Answer:

A)

Explanation:

If both boxes are at rest, this means that the friction force must be equal to the component of the gravity force, trying to accelerate the box down the incline.

If the angle that the incline forms with the horizontal is θ, the component of the weight along the incline is as follows:

Fgp = m*g*sinθ

As sin θ is different for the 30-degree incline than for the 45-degree one, the components of  the weight along the incline, that must be equal to the friction forces (due to the boxes are at rest), can't be equal each other, as masses are the same.

So, the frictional forces acting on the two boxes have NOT the same magnitude, so A) is FALSE.

All the other choices are true.

E) Thermal energy is released during
vichka [17]

Answer:

e) True, f) False

Explanation:

e) Let consider a close system, that is, a system with no mass interactions with surroundings. Then, we get the following expression by the First Law of Thermodynamics:

Q_{net,in} - W_{net, out} = \Delta U (1)

Where:

Q_{net, in} - Net input heat, measured in joules.

W_{net, out} - Net output work, measured in joules.

\Delta U - Change in thermal energy, measured in joules.

Please notice that work comprises all kind of work (i.e. mechanical, electric, magnetic), whereas heat comprises all heat interactions including chemical and radioactive phenomena.

If thermal energy is released, then \Delta U < 0, which is caused by three scenarios:

(i) Q_{net,in} < 0, W_{net, out} < 0, |Q_{net,in}|>|W_{net,out}|

(ii) Q_{net, in} > 0, W_{net,out} > 0, |Q_{net,in}|

(iii) Q_{net,in}< 0, W_{net, out}>0

In the case Q_{net,in} > 0, W_{net, out}, the thermal energy of the system is increased. Therefore, thermal energy is released during some energy conversions. Answer: True

f) A liquid solidifies when temperature goes below point of fusion, meaning a realease of heat with no work interactions. That is:

Q_{net, in} = \Delta U, Q_{net, in} < 0 (2)

If Q_{net, in} < 0, then  \Delta U < 0. Then, if a liquid absorbs heat energy, then thermal energy is increase and the liquid does not solidifies. Answer: False.

How many neutrons does an atom of Dubnium have in its nucleus
attashe74 [19]
Dubnium is a synthetic element ... Number 105.  It can be created
in a laboratory but it's not found in nature.

Fifteen (15) different isotopes of Dubnium have been created.  They all
have 105 protons in the nucleus of every atom, but they have anywhere
from 256 to 270 neutrons in each nucleus.

The most stable isotope of Dubnium is  ²⁶⁸Db , with 163 neutrons in the
nucleus.  That form of Dubnium atom has a 50-50 chance of surviving
for around 28 hours before it falls apart.
