Answer:

Mu,k between the floor and the box is 0.609

Explanation:

given information:

weight of the book, W = 325 N

applied force, F = 425 N

angle, θ = 35.2°

to find the coefficient kinetic between the floor and the box, wee need to calculate the horizontal and vertical force.

first we calculate the vertical force, there are weight, normal force(N) and applied vertical force.

according to Newton's first law

ΣF = 0

ΣF_{y} = 0

W - N + F sin θ = 0

N = W + F sin θ

Next, we calculate the force in horizontal direction. applied force and friction force(F_{friction})

ΣF_{x} = 0

F cos θ - F_{friction} = 0

F cos θ - μk (W - F sin θ) = 0

μk =  (F cos θ) / (W + F sin θ)

    = (425 cos 35.2°)/(325+425 sin 35.2°)

    = 0.609

Approximately what core temperature is required before hydrogen fusion can begin in a star?
valkas [14]

Answer:

The temperature required is near about 3 million kelvin

Explanation:

The brilliance of the star results from the nuclear reaction that take place in the core of the star and radiate a huge amount of thermal energy resulting from the fusion of hydrogen into helium.

For this reaction to take place, the temperature of the star's core must be near about 3 million kelvin.

The hydrogen atoms collide and starts and the energy from the collision results in the heating of the gas cloud. As the temperature comes to near about 1.5\times 10^{7 {\circ}C, the nuclear fusion reaction takes place in the core of the gas cloud.

The huge amount of thermal energy from the nuclear reaction gives the gas cloud a brilliance resulting in a protostar.

What is the maximum mass that can hang without sinking from a 20-cm diameter Styrofoam sphere in water? Assume the volume of the
alex41 [277]

Answer:

the maximum mass that can hang without sinking is 2.93 kg

Explanation:

Given: details:

sphere diameter  d = 20 cm

so, radius r = 10 cm  = 0.10 m

density of the Styrofoam sphere D = 300 kg/m3

sphere volume  V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

                                                   =\frac{4}{3} \pi 0.10^3

                                                   =4.18*10^{-3} m^3

we know that

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

mass  M = Density * Volume

                                  = (300)(4.18*10^{-3} m3)

                                  =1.25 kg

mass of the water displace = volume *density  of water

                                                 = 4.18*10^{-3} m3 * 1000

                                                 = 4.18 kg

The difference between the mass of water and mass of styrofoam is the amount of mass that the sphere can support

=4.18 kg  -1.25 kg

= 2.93 kg

What new tool did geologists use to estimate the changing flow rates of lava over the duration of this eruption? Hint: The answe
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Option b, pothographs from drones.

Explanation:

the USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) decided to make photographic captures from drones to the volcanic surfaces, which allowed through observations to understand things like the characteristics of the lava, the height of the volcanic plumes (among others).

72.0-kg person pushes on a small doorknob with a force of 5.00 N perpendicular to the surface of the door. The doorknob is locat
expeople1 [14]

Answer:I=2 kg-m^2

Explanation:

Given

mass m=72 kg

Force F=5 N

door knob is located at a distance of r=0.8 m from axis

Angular acceleration of door \alpha =2 rad/s^2

Torque T=I\alpha =F\times r

where I=moment of inertia

5\times 0.8=I\times 2

I=2 kg-m^2
