When attempting to develop better decision making skills, communication with peers should be kept to a minimum. True or false

Lerok [7]

Answer:

An <u>applied force</u> is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. If a person is pushing a desk across the room, then there is an applied force acting upon the object. The applied force is the force exerted on the desk by the person.

A <u>friction force</u> is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it. There are at least two types of friction force - sliding and static friction. Though it is not always the case, the friction force often opposes the motion of an object. For example, if a book slides across the surface of a desk, then the desk exerts a friction force in the opposite direction of its motion. Friction results from the two surfaces being pressed together closely, causing intermolecular attractive forces between molecules of different surfaces. As such, friction depends upon the nature of the two surfaces and upon the degree to which they are pressed together. The maximum amount of friction force that a surface can exert upon an object can be calculated using the formula below:

$F_{frict}$ = µ • $F_{norm}$

Two forces act on an object. One force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, and the other force has a magnitude of 2 N direct

xeze [42]

Answer:

8 N North.

Explanation:

Given that,

One force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, and the other force has a magnitude of 2 N directed south.

We need to find the magnitude of net force acting on the object.

Let North is positive and South is negative.

Net force,

F = 10 N +(-2 N)

= 8 N

So, the magnitude of net force on the object is 8 N and it is in North direction (as it is positive). Hence, the correct option is (d) "8N north".

A sphere of volume 1.20×10−3m3 hangs from a cable. When the sphere is completely submerged in water, the tension in the cable is

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

B = 62.9 N

Explanation:

This is an exercise on Archimedes' principle, where the thrust force equals the weight of the liquid

B = ρ g V

write the equilibrium equation

T + B -W = 0

B = W- T (1)

use the density to write the weight

ρ = m / V

m = ρ V

W = ρ g V

substitute in 1

B = m g -T

B = $\rho_{body}$ g V - T

To finish the calculation, the density of the material must be known, suppose it is steel \rho_{body} = 7850 kg / m³

calculate

B = 7850 9.8 1.20 10⁻³ - 29.4

B = 92.3 - 29.4

B = 62.9 N

If you place a glass cylinder in Wessin Oil, the view of the cylinder nearly disappeared when the eyedropper was full of Wessin

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

A. the indices of refraction matched

Explanation:

The index of refraction, or refractive

index, is a measure of how fast light

rays travel through a given medium.

Alternatively, it could be said that

the refractive index is the measure of

the bending of a light ray when

passing from one medium to

another. Mathematically, it can be

represented as a ratio between two

different velocities – the velocity of

light in vacuum and the velocity of

light in a given medium.

For example, try putting a pencil in a jar full of water. If you look at the pencil from above, it would look as though the pencil has bent in the water. That happens due to the refraction of light. It occurs because as light rays enter water, they slow down, as the speed of light in water is lower than the speed of light in air. The magnitude of how much a medium refracts a light ray is determined by the index

A transfer of charge is actually a gross movement of

son4ous [18]

A transfer of charge is actually a gross movement of electrons. Charged objects have a normal or "balanced" state. This state is balanced in a sense of positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons). When an object has an excess of deficiency of electrons, it will try to regain its balance by releasing or accepting electrons.
