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 would gravity cause planets to move if they did not have inertia?
daser333 [38]
I’d think the answer would be C. i’m just kinda guessing but my thought process is this (as simply as i can put it because physics is confusing):

so for example say you throw a ball across a flat surface. inertia is what keeps the ball rolling straight in a line, so unless you were to maybe put your hand in front of the ball or something, it would just go straight forever.

this is what happens with the planets. they go in a straight line, but since there’s gravity, the planets are also being pulled towards the sun. so gravity and inertia are why the planets orbit in the circle pattern they do. so when we remove inertia, we’re removing the state in which the planets keep going straight while being pulled towards a center point (the sun). this causes gravity to be the only factor in the planets orbiting. so that being said, the planets would just be pulled towards the sun. :)
