Block A, with mass mA, is initially at rest on a horizontal floor. Block B, with mass mB, is initially at rest on the horizontal

top surface of A. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is μs. Block A is pulled with a horizontal force. It begins to slide out from under B if the force is greater than:
(A) mA*g
(B) mB*g
(C) μs*mA*g
(D) μs*mB*g
(E) μs(mA +mB)g

Answer:

(E) μs(mA +mB)g

Explanation:

We can apply for mB:

∑ Fx = mB*a   (→)

⇒  Ffriction = mB*a   ⇒  a = Ffriction / mB = μs*N / mB

⇒ a = μs*(mB*g) / mB  ⇒   a = μs*g    (acceleration of the system)

Now, for mA we have

∑ Fx = mA*a   (→)

F - Ffriction = mA*a      ⇒  F = mA*a + Ffriction  

⇒     F = mA*(μs*g) + μs*(mB*g)   ⇒   F = μs*g*(mA + mB)

We must know that the friction acts only between the two blocks

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.

What is the source of geothermal power
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: Geothermal energy is produced by the heat of Earth's molten interior. This energy is harnessed to generate electricity when water is injected deep underground and returns as steam (or hot water, which is later converted to steam) to drive a turbine on an electric power generator.

Explanation: Hope this helps!

A 1000-kg car traveling at 70 m/s takes 3 m to stop under full braking. the same car under similar road conditions, traveling at
azamat
We assume a=const (acceleration is constant. We apply the equation
v^2=v0^2+2as where s is the distance to stop v=0(m/s). We find the acceleration from this equation
a=-v0^2/(2s)=-70^2/(2*3) =-816.7 (m/s^2)

We know the acceleration, thus we find the distance necesssary to stop when initial speed is v=140 (m/s)
s=-v0^2/(2a) =140^2/(2*816.7)=12 (m)

You walk into the living room and find your family watching a nature documentary on PBS. Which lens does this network fall under
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Natural Sciences

Explanation:

This network would fall under the lens of Natural Sciences. This is based on what the family is currently watching. Nature documentaries focus on our Planet as well as all the wildlife in it. In these documentaries, they talk about how and why certain things in nature occur. All of this would be considered educational information on the subjects of Earth Science and Biology which are main subcategories under the lens of Natural Sciences.
