A block whose weight is 45 N rests on a horizontal table. A horizontal force of 36 N is applied to the block. The coefficient of

kinetic and static friction are 0.65 and 0.42, respectively. Will the block move under the influence of the force, and if so, what will be the blocks acceleration?

Answer:

1.5 m/s²

Explanation:

For the block to move, it must first overcome the static friction.

Fs = N μs

Fs = (45 N) (0.42)

Fs = 18.9 N

This is less than the 36 N applied, so the block will move.  Since the block is moving, kinetic friction takes over.  To find the block's acceleration, use Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

F − N μk = ma

36 N − (45 N) (0.65) = (45 N / 9.8 m/s²) a

6.75 N = 4.59 kg a

a = 1.47 m/s²

Rounded to two significant figures, the block's acceleration is 1.5 m/s².

Usually the coefficient of static friction is greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.  You might want to double check the problem statement, just to be sure.

HELP ME ASAP PLEASE!!!!!
solmaris [256]

Answer:

f λ = c = 3.00E8      frequency * wavelength = speed of light

λ = c / f = 3.00E8 / 4.0E14 = 7.5E-7 m

Note 1 angstrom = 1.00E-10 m and 1 milli-micron = 1.00E-9 m

So the wavelength would be 7500 angstroms

The visible spectrum is 4000 A - 7000 A  or 400 - 700 milli-microns

Which is a correct statement of the second law of thermodynamics? Entropy of the universe is constantly increasing. Nature allow
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Entropy of the universe is constantly increasing.

Explanation:

Entropy is the loss of available energy when it is in transit. The entropy of a system increases consuming the energy, this energy is now unavailable for doing the work or making the corresponding changes in the property of a system.

Entropy is the measure of randomness of a system. It is a toll that the nature takes for energy in transit.

The second law of thermodynamics concludes that all the energy cannot be transformed from one form to another and the flow of energy has a specific direction.

If a reversible process occurs, there is no net change in entropy. In an irreversible process, entropy always increases, so the change in entropy is positive. The total entropy of the universe is continuously increasing.
