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

.A box falls to the ground from a delivery truck traveling at 30 m/s. After hitting the road, it slides 45 m to
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

t = 3 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed, u = 30 m/s

Final speed, v = 0

It slides 45 m to rest.it take the box to come to rest

We need to find how long it take the box to come to rest.

Let a be the acceleration and t is time.

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}\\\\a=\dfrac{(30)^2-u^2}{2(45)}\\\\=10\ m/s^2

Now finding time.

t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{30-0}{10}\\\\t=3\ s

So, the required time is 3 seconds.

Positive electric charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere with radius R.From the express
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Vb = k Q / r        r <R

Vb = k q / R³ (R² - r²)    r >R

Explanation:

The electic potential is defined by

             ΔV = - ∫ E .ds

We calculate the potential in the line of the electric pipe, therefore the scalar product reduces the algebraic product

             VB - VA = - ∫ E dr

Let's substitute every equation they give us and we find out

r> R

           Va = - ∫ (k Q / r²) dr

           -Va = - k Q (- 1 / r)

We evaluate with it Va = 0 for r = infinity

          Vb = k Q / r        r <R

         

We perform the calculation of the power with the expression of the electric field that they give us

           Vb = - int (kQ / R3 r) dr

  We integrate and evaluate from the starting point r = R to the final point r <R

         Vb = ∫kq / R³ r dr

         Vb = k q / R³ (R² - r²)

This is the electric field in the whole space, the places of interest are r = 0, r = R and r = infinity

After a long night of cramming for a test, your college room-mate hits his head forcefully against the wall of your room in desp
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: the wall contracts the force exerted by his head. The wall produces the opposite force which is equal to the force his head bangs the wall with.

Explanation: if his head exerts a much greater force than the wall can counteract the wall will be destroyed, if the wall exerts a much greater force than his head exerts he will be pushed far back and might even suffer a broken head.

The wall in this case provides the opposite reactive force.
