A 4.00-kg box sits atop a 10.0-kg box on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two boxes and betwe

en the lower box and the table is 0.600, while the coefficient of static friction between these same surfaces is 0.800. A horizontal pull to the right is exerted on the lower box, as shown in the figure, and the boxes move together. What is the friction force on the UPPER box?

First, we have to calculate the normal forces on different surfaces.The normal force on the 4.00 kg, N1 = (4)(9.8) = 39.2 N. The normal force on the 10.0 kg, N2 = (14)(9.8) = 137.2 N. Looking at the 10.0 kg block, the static forces that counteract the pulling force equals the sum of the friction from the two surfaces. Fc = N1 * 0.80 + N2 * 0.80 = 141.12 N. Since the counter force is less than the pulling force, the blocks start to move and hence, kinetic frictions are considered.


Therefore, f1 = uk * N1 = (0.60)(39.2) = 23.52 N.

One of the factors that determines the ? of a capacitor is the frequency measured in hertz.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The reactance of the capacitor

Explanation:

In an AC circuit containing different elements (capacitors, resistors and inductors), we cannot simply calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit, so another quantity is used, which is called reactance.

For a capacitor, the reactance is given by:

X=\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}

where:

f is the frequency of the AC current in the circuit

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

The reactance has a similar meaning to that of the resistance for a DC current. In fact, we notice that:

- When f=0 (which means we are in regime of DC current, because the current never changes direction), the reactance is infinite. This is correct: in a DC circuit, the capacitor does not let current pass through it, so it like it has infinite resistance (=infinite reactance)

- When f tends to infinite, the reactance becomes zero: in such situation, the current in the circuit changes direction so quickly that the capacitor has no enough time to "block" the current in the circuit, so it like it has almost zero resistance (zero reactance).

Two bodies fall freely from different heights and reach the ground simultaneously. The time of descent for the first body is 1s
jok3333 [9.3K]
The initial height of the first body is given by:
h_1 =  \frac{1}{2}gt^2
where
g is the gravitational acceleration
t is the time it takes for the body to reach the ground
Substituting t=1 s, we find
h_1 =  \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(1 s)^2=4.9 m

The second body takes takes t=2 s to reach the ground, so it was located at an initial height of
h_2 =  \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2 s)^2=19.6 m

The second body started its fall 1 second before the first body, therefore when the second body started its fall, the first body was located at its initial height, i.e. at 4.9 m from the ground.

Light of wavelength 436.1 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.31 mm apart. What is the required distance from the slits to the screen
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The correct answer is "4.26 m".

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength,

\lambda = 436.1 \ nm

or,

  =436.1\times 10^{-9} \ m

Distance,

d = 0.31 \ mm

or,

  =0.31\times 10^{-3} \ m

Distance between the 1st and 2nd dark fringes,

(y_2-y_1) = 6\times 10^{-3} \ m

As we know,

⇒ \frac{d}{L} (y_2-y_1) = \lambda

or,

⇒ L=\frac{d(y_2-y_1)}{\lambda}

By substituting the values, we get

       =\frac{0.31\times 6\times 10^{-6}}{436.1\times 10^{-9}}

       =\frac{0.31\times 6\times 10^3}{436.1}

       =\frac{1860}{436.1}

       =4.26 \ m
