Answer:

<em>Magnitude of frictional force = 30 N</em>

Explanation:

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

Fn=m.a

The net force is the vector addition of each individual force. If the sum of all the forces acting on an object is zero, then the acceleration is zero. That means the object moves at a constant speed or is at rest.

When an object is pushed across a horizontal rough surface, there are two forces acting in the direction of the motion: The applied force and the frictional force.

If the applied force is greater than the frictional force, then the object moves at a constant positive acceleration. If the frictional force is greater than the applied force, then the object won't move at all (if it was at rest) or will start a deaccelerated motion (braking).

Finally, if both forces are equal, the object will move at a constant speed or remains at rest. Since the box is moving at a constant speed, we can conclude the frictional force equals the applied force:

Magnitude of frictional force = 30 N

On a cold winters da,y,If you left a drink setting outside,it could freeze.Explain why in a complete sentence
sertanlavr [38]
Hello!

On a cold winters day, if you left a drink setting outside, it could freeze because the heat (related to the kinetic energy) of the atoms in the drink will be transferred to the environment to achieve energy equilibrium. 

Heat transfer occurs by various mechanisms, flowing from the hottest body to the coldest, that's why the heat goes from the drink, which has a higher temperature (and kinetic energy) to the environment, which has a lower temperature. This is described by the second law of thermodynamics

As a substance is changing from a liquid to a gas, the distance
bonufazy [111]

As a substance is changing from a liquid to a gas, the distance between its molecules increases, and the temperature of the system remains the same.

Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The external energy required to change from one state to another is mostly considered as temperature. So on increase in temperature, the solid changes to liquid and the liquid changes to gases. But the temperature remains constant in the system after changing the phase.

This is because when the temperature is increased on a liquid system, the rise in temperature is utilized for breaking the bonds and thus the molecules will be distanced from each other. If we consider liquid - gas phase transition, the gas molecules are farther distanced compared to liquid molecules.

So the rise in temperature is utilized for breaking the bonds and also to provide the kinetic energy to the gas molecules as they are tend to move more freely compared to liquid. Thus, the distance between the molecules increases, and the temperature of the system remains the same on changing from liquid to gas.
