Answer:

D. It is no smaller than 0.78N

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. These are all the options :

A. It is no larger than 0.78N

B. It is 0.78N

C. It is 0.08N

D. It is no smaller than 0.78N

To solve this problem, we have the data of :

m=0.4kg

Where ''m'' is the mass of the block

μ = 0.2

Where ''μ'' is the coefficient of static friction

If we want to find the magnitude of the force of static friction we need to use the following equation :

F_{sf}= μ.F_{N} (I)

Where ''F_{N}'' is the normal force that the desk exerts on the block. Its magnitude is equal to the weight (because we suppose that the block rests horizontally on the desk).

The weight ''W'' can be calculated as :

W=m.g

Where ''m'' is the mass and ''g'' is the acceleration due to gravity.

The value of ''g'' is

g=9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The weight of the block is

W=(0.4kg).(9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}})

W=3.924N

Now, the weight is equal to the normal force ⇒

W=F_{N}=3.924N

Using the equation (I) :

F_{sf}=(0.2).(3.924N)

F_{sf}=0.7848N

The correct option is D. It is no smaller than 0.78N

A roller coaster car of mass m= 300 kg is released from rest at the top of a 60 m high hill (position A), and rolls with a negli
Andrews [41]

Answer: The principle of conservation of energy, angular speed and centripetal force

Explanation:

At point A, the car experienced maximum of potential energy

As it moves down the hill, the potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases.

The maximum kinetic energy of the car is needed for the attainment of enough centripetal force to help the car move through the loop without falling .
