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

During your summer internship for an aerospace company, you are asked to design a small research rocket. The rocket is to be lau
Viktor [21]

Answer:

6.75 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = 16 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Let y be the distance the rocket is accelerating

960-y is the distance traveled in free fall

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 16\times y+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v^2=32y\ m/s

In free fall

v^2-u^2=2g(960-y)\\\Rightarrow 0-32y=2g(960-y)\\\Rightarrow -32y=2\times -9.81(960-y)\\\Rightarrow 960-y=\dfrac{-32}{2\times -9.81}y\\\Rightarrow 960-y=1.63098878695y\\\Rightarrow 960=2.63098878695y\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{960}{2.63098878695}\\\Rightarrow y=364.881828749\ m

The distance the rocket will keep accelerating is 364.881828749 m

After which it will travel 960-364.881828749 = 595.118171251 m in free fall

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 364.881828749=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 16\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{364.881828749\times 2}{16}}\\\Rightarrow t=6.75353452598\ s

The time the rocket is accelerating is 6.75 seconds

When driving at night, only use your high-beam headlights___
zzz [600]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

While answer C may sound correct, Answer B is makes more sense. We know you cant use High-beam lights when u cant see ongoing traffic because it could affect the other driver coming across from you. Its good to use it when legal and safe, but in that term I still don't believe there's no reason for HIGH-beamed. That's this leaves B, when you are on u lighted streets.

How do you find period when you have frequency
nydimaria [60]

Period and frequency are mutual reciprocals.

Period = 1 / frequency .

Frequency = 1 / period

(Frequency) x (Period) = 1

A ceiling fan is turned on and reaches an angular speed of 132 rev/min in 20 s. It is then turned off and coasts to a stop in an
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

α = (ωf - ωi)/t

acceleration phase

ωf = 132 rev/min (2π rad/rev / 60 s/min) = 4.4π rad/s

α₁ = (4.4π - 0)/20 = 0.22π rad/s²

α₂ = (0 - 4.4π)/40 = - 0.11π rad/s²

α₁/α₂ = 0.22π/- 0.11π = -2
