(A) The frictional forces acting on the two boxes have the same magnitude.
(B) The normal contact force acting on the first box is larger than the normal contact force acting on the second
(C) The gravitational forces acting on the two boxes have the same magnitude.
(D) The net forces acting on the boxes have equal magnitude.

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.

K-2/5=11k literal equations
krek1111 [17]
-2/5 = 11k - k
-2/5 = 10k
-2/5/10 = k
-2/5 * 10 = k
-2/50 = k
k = -1/25.

-1/25 - 2/5 = 11k is true.

Find the position of the center of mass of the system of the sun and Jupiter? (Since Jupiter is more massive than the rest of th
8090 [49]

Answer:

r_{cm} = 0.074 m from the position of the center of the Sun

Explanation:

As we know that mass of Sun and Jupiter is given as

M_s = 1.98 \times 10^{30} kg

M_j = 1.89 \times 10^{27} kg

distance between Sun and Jupiter is given as

r = 7.78 \times 10^{11} m

now let the position of Sun is origin and position of Jupiter is given at the position same as the distance between them

so we will have

r_{cm} = \frac{M_s r_1 + M_j r_2}{M_s + M_j}

r_{cm} = \frac{1.98 \times 10^{30} (0) + (1.89 \times 10^{27})(7.78 \times 10^{11})}{1.98 \times 10^{30} + 1.89 \times 10^{27}}

r_{cm} = 0.074 m from the position of the center of the Sun
