. If FP remains constant but the angle θ is increased, which of the following is true at some later time?
A.The force of friction between the block and surface will increase.

B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.

C.The weight of the block will increase.

D.The weight of the block will decrease.

Answer:

B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.

Explanation:

The force of friction is given by

F_s = \mu N

where \mu is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force.

When the student pulls on the block with force F_p at an angle \theta, the normal force on the block becomes

N  = Mg- F_psin(\theta)

and hence the frictional force becomes

F_s = \mu (Mg- F_psin(\theta)).

Now, as we increase \theta, sin(\theta) increases which as a result decreases the normal force Mg- F_psin(\theta), which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.

<em>P.S: Choice D is tempting but incorrect since the weight </em>W=mg<em> is independent of the external forces on the block. </em>

Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. In a coal-fired power plant, chemical energy is first conver
denis23 [38]

Answer:

1. In a coal-fired power plant, chemical energy is first converted to thermal energy. TRUE.

The chemical energy in the coal is converted to thermal energy when the coal is burnt to produce steam.

2. In a coal-fired power plant, approximately 2/5 of original energy in the coal is lost to heat. FALSE.

Approximately 3/5 of the original energy is lost not 2/5 so this statement is false.

3. The molecules in cold air move faster than in hot air. FALSE.

Molecules with more heat move faster than molecules with less. Molecules in cold air therefore, will move slower than molecules in hot air.

sukhopar [10]

The problem is most likely that the commutator brushes bounces as the motor shaft rotates.

<h3>What is a DC motor?</h3>

This is referred to a device which converts direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy.

if the commutator brushes bounces as the motor shaft rotates over different materials, the ticking sound is heard.
