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

Every football field has two 300kg field goal posts separated by 110m of football field (that includes the endzones). What is th
Mama L [17]

Answer:

4.96×10¯¹⁰ N

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass 1 (M1) = 300 Kg

Mass 2 (M2) = 300 Kg

Separating distance (r) = 110 m

Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²

Gravitational force (F) =?

The gravitational force between the two goal posts can be obtained as follow:

F = GM1M2 / r²

F = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 300 × 300 / 110²

F = 6.003×10¯⁶ / 12100

F = 4.96×10¯¹⁰ N

Therefore the gravitational force between the two goal posts is 4.96×10¯¹⁰ N

The _____ inside the stratosphere blocks ultraviolet radiation. apex
podryga [215]
The ozone layer that is inside the stratosphere blocks UV radiation.

The ozone layer contains high concentrations of ozone relative to other parts of the atmosphere. This was discovered by Charles Fabry and Henri Buisson who are both French Physicists. 

The ozone in the earth's stratosphere is created through ultraviolet light striking a group of ordinary oxygen molecules containing two oxygen atoms, subsequently splitting them into individual oxygen atoms and finally these said atomic oxygen then combines with unbroken O2 to create ozone (O3).
