Answer: 2.5N

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of block (m) = 2kg

Coefficient of static friction (μs) = 0.4

Horizontal force applied to the block = 2.5N

The frictional force (Ff) between the block and the floor is :

First calculate the maximum static frictional force:

Frictional force = Coefficient of static friction(μs) × normal reaction(R)

Normal reaction(R) = mass × acceleration due to gravity (10m/s^2)

R = 2 × 10 = 20

Fmax = μs × R

Fmax = 0.4 x 20 = 8N

Here, since the applied force (2.5N) is less than maximum frictional force(8N).

The force of friction between the block and the floor will be equal to the applied force of 2.5N due its ability to adjust itself in other to ensure equilibrium.

How is force related to math
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion describes the relationship between force and acceleration. They are directly proportional. If you increase the force applied to an object, the acceleration of that object increases by the same factor. In short, force equals mass times acceleration.

which observation about the Mid-Atlantic Ridge region provides the best evidence of the seafloor has been spreading over for mil
Kitty [74]

Magnetic stripes on the sea floor

Explanation:

The observation of magnetic stripes patterns at the region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge galvanized the evidence that sea floor spreading has been on for several millions of years.

  • Geomagnetic field of the earth is similar to that of bar magnet having the north and south pole.
  • It originates from the movement of iron-nickel within the outer core.
  • This geomagnetic field causes the magnetization of magnetic minerals in rock.
  • When freshly formed magma is brought to the surface at the mid oceanic ridge area, the prevailing magnetic field causes the magnetic minerals in the magma to cool in such a way that they align their domains to that of the field.
  • The magnetic field of the earth can reverse and take different geometry. Sometimes, its intensity is very strong and at other times it is weak.
  • The magnetic minerals in melts bear these records.
  • As new materials are brought up, they get magnetized.

How can a small spark start a huge explosion? using electric forces and molecules
OLga [1]

Answer:

Small sparks can lead to huge explosion if they are left unattended.

Explanation:

Small sparks are not harmful but if these sparks happen near some hazardous material or object then it could lead to heavy explosion. If there is some chemical substance near the spark or there are magnetic lines which can explode the spark then these minor sparks could result in heavy disastrous explosion.

Consider the standing wave pattern below created by a string fixed at both ends. The string is under a tension of 0.98 N and has
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

11.07Hz

Explanation:

Check the attachment for diagram of the standing wave in question.

Formula for calculating the fundamental frequency Fo in strings  is V/2L where;

V is the velocity of the wave in string

L is the length of the string which is expressed as a function of its wavelength.

The wavelength of the string given is 1.5λ(one loop is equivalent to 0.5 wavelength)

Therefore L = 1.5λ

If L = 3.0m

1.5λ = 3.0m

λ = 3/1.5

λ = 2m

Also;

V = √T/m where;

T is the tension = 0.98N

m is the mass per unit length = 2.0g = 0.002kg

V = √0.98/0.002

V = √490

V = 22.14m/s

Fo = V/2L (for string)

Fo = 22.14/2(3)

Fo = 22.14/6

Fo = 3.69Hz

Harmonics are multiple integrals of the fundamental frequency. The string in question resonates in 2nd harmonics F2 = 3Fo

Frequency of the wave = 3×3.69

Frequency of the wave = 11.07Hz
