A box moves to the right along a rough, wooden surface. In which direction does the box experience a frictional force?

Physics
1 answer:
emmasim [6.3K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

To the left, in the opposite direction of the object's motion.

Explanation:

This is because friction always apposes motion, and will act to stop motion.

To stop the box, friction would have to act in the left direction.

A light beam in glass (n = 1.5) reaches an air-glass interface, at an angle of 60 degrees from the surface. What is the angle of
tester [92]

Answer:

θ₂ = 35.26°

Explanation:

given,

refractive index of air, n₁ = 1

refractive index of glass, n₂ = 1.5

angle of incidence, θ₁ = 60°

angle of refracted light, θ₂ = ?

using Snell's Law

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

1 x sin 60° = 1.5 sin θ₂

sin θ₂ = 0.577

θ₂ = sin⁻¹(0.577)

θ₂ = 35.26°

Hence, the refracted light is equal to  θ₂ = 35.26°

A block of mass 12.2 kg is sliding at an initial velocity of 6.65 m/s in the positive x-direction. The surface has a coefficient
valentina_108 [34]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the block, m = 12.2 kg

Initial velocity of the block, u = 6.65 m/s

The coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_k=0.253

(a)The force of kinetic friction is given by :

f=\mu_k mg

mg is the normal force

So,

f=0.253\times 12.2\times 9.8\\\\f=30.24\ N

(b) Net force acting on the block in the horizontal direction,

f = ma

a is the acceleration of the block

a=\dfrac{f}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{30.24}{12.2}\\\\a=2.47\ m/s^2

(c) Let d is the distance covered by the block before coming to the rest. Using third equation of motion as follows :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{-(6.65)^2}{2\times 2.47}\\\\d=-8.95\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

Convection is a mode of heat transfer for which types of objects? A. solids and liquids B. gases and solids C. gases only D. liq
Airida [17]

The correct answer to the question will be D). Liquids and gases.

EXPLANATION:

Convection is the type of mode of heat transfer in which there will be actual motion of particles from one part to the another part of a fluid.

In case of liquids, the particles which are present at the bottom of the container get heated up first and become lighter. The lighter particles will go up and the top heavier particles will move downward. Again the same process will be repeated. In this way, a convection cycle is produced.

For instance, heating of water.

In case of gases, same thing happens just like liquid. The air particles will be heated up first and becomes lighter. These heated particles will move upward. Due to this, an empty space will be created in that region. In order to occupy the empty space, the air will flow from another region which is at low temperature as compared to the heated region. Again, the same process will be repeated which will results into the formation of convection cycle .

Hence, convection occurs both in liquids and gases.

Could someone please explain what makes up the electromagnetic spectrum? Thank you.
faust18 [17]
These types include gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet, infrared, microwaves and radio waves. Together with visible light, all these types of radiation make up what we call the electromagnetic spectrum - the complete spectrum of radiation.
