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

A tennis racket strikes a tennis ball with a force of 100 N. With what force
viva [34]

Answer:

-100N

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that to every force exerted on one body, there is an equal and opposite force. This means that if object A exerts an ACTION force on B, there is a force called REACTION FORCE, which is equal and opposite, exerted on A by B.

The action and reaction forces are equal in size/magnitude but opposite in direction. In this case where a tennis racket strikes a tennis ball with a force (action force) of 100N, the ball will strike the racket with a reaction force of -100N.

A mechanic uses a mechanical lift to raise a car. The car weighs 11,000 N. The lift raises the car 2.5 m.
KengaRu [80]

Potential energy = (weight) x (height)

After the car has been raised 2.5 meters, it has

                 (11,000) x (2.5) = 27,500 Joules

MORE potential energy than it had before it was lifted.

That's the energy that has to come from the work you do to lift it.

Since no mechanical process is ever 100% efficient, the work required
to accomplish this task is <em>at least  27,500 joules</em>.

Light of wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm. (a) the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 m
faltersainse [42]

The distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

To find the answer, we have to know about the width of the central maximum.

<h3>How to find the distance between slit and the screen?</h3>
  • It is given that, wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm, and the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 mm.
  • We have the expression for slit width w as,

                           w=\frac{2*wavelength*d}{a}

where, d is the distance between slit and the screen, and a is the slit width.

  • Thus, distance between slit and the screen is,

                           d=\frac{w*a}{2*wavelength} =\frac{8*10^{-3}*0.17*10^{-3}}{560*10^{-9}*2} \\\\d=1.214m

Thus, we can conclude that, the distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.
