First you need to make a difference between friction while object is stationary and the friction while object is moving. Force required to start moving some object is slightly greater than force required to maintain objects movement. That means that to move a chair you need some force F1 but you can than slightly reduce force and chair will still be moving.

Now to the problem in this question: It can be said that "stationary friction force" is equal to 15 Newtons. Its also good to know that friction force between chair and floor while you are increasing your push is also increasing and is equal to force of your push. Once it reaches 15N which is it "critical value" for that chair, chair starts moving and friction force drops a little bit and now it is called friction force of moving chair.

Ixchelt burns her tongue when she takes a sip of hot coffee from her mug. Which part of this example represents heat?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

"The thermal energy moving from her coffee to the tongue" represent the heat.

Here coffee is at high temperature while tongue is at low temperature, when Ixchelt tongue make contact with coffee then thermal energy of coffee is absorbed by tongue and tongue gets burned.

As heat always from high Potential to low that is why heat is absorbed by tongue.

A projectile is fired with initial speed vo at an angle of 45o above the horizontal. Assume no air resistance.
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is a

Explanation:

At projectile launch speeds are

X axis     vₓ = v₀ = cte

Y axis     v_{y} = v_{oy} –gt

The moment is defined as

         p = mv

For the x axis

         pₓ = mvₓ = m v₀ₓ

As the speed is constant the moment is constant

For the y axis

        p_{y} = m v_{y} = m (v_{oy} –gt) = m v_{oy} - m (gt)

Speed ​​changes over time, so the moment also changes over time

Let's examine the answer

i   True

ii False.  The moment changes with time

The correct answer is a

determine the maximum angle theta for which the light rays incident on the end of the optical fiber of radius 1 mm are subhect t
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the critical angle be C .

sinC = 1 / μ where μ is index of refraction .

sinC = 1 /1.2

= .833

C = 56°

Then angle of refraction r = 90 - 56 = 34 ( see the image in attached file )

sin i / sinr = 1.2 , i is angle of incidence

sini = 1.2 x sinr = 1.2 x sin 34 = .67

i = 42°.
