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.

How many valence electrons are in alkali metals
tatuchka [14]
If you look on the periodic table you will see the top group elements depending on how the elements relate to each in the column. All of the elements in that column show they all have 1 electron in their valence shell. Some of the chemicals in that family or group are Sodium, Lithium, Potassium. The are very reactive because they only have one electron and what 7 more to become stable.

Finger [1]
Density is directly proportional to mass. So if there's less matter inside object, its density will also reduce.

A wave amplitude 0.36m interferes with a second wave of amplitude 0.22m traveling in the same direction. What is the largest res
DerKrebs [107]
The largest resultant amplitude would be that created by constructive interference, basically when the two waves are of the same phase, so it would be 0.36m+0.22m= 0.58 m.

What would a series circuit be used for?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

a series circuit would be an odd choice to power a battery or light a lamp when a direct would be much more efficient, and it's not converting types of energy, so C is the best possible answer

What happens to the particles in water as the water is heated and turns to vapor? (2 points)
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The particles will more likely to move faster since they are converted from a liquid to gas.

Rules for States of Matter:

1. Solid particles always are packed close together and don't have much space to move.

2. Liquid particles have space to move around but are still packed together, but not as close as solid.

3. Gas particles are moving freely, in fact they are in the air! Gas particles are free to move wherever. For example, the air has gas particles that are constantly bumping into each other.

Let me know if I am right =)
