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.

What is the internal energy of 3.00mol of N2 gas at 25c?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

18600j

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of moles = 3

Temperature, T = 25°C = 25+273 = 298 K

The internal energy of N₂ gas is given by :

U=f\times nRTU=f×nRT

f is degrees of freedom. For diatomic gas, degree of freedom is equal to 5/2. So,

\begin{gathered}U=\dfrac{5}{2}\times 3\times 8.31\times 298\\\\U=18572.85\ J\end{gathered}

U=

2

5×3×8.31×298

U=18572.85 J

or

U = 18600 J

So, the internal energy of the gas is 18,600 J
