A stationary 15 kg object is located in a table near the surface of the earth. The coefficient of static friction between the su

rfaces is 0.40 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.25.
A horizontal force of 20 N is applied to the object.
Determine the acceleration of the object.

maximum static friction acting on the object will be

F_s = \mu_s mg

plug in all values

F_s = 0.40 \times 15 \times 9.8 = 58.8 N

So here it means that if applied force is less than or equal to 58.8 N then the object will remain stationary as friction can balance the external force upto this limit of external force

So here it is given that applied force is 20 N

so here object will not move due to this force and it will remain at rest always

due to this applied force

What is refractive index​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In optics, the refractive index of a material is a dimensionless number that describes how fast light travels through the material. It is defined as where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the phase velocity of light in the medium or for short the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to its velocity in a specified medium.

Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are ____.
Alchen [17]

Answer: The correct answer is balanced force.

Explanation:

Balanced forces are balanced when the forces are acting equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. The balanced forces will not cause change in the speed of the object.

Unbalanced forces are unbalanced when the forces acting on the object are not equal in magnitude. The combined force is the difference between the forces. It will cause the change in the speed of the body.

Therefore, forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are balanced.

A uniform 40-N board supports two children weighing 500 N and 350 N. If the support is at the center of the board and the 500-N
serg [7]

Answer:

b= 2.14 m

Explanation:

Given that

Weight of the board ,wt = 40 N

Wight of the first children , wt₁=500 N

Weight of the second children ,wt₂ = 350 N

The distance of the 500 N child from center ,a= 1.5 m

lets take distance of the 350 N child from center = b m

Now by taking the moment about the center of the board

We know that moment = Force x Perpendicular distance from the force

wt₁ x a = wt₂ x b

500 x 1.5 = 350 x b

b= 2.14 m

Therefore the distance of the 350 N weight child from the center is 2.14 m.

Express 79 m in units of (a) centimeters
dem82 [27]

Answer: a) 7,00 centimeters

(b) 259. 19 feet

(c) 3110.28 inches

(d) 0.049 miles

Explanation:

(a) We know that 1 meter = 100 centimeters

Therefore,

79\ m= 7,900\text{ centimeters}

(b)Since 1 meter = 3.28084 feet

Then, 79\ m= 79\times3.28084=259.18636\approx 259.19\text{ feet}

(c) Since, 1 feet = 12 inches.

79\ m=259.19\text{ feet}=259.19\times12=3110.28\text{ inches}

(d) \text{Since 1 feet= }\dfrac{1}{5280}\text{ mile}

79\ m=259.19\text{ feet}=\dfrac{259.19}{5280}= 0.0490890151515\approx0.049\text{ miles}

Why aren't there lunar and solar eclipses every month?
Shalnov [3]

The moon's orbital plane is different from that of the earth's orbit around the sun due to which lunar and solar eclipses do not occur every month.

<h3 /><h3>What is a solar eclipse?</h3>

When the moon passes in front of Earth and the sun, it creates a solar eclipse and casts a shadow across the globe.

Only during the new moon phase, when the moon travels squarely between the sun and Earth and casts shadows on its surface, can a solar eclipse occur.

Due to the moon's orbit being five degrees off-center from Earth's orbit around the Sun, lunar eclipses do not happen every month and the Moon often passes above or below the shadow.

Lunar eclipses would happen every month if there were no tilt. Eclipses of the sun and the moon happen equally often.

Hence lunar and solar eclipses aren't coming every month.

To learn more about the solar eclipse refer;
