First you must look for the coefficient of friction of the dry asphalt. For this case, searching in google, the value is 0.85. Then, you must find the normal force by making a free-body diagram. In the diagram, you sum up forces in vertical direction and find that the normal force is 60N. Then, by sum of forces in a horizontal direction, the friction force will be given by:F = (60) * (0.85) = 51N.51N is the magnitude of the minimum force needed to start the rubber block moving across the dry asphalt

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

If Technician B was correct, and the master cylinder is defective - then no braking action would occur.

This is not true however, as some breaking action eventually occurs, meaning it must be out of adjustment.

Why is atomaspheric pressure greater at the surface on Earth
andrew-mc [135]
Hello!

Because as you get closer to the surface of the earth, the more air that is on top of you. At the top of the atmosphere, there is less air, and everything is a vacuum, where you have no weight. When you get close to the earth, the weight of the air builds until it when you're at the very lowest point of the earths surface, all the air in the atmosphere above you is pressing down.

Thank You!

How does the quantum mechanical model of the atom describe electrons
Ulleksa [173]

The quantum mechanical model describes the allowed energies an electron can have. It also describes how likely it is to find the electrons in various locations around an atom's nucleus.

A 1502.7 kg car is traveling at 33.1 m/s when
Bond [772]

By definition of average acceleration,

<em>a</em> = (20 m/s - 33.1 m/s) / (4.7 s) ≈ -2.78 m/s²

Vertically, the car is in equilibrium, so the net force is equal to the friction force in the direction opposite the car's motion:

∑ <em>F</em> = (1502.7 kg) (-2.78 m/s²) ≈ -4188.38 N ≈ -4200 N

If you just want the magnitude, drop the negative sign.
