Answer:

The minimum compression is  x= 0.046m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

              The mass of the block is m_b = 1.45 kg

               The spring constant is  k = 860 N/m

               The coefficient of static friction is  \mu = 0.36

For the the block not slip it mean the sum of forces acting on the  horizontal axis is equal to the forces acting on the vertical axis

     Now the force acting on the vertical axis is the force due to gravity which is mathematically given as

                   F_y = m_b*g

And the force acting on the horizontal axis is  force due to the spring which is mathematically represented as

                   F_x = k *x * \mu

where x is the minimum compression to keep the block from slipping

        Now equating this two formulas and making x the subject

                      x = \frac{m_b * g}{k * \mu}

substituting values we have

                     x = \frac{1.45 * 9.8}{860 *0.36}

                        x= 0.046m

Humans obtain energy in a number of different ways. About half of the electrical energy in the U.S. is generated by burning coal
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

C. Burning coal tends to harm the environment more than using solar panels.

Explanation:

When coal is burned, it reacts with the oxygen in the air. This reaction converts the stored potential energy, which turns into thermal energy, which is released as heat. But it also produces methane and carbon dioxide which is released into the air.

**100 points** PLEASE ANSWER IN 3 PARAGRAPHS
Deffense [45]

Answer:

In the previous section, we defined circular motion. The simplest case of circular motion is uniform circular motion, where an object travels a circular path at a constant speed. Note that, unlike speed, the linear velocity of an object in circular motion is constantly changing because it is always changing direction. We know from kinematics that acceleration is a change in velocity, either in magnitude or in direction or both. Therefore, an object undergoing uniform circular motion is always accelerating, even though the magnitude of its velocity is constant.

You experience this acceleration yourself every time you ride in a car while it turns a corner. If you hold the steering wheel steady during the turn and move at a constant speed, you are executing uniform circular motion. What you notice is a feeling of sliding (or being flung, depending on the speed) away from the center of the turn. This isn’t an actual force that is acting on you—it only happens because your body wants to continue moving in a straight line (as per Newton’s first law) whereas the car is turning off this straight-line path. Inside the car it appears as if you are forced away from the center of the turn. This fictitious force is known as the centrifugal force. The sharper the curve and the greater your speed, the more noticeable this effect becomes.

Figure 6.7 shows an object moving in a circular path at constant speed. The direction of the instantaneous tangential velocity is shown at two points along the path. Acceleration is in the direction of the change in velocity; in this case it points roughly toward the center of rotation. (The center of rotation is at the center of the circular path). If we imagine Δs becoming smaller and smaller, then the acceleration would point exactly toward the center of rotation, but this case is hard to draw. We call the acceleration of an object moving in uniform circular motion the centripetal acceleration ac because centripetal means center seeking.

hope it helps! stay safe and tell me if im wrong pls :D

(brainliest if you want, or if its right pls) :)
