The cabinet is being pulled with 200N and is being rested by a force equal to 200N. That is why it is not being moved. 


<span>Although the force of static friction can equal Fk=µs*F=m*g*µs=(30kg)*(9.8m/s^2)*(0.80)=235 N. It is not resisting the 200N force with 235N. Imagine if you pushed something with 200N and it pushed you back with 235N, especially a cabinet. You would think that the cabinet was alive.</span>

A car traveling at 23m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 7 seconds. What is the acceleration?
Lena [83]

The car has an initial velocity v_0 of 23 m/s and a final velocity v of 0 m/s. Recall that for constant acceleration,

v=v_0+at

The car stops in 7 s, so the acceleration is

0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=23\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+a(7\,\mathrm s)

\implies a\approx-3.29\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}

What is friction and explain
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Friction is the force you get when you (for example) Rub something with another, it's a force that may generate heat and even some resistance. Another example is rubbing your hands together, they get hot, therefore friction is working, without friction you wouldn't be able to stop moving.

How does a television have a negative effect on the environment
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Too much screen time can be a bad thing: Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight. Kids who view violent acts on TV are more likely to show aggressive behavior, and to fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. When we considered the whole television chain of production, distribution and consumption, we found that the largest environmental impact associated with a television programme was not the energy consumed in making it, but the energy used by the millions of televisions, set-top boxes and other consumer devices involved

How can you determine the rate of a chemical reaction?
DanielleElmas [232]
Take a look at a simple reaction like the one below:

In this reaction some reactant A is turned into some product B. The rate of reaction can be represented by a decrease in concentration of A over time or as the increase of B over time. This is written:
