Answer:

0.36

Explanation:

The maximum force of friction exerted by the surface is given by:

F_f = \mu N (1)

where

\mu is the coefficient of friction

N is the normal reaction

The shed's weight is 2200 N. Since there is no motion along the vertical direction, the normal reaction is equal and opposite to the weight, so

N = 2200 N

The horizontal force that is pushing the shed is

F = 800 N

In order for it to keep moving, the force of friction (which acts horizontally in the opposite direction) must be not greater than this value. So the maximum force of friction must be

F_f = 800 N

And substituting the values into eq.(1), we can find the maximum value of the coefficient of friction:

\mu = \frac{F_f}{N}=\frac{800}{2200}=0.36

The dark bands on the wall are from ______________ interference. and i will give brainlyest
Fittoniya [83]
Light can be seen as an electromagnetic wave.
What happens when two waves, with the same frequency, superpose is called interference.

If at a certain point two waves arrive both with a crest, we have constructive interference and the amplitudes sum up, reaching the maximum value, resulting in bright spots.

If at a certain point one of the waves arrives with a crest and the other wave arrives with a trough, we have destructive interference, and the two amplitudes cancel out, resulting in dark spots.

Therefore, t<span>he dark bands on the wall are from destructive interference.</span>
