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

How much potential energy does a 40n block medicine ball gain when it is lifted 5.m
MAVERICK [17]
By definition, the gain in PE (potential energy) is
ΔPE = m*g*h

Given:
mg = 40 N  (Note that m*g = weight)
h = 5 m

ΔPE = (40 N)*(5 m) =200 J

Answer: 200 J

Why won't a very bright beam of red light impart more energy to an ejected electron than a feeble beam of violet light?
bearhunter [10]
This is related to the energy carried by photons of light the energy of each photon is proportional to the frequency of the light since red light has a lower frequency then violet light and photons of red light carry less energy than the photons of violet light as a result the red protons eject electrons that have less energy than the ejected electrons by Violet photons

In models of magnetic and electric fields, why are field vectors depicted by arrows?
taurus [48]

The arrows in models of magnetic and electric fields show  both their magnitude and direction.

In Physics, a vector refers to a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Hence, a vector always points in a given direction. The direction in which the arrow points is the direction of the vector in space.

In models of magnetic and electric fields, field vectors depicted by arrows  because they represent both their magnitude and direction. The length of the arrow shows magnitude.
