Answer:

Force of friction is (-30 N).

Explanation:

The force applied on the box across the floor is 30 N.

The force of gravity is (-8 N) and the the normal force is 8 N.

It is based on Newton's third law of motion. Newton's third law of motion states that the force acting on object 1 to object 2 is equal in magnitude of the force from object 2 to 1 but in opposite direction.

Here there is force of 30 N is applied in horizontal direction. The frictional force act in opposite direction. So, the force of friction is -30 N so that box across the floor.

What are the three rules for writing the electron configuration of elements

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The aufbau principle

The Pauli exclusion principle

Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity

Explanation:

The aufbau principle:

The fundamental electronic configuration is achieved by placing the electrons one by one in the different orbitals available for the atom, which are arranged in increasing order of energy.

The Pauli exclusion principle:

Two electrons of the same atom cannot have their four equal quantum numbers. Because each orbital is defined by the quantum numbers n, l, and m, there are only two possibilities ms = -1/2 and ms = +1/2, which physically reflects that each orbital can contain a maximum of two electrons, having opposite spins

Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:

This rule says that when there are several electrons occupying degenerate orbitals, of equal energy, they will do so in different orbitals and with parallel spins, whenever this is possible. Because electrons repel each other, the minimum energy configuration is one that has electrons as far away as possible from each other, and that is why they are distributed separately before two electrons occupy the same orbital.

Okay i'm totally stuck and nobody I know really gets it either, so i've turned to Yahoo for help :)

Here is the rule for see-saws here on Earth, and there is no reason
to expect that it doesn't work exactly the same anywhere else:

 (weight) x (distance from the pivot) on one side
is equal to
 (weight) x (distance from the pivot) on the other side.

That's why, when Dad and Tiny Tommy get on the see-saw, Dad sits
closer to the pivot and Tiny Tommy sits farther away from it.

 (Dad's weight) x (short length) = (Tiny Tommy's weight) x (longer length).

So now we come to the strange beings on the alien planet.
There are three choices right away that both work:

#1).
(400 N) in the middle-seat, facing (200 N) in the end-seat.

 (400) x (1) = (200) x (2)

#2).
(200 N) in the middle-seat, facing (100 N) in the end-seat.

 (200) x (1) = (100) x (2)

#3).

On one side: (300 N) in the end-seat (300) x (2) = 600

On the other side:
 (400 N) in the middle-seat (400) x (1) = 400
 and (100 N) in the end-seat (100) x (2) = 200
Total . . . . . . . . . . . . 600

These are the only ones to be identified at Harvard . . . . . . .
There may be many others but they haven't been discarvard.

I would think that you would have to do 42/2=21Hz, but I'm not sure...
