Answer
Any force greater 490N
Explanation
The force required just to make an object slide over a rough horizontal surface is any force greater that the static friction which given by;
Given;
Hence;
F = 0.5 x 100 x 9.8
F = 490N.
We will only need the coefficient of kinetic friction if we were asked to find the force required to keep the object moving uniformly. Usually, the force needed to keep an object moving uniformly over a rough surface is lesser that which is needed to start its motion.
In this problem, we were only asked to find the minimum force required to make the object move which we have done.
The study of motion is called kinematics.
Producers get energy from the sun to make food from matter.
Answer:
The objects become oppositely charged and have equal amounts of charge.
Explanation:
There are three methods for charging objects:
- Conduction: a charged object is brought in contact with a neutral object. Electrons are transferred from the charged object to the neutral one, which also becomes charged
- Induction: a charged object is brought close (but not in contact) to a neutral object. The charges inside the neutral object redistribute, such that those of opposite sign to the charge in the charged object migrate on the side closer to the charged object, while the charges of same sign migrate towards the opposite side. If the neutral object is then grounded, the charges on the opposite side flow to the ground, leaving the neutral object charged as well
- Friction: two objects initially neutral are rubbed against each other. Electrons move from one object to the other one: therefore, one object becomes positively charged while the other one becomes negatively charged. Since the charge gained by one object is equal to charge lost by the other object, it follows that the two objects have same magnitude of charge, but with opposite sign.
