Answer:

The necessary information is if the forces acting on the block are in equilibrium

The coefficient of friction is 0.577

Explanation:

Where the forces acting on the object are in equilibrium, we have;

At constant velocity, the net force acting on the particle = 0

However, the frictional force is then given as

F = mg sinθ

Where:

m = Mass of the block

g = Acceleration due to gravity and

θ = Angle of inclination of the slope

F = 5×9.81×sin 30 = 24.525 N

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is given as

24.525 N = μ×m×g × cos θ = μ × 5 × 9.81 × cos 30 = μ × 42.479

μ × 42.479 N= 24.525 N

∴ μ = 24.525 N ÷ 42.479 N = 0.577

Answer:

We only need the angle of inclination.

The coefficient of friction is 0.58

Explanation:

Check attachment for diagram

For a book placed on an inclined plane, the force acting on the object causing it to slide downwards is the moving Force (Fm).

Fm = Wsin(theta) = mgsin(theta)

The force opposing the moving force is the frictional force Ff

Ff = nR where

n is the coefficient of friction

R is the normal reaction = mgcos(theta)

For the body to have a constant velocity (not accelerate), then Fm =Ff and W = R

n = Ff/R

n = Fm/R

n = Wsintheta/Wcostheta

n = sintheta/costheta

n = tan(theta)

Given theta = 30°

n = tan 30°

n = 0.58

the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is 0.58

The calculation shows that the only information we need to get the coefficient of friction is the angle is inclination

Which is most likely a covalent compound?<br><br> LiF<br> MgS<br> NH3<br> CaCl2
Artemon [7]

Answer:

NH₃

Explanation:

The compound that is covalent from the given choices is NH₃.

Covalent compounds are usually formed between two atoms with similar values of electronegativities such that the difference is very small or zero.

  • This bond type involves the sharing of electrons between two atoms with similar electronegativities.
  • Nitrogen and hydrogen forms stable configuration that are isoelectronic with noble gases by sharing their valence electrons.
  • The 3 hydrogen electrons are enough to make nitrogen isoelectronic with neon.
  • Also, the nitrogen with 3 lone pairs of electrons provides the bonding hydrogen with needed electrons to attain a structure similar to helium.

lara [203]

Answer:

Standard deviation = 3

Explanation:

Given

N = 1201

SS = 10800

Required

Determine the standard deviation

First, we need to determine the variance;

Variance = \frac{SS}{N - 1}

This gives:

Variance = \frac{10800}{1201 - 1}

Variance = \frac{10800}{1200}

Variance = 9

Know that:

Variance = SD^2

Where SD represents standard deviation

This gives

9 = SD^2

Take square root

SD = \sqrt 9

SD = 3

12345 [234]

When I become a CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of a large company (like Amazon or Tesla), I would make the company more humane, with great parameters of working conditions, paying good salaries, so we would improve production and people would be happier , being an example to the whole world of a company that values and respects its employees.

<h3>Who is the CEO?</h3>

The CEO is essentially the highest-ranking executive in the company. He has most of the power. He reports directly to the board of directors. On the other hand, the president is below the CEO in the company hierarchy.

<h3>What does the CEO of a company do?</h3>

Direct the company's next steps through strategic planning; Take care, together with directors and shareholders of the company's health; Implement or modify processes within the company or sectors; Represent and relate to external audiences.

With this information, we can conclude that  I would make the company more humane, with great parameters of working conditions
