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.

A parallel plate capacitor is created by placing two large square conducting plates of length and width 0.1m facing each other,
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

8.854 pF

Explanation:

side of plate = 0.1 m ,

d = 1 cm = 0.01 m,

V = 5 kV = 5000 V

V' = 1 kV = 1000 V

Let K be the dielectric constant.

So, V' = V / K

K = V / V' = 5000 / 1000 = 5

C = ε0 A / d = 8.854 x 10^-12 x 0.1 x 0.1 / 0.01 = 8.854 x 10^-12 F

C = 8.854 pF

In the z-scheme ____ is the initial electron donor and ____ is the final electron acceptor.
Alenkinab [10]

In the z-scheme, water is the initial electron donor and NADP+ is the final electron acceptor.

<u>Explanation: </u>

It is a process of photosynthesis. It occurs in photosynthetic chemical reaction. The z scheme is basically a term for representing the oxidation and reduction reaction occurring in plants during photosynthesis.

The water present in the chlorophyll pigment donates electrons and become the initial electron donor. Those electrons get transferred to NADP+ and forms NADPH. Thus, water acts as electron donor initially and so the final electron is NADP+.

Suppose the glass paperweight has index of refraction n=1.38. a) find the value of θ for which the reflection on the vertical su
zimovet [89]

Answer:

a)θ=71.89°

b)NO

Explanation:

Given that

For glass n= 1.38

We know that for air n'=1

The angle  for total internal reflection θc given as

sin θc=n'/n

By putting the values

sin θc=n'/n

sin θc=1/1.38

θc=46.43°

n'sinθ = n sinθref

sinθref = cosθc

n'sinθ =  n cosθc

1 x sinθ =1.38 x cos 46.43°

θ=71.89°

b)

NO

What force is required to move an object 8 m using 24 j of work?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

3N

Explanation:

Workdone = F x d

F = force

d = distance 8m

Workdone = 24J

24 = F x 8

Divide both sides by 8

24/8 = F x 8/8

3 = F

F = 3N

Which is heavier?<br> A kilogram of steel? <br> or<br> A kilogram of feathers?
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: below

Explanation: 1kg of steel is slightly heavier than 1 kg of feathers. 1 kg of feather will displace more air as the density of feather is very less comparitively. More the volume displaced more is the upthrust and less the apparent weight.
