Answer:

a) 8.80 N

b) 4.78 N

Explanation:

The weight of the book is

W = mg = 2.03\times9.81 = 19.9143 \text{ N}

By Newton's third law, the reaction from the table, R, is equal to its weight.

R = 19.9143 N

From the law of solid friction,

F = \mu R

F is the maximum frictional force and \mu is the coefficient of friction.

a) The force needed to begin moving the book is that needed to overcome static friction

F = 0.442\times19.9143 = 8.80\text{ N}

b) The force needed to move the book at constant speed once it begins moving is that needed to overcome kinetic friction

F = 0.240\times19.9143 = 4.78\text{ N}

The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor have constant charges of +Q and?Q. Do the following quantities increase, decrease, or r
sveticcg [70]

Explanation:

(A) Electric field for the parallel plate capacitor is given by :

E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_o}

It is clear that the electric field does not depend on the separation of the plates.

(B) The relation between the electric field and the electric potential is given by :

V=Ed

d is the separation between plates. So, if the separation of the plates is increased, the potential difference increases.

(C) The capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor is given by :

C=\dfrac{A\epsilon_o}{d}

So, the capacitance decreases when the separation of the plates is increased.

(D) The energy stored in the capacitor is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2

E=\dfrac{1}{2}C(Ed)^2

So, the energy stored in the capacitor  is increased when the separation of the plates is increased.

A force of 30 N is applied tangentially to the rim of a solid disk of radius 0.14 m. The disk rotates about an axis through its
sammy [17]

Answer: 3.27kg

Explanation:

Inertia can be said to be the resistance of an object to a change in its motion. This includes a change in its direction. An object will stay still or keep moving at the same speed and in a straight line, except it is acted upon by an unbalanced external force.

Given F = 30N

r = 0.14m

a = 130rad/s²

Then, T = Fr

T = 30*0.14

T = 4.2Nm

Also, T = inertia * acceleration

Inertia = 4.2/a

Inertia = 4.2/130

Inertia = 0.032

Also, inertia = mr²/2

0.032 = m * (0.14²)/2

0.032 = m * 0.0098

m = 0.032/0.0098

m = 3.27kg

Why does it seem harder to start sliding a couch across a carpeted floor than it oes to keep it moving?
svetlana [45]
When you start sliding the couch, you have to overcome the static friction of the carpeted floor, which is usually very big, especially due to the texture of the carpet. However, as long as you get it moving, you only have to apply the force to overcome the kinetic friction, which is smaller than the static friction.
