the weight. } \end{gathered}

Adding the forces in the y-direction we get:

\Sigma F_y=N-mg_y

Since there is no movement in the y-direction the sum of forces must be equal to zero:

N-mg_y=0

Now we solve for the normal force:

N=mg_y

To determine the y-component of the weight we will use the trigonometric function cosine:

\cos 40=\frac{mg_y}{mg}

Now we multiply both sides by "mg":

mg\cos 40=mg_y

Now we substitute this value in the expression for the normal force:

N=mg\cos 40

Now we substitute this in the expression for the friction force:

F_f=\mu mg\cos 40

Now we substitute the given values:

F_f=(0.2)(10\operatorname{kg})(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\cos 40

Solving the operations:

F_f=15.01N

Therefore, the force of friction is 15.01 Newtons.

Which best symbolizes the hydrogen bonding between two water molecules?
Artemon [7]

The best symbolizes the hydrogen bonding between two water molecules is given in the diagram.

<h3 /><h3>What is hydrogen bonding?</h3>

A hydrogen bond is an attraction between an electronegative atom carrying a single pair of electrons—the hydrogen bond acceptor—and a hydrogen atom that is covalently bonded to a more electronegative "donor" atom or group.

One definition of a polar covalent bond is one in which one atom has a stronger alternation for electron negativity difference between two bonds, the more polar the link.

Polar molecules like H2O have a mild partial negative charge in one area and a partial positive charge in another.
