Answer:

C.

Explanation:

A person pushing a couch will face resistive force of friction . When resistive force is greater then his force of effort , couch will not move. This force is static friction because the couch is stationary. When the force of effort is increased , magnitude of static friction also increases keeping the couch stationary. The ability of the static friction to increase its magnitude is limited by a maximum value beyond which the couch starts moving. The static friction is then converted into kinetic friction.

In rest of the three cases object is already moving so kinetic friction is in action.

Can someone help me for this question?​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

A, 0.050 Hz

Explanation:

1) Frequency = speed divided by wavelength

time is 2* 60 = 120 seconds

distance = 6 wave lengths

speed = distance divided by time

speed = 6 wave lengths divided by 120

Hope this helps!

Why is electric current scalar quantity with having direction ?​
frez [133]

Explanation:

It represents the direction of flow of positive charge but is treated as a scalar quantity because current follows the laws of scalar addition and not the laws of vector addition. The angle between the wires carrying current does not affect the total current in the circuit.

A 70.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.60 m/s^2, What is the net external force (in N) on him? (Enter the ma
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

External force on him will be 112 N

Explanation:

We have given the mass of the sprinter m =70 kg

Acceleration of the sprinter a=1.6m/sec^2

We have to find the net external force

According to second law of motion force = mass ×acceleration

Force is dependent on the mass and acceleration

So F=70\times 1.6=112 N

So external force will be 112 N

A 0.90-kg falcon is diving at 28.0 m/s at a downward angle of 35° . It catches a 0.325-kg pigeon from behind in midair. What is
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

22.11 m / s

Explanation:

The falcon catches the prey from behind means both are flying in the same direction ( suppose towards the left )

initial velocity of falcon = 28 cos 35 i - 28 sin 35 j  

( falcon was flying in south east direction making 35 degree from the east )

momentum = .9 ( 28 cos 35 i - 28 sin 35 j  )

= 20.64 i - 14.45 j

initial velocity of pigeon

= 7 i

initial momentum = .325 x 7i

= 2.275 i

If final velocity of composite mass of falcon and pigeon be V

Applying law of conservation of momentum

( .9 + .325) V = 20.64 i - 14.45 j +2.275 i

V = ( 22.915 i - 14.45 j ) / 1.225

= 18.70 i - 11.8 j

magnitude of V

= √ [  (18.7 )² + ( 11.8 )²]

= 22.11 m / s
