Answer:

μ = 0.692

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and include the respective forces acting on the body. Similarly, deduce the respective equations according to the conditions of the problem and the directions of the forces.

Attached is an image with the respective forces:

A summation of forces on the Y-axis is performed equal to zero, in order to determine the normal force N. this summation is equal to zero since there is no movement on the Y-axis.

Since the body moves at a constant speed, there is no acceleration so the sum of forces on the X-axis must be equal to zero.

The frictional force is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction by the normal force. In this way, we can calculate the coefficient of friction.

The process of solving this problem can be seen in the attached image.

two teams are playing tug of war. team a pulls to the right with a force of 450n .team b pulls to the left with a force of 415 n
Alex_Xolod [135]

Explanation:

It is given that, two teams are playing tug of war.

Force applied by Team A, F_A=450\ N

Force applied by Team B, F_B=415\ N

We need to find the net force acting on the rope. It is equal to :

F_{net}=F_A-F_B

F_{net}=450-415

F_{net}=35\ N

So, the net force acting on the rope is 35 N and it is acting toward right. Hence, this is the required solution.

Human hox genes are in four clusters: HOXA, HOXB, HOXC, and HOXD for a total of 39 genes. besides conserving the clustering of genes, evolution has also conserved the order of genes within them.

What is a gene?

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes helps to make molecules called proteins. However, many genes do not synthesis for proteins. Every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. Most genes are the same in all people, but a small number of genes (less than 1 percent of the total) are slightly different among the people. Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features.

3. Is the relationship between the gravitational force and the mass directly proportional or
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Directly Proportional

Explanation:

Gravitational force can be calculated with the equation F = g(m1 * m2)/ r^2

So if we increase mass, force will also increase because mass is in the numerator.
