Answer:

15 N and 3.061

Explanation:

From the question,

The minimum force of friction to keep the book from sliding = 15 N.

using

F = mgμ................. Equation 1

Where F = Frictional Force, m = mass of the book, g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of friction.

make μ the subject of the equation

μ = F/mg............... Equation 2

Given: F = 15 N, m = 0.5 kg, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

μ = 15(0.5×9.8)

μ = 15/4.9

μ = 3.061

Hence the coefficient of friction to keep the book from sliding = 3.061

Answer:

Frictional force = 5N

Coefficient of friction = 0.33

Explanation;

Frictional force is a force of opposition acting in the opposite direction to the direction of the moving body. Since the body is acting against the wall, the body will move along the vertical in the direction of its weight. This means that the frictional force will act opposite the weight of the object.

To keep the body at rest, the sum of the forces along the horizontal and vertical component must be zero.

Sum of forces along the vertical will be Ff+(-W) = 0

Ff - W = 0

Ff = W where

Ff is the frictional force

W is the weight

Since W = mg, Ff = mg

Given the mass = 0.5kg

Ff = 0.5×10

Ff = 5N

The minimum force that wilk keep the book from sliding is 5N

According to the formula for calculating frictional force (Ff)

Ff = nR where;

n is the coefficient of friction

R is the normal reaction

The normal reaction is the force applied to the book in the horizontal direction.

Given R = 15N

n = Ff/R

n = 5/15

n = 0.33

The minimum coefficent of friction to keep the book from sliding is 0.33

In each of two coils the rate of change of the magnetic flux in a single loop is the same. The emf induced in coil 1, which has
irinina [24]

Answer:

 Coil 2 have  235  loops

Explanation:

Given  

The number of loops in coil 1 is n ₁= 159

The emf induced in coil 1 is  ε ₁ = 2.78 V

The emf induced in coil 2 is  ε ₂ = 4.11 V

Let

n ₂  is the number of loops in coil 2.

Given, the emf in a single loop in two coils are same. That is,

ϕ ₁/n ₁= ϕ ₂ n ₂⟹ 2.78/159 = 4.11/ n ₂

n₂=\frac{159 * 4.11}{2.78}

n₂=235

Therefore, the coil 2 has  n ₂= 235  loops.

Is there a frame of reference one can go into that seems to eliminate gravity as Newton described it?
andriy [413]

Answer:

Yes such a frame exists: a free-fall (free-float frame) frame. This frame of reference is subject only to gravity and no forces such as electromagnetic forces or nuclear forces.

Two equipotential surfaces surround a +3.10 x 10-8-c point charge. how far is the 290-v surface from the 41.0-v surface?
MrMuchimi
 T<span>he equation to be used here to determine the distance between two equipotential points is:
V = k * Q / r 

where v is the voltage of the point, k is a constant, Q is charge of the point measured in coloumbs and r is the distance. 
In this case, we can use ratio of proportions to determine the distance between the two points. in this respect, 

Point 1: 
V = k * Q / r = 290
r = k*Q/290 ; kQ = 290r

Point 2:
V = k * Q / R = 41
R = k*Q/41
from equation 10 kQ = 290r
R = 290/(41)= 7.07 m 
The distance between the two points then is equal to 7.07 m.
