Answer:
The block has an acceleration of 
Explanation:
By means of Newton's second law it can be determine the acceleration of the block.
(1)
Where
represents the net force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.
(2)
The forces present in x are
and
(the friction force):

Notice that
subtracts to
since it is at the opposite direction.

The forces present in y balance each other:

Therefore:
(3)
But
and writing (3) in terms of a it is get:

So the block has an acceleration of
.
If you mean the SI Unit of GPE, the answer is J for Joules.
if that's not the question being asked, i would need a little more elaboration please :)
Answer:
1/8
Explanation:
17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...
(1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8
1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.
Answer:
A box sits stationary on a ramp
Explanation:
Static friction is a force which keeps an object at rest as it is in the case of the box. It has to be overcome for the object to be set into motion.
Static force of friction is calculated as follows:
F= μη
F is static force of friction.
μ is the coefficient of static friction.
η is the normal force.
