Answer:

a)15 N

b)12.6 N

Explanation:

Given that

Weight of block (wt)= 21 N

μs = 0.80 and μk = 0.60

We know that

Maximum value of static friction given as

Frs = μs m g = μs .wt

by putting the values

Frs= 0.8 x 21 = 16.8 N

Value of kinetic friction

Frk= μk m g = μk .wt

By putting the values

Frk= 0.6 x 21 = 12.6 N

a)

When T = 15 N

Static friction Frs= 16.8 N

Here the value of static friction is more than tension T .It means that block will not move and the value of friction force will be equal to the tension force.

Friction force = 15 N

b)

When T= 35 N

Here value of tension force is more than maximum value of static friction that is why block will move .We know that when body is in motion then kinetic friction will act on the body.so the value of friction force in this case will be 12.6 N

Friction force = 12.6 N

mart [117]

Answer:

Distance from sun, orbit and rotation. Presence of interior oceans, and elements that forms compressed water.

Explanation:

  • Both the planets are Jovian planets and have layers formed by ice such as that of Uranus does not have any surface. Such as the planet is only rotating fluids.  While 80% of the mass of Neptune is made up of fluids or icy water and also consists of ammonia and methane.

Think of one example where Bob would need to calculate the net force on a person at the water park.
gregori [183]
Well Bob would need to calculate to net force of someone going down a water slide. Since the person is going down the slide, the person will go faster, depending on their mass/weight and the gravitational pull. As phrased in Newton’s Second Law.


Newton’s Second Law:
Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.

zhenek [66]

Answer:

1. The displacement is 427.2 km.

Explanation:

1. A = 150 km North

B = 400 km East

The net displacement is given by

R =\sqrt{400^2 + 150^2 }\\\\R = 427.2 km
