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.

Reasons<br> why using mirrors to generate electricity is not a common practice.

olganol [36]

A big part of the reason that mirrors are seldom if ever used to generate
electricity is the simple fact that there is no way to generate electricity using
mirrors. They are as useless for the purpose as smoke is, although there are
those who have used both items simultaneously to create the impression that
they have succeeded in that attempt.

Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that;

horizontal circle at a rate of 2.33 revolutions per second

the magnetic field of the Earth is 0.500 gauss

the baton is 60.1 cm in length.

the magnetic field is oriented at 14.42°

we wil get the area due to rotation of radius of baton is

$\Delta A = \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2$

The formula for the induced emf is

$E = \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

$\phi = \texttt {magnetic flux}$

$E=\frac{\Delta (BA) }{\Delta t}$

$=B\frac{\Delta A}{\Delta t}$

B is the magnetic field strength

substitute

$\texttt {substitute}\ \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2 \ \ for \Delta A$

$E=B\frac{(\Delta \theta R^3/2)}{\Delta t} \\\\=\frac{1}{2} BR^2\omega$

The magnetic field of the earth is oriented at 14.42

$\omega =2.33\\\\L=60.1c,\\\\\theta=14.42\\\\B=0.5$

we plug in the values in the equation above

so, the induce EMF will be

$E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)R^2\omega\\\\E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)(\frac{L}{2} )\omega$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times0.5gauss\times\frac{0.0001T}{1gauss} \times\sin 14.42\times(\frac{60.1\times10^-^2m}{2} )^2(2.33rev/s)(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev} )\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.2490\times0.0903\times14.63982\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.32917\\\\=8.229\times10^-^6V$

The pupil of the human eye can vary in diameter from 2.00 mm in bright light to 8.00 mm in dim light. The eye has a focal length

Zarrin [17]

The indicated data are of clear understanding for the development of Airy's theory. In optics this phenomenon is described as an optical phenomenon in which The Light, due to its undulatory nature, tends to diffract when it passes through a circular opening.

The formula used for the radius of the Airy disk is given by,

$y_r=1.22\frac{\lambda f}{d}$

Where,

$y_r =$ Range of the radius

$\lambda =$ wavelength

f= focal length

Our values are given by,

State 1:

$d=2.00mm = 2*10^{-3}m$

$f= 25mm = 25*10^{-3}m$

$\lambda = 750nm = 750*10^{-9}m$

State 2:

$d=8.00mm = 8*10^{-3}m$

$f= 25mm = 25*10^{-3}m$

$\lambda = 390nm = 390*10^{-9}$

Replacing in the first equation we have:

$y_{r1} = 1.22\frac{(750*10^{-9})(25*10^{-3})}{2*10^{-3}}$

$y_{r1}= 11.4\mu m$

And also for,

$y_{r2} =1.22\frac{(390*10^{-9})(25*10^{-3})}{8*10^{-3}}$

$y_{r2} = 1.49\mu m$

Therefor, the airy disk radius ranges from $1.49\mu m$ to $11.4\mu m$
