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

Stels [109]
The melting of polar ice is one effect of the greenhouse effect, or also global warming.

The greenhouse effect, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is "the <span>warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet (as Earth or Venus) that is caused by conversion of solar radiation into heat in a process involving selective transmission of short wave solar radiation by the atmosphere, its absorption by the planet's surface, and reradiation as infrared which is absorbed and partly reradiated back to the surface by atmospheric gases".

In short, "</span>the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet".

What is the peak emf generated by a 0.250 m radius, 500-turn coil is rotated one-fourth of a revolution in 4.17 ms, originally h
zysi [14]

Complete question:

What is the peak emf generated by a 0.250 m radius, 500-turn coil is rotated one-fourth of a revolution in 4.17 ms, originally having its plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field 0.425 T. (This is 60 rev/s.)

Answer:

The peak emf generated by the coil is 15.721 kV

Explanation:

Given;

Radius of coil, r = 0.250 m

Number of turns, N = 500-turn

time of revolution, t = 4.17 ms = 4.17 x 10⁻³ s

magnetic field strength, B = 0.425 T

Induced peak emf = NABω

where;

A is the area of the coil

A = πr²

ω is angular velocity

ω = π/2t = (π) /(2 x 4.17 x 10⁻³) = 376.738 rad/s =  60 rev/s

Induced peak emf = NABω

                               = 500 x (π x 0.25²) x 0.425 x 376.738

                               = 15721.16 V

                               = 15.721 kV

Therefore, the peak emf generated by the coil is 15.721 kV
