A filing cabinet weighing 556 N rests on the floor. The coefficient of static friction between it and the floor is 0.68, and the

coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.56. In four different attempts to move it, it is pushed with horizontal forces of magnitudes
(a) 222 N,
(b) 334 N,
(c) 445 N, and
(d) 556 N. For each attempt, calculate the magnitude of the frictional force on it from the floor. (The cabinet is initially at rest.) (e) In which of the attempts does the cabinet move?

Explanation:

"Static friction is a force that keeps an object at rest. It must be overcome to start moving the object."

(556 x 0.68) = static friction of 378.08N. before movement occurs.

The  forces (a) and (b) will not move it.  

Each will incur a frictional force preventing movement equal to itself, = 222N. and 334N. respectively.

Forces (c) and (d) will move it, and accelerate it.

Forces (c) and (d) will both encounter friction of (556 x 0.56) = 311.36N. when the cabinet is moving.

1. Indica cuáles son los reactivos y productos de la reacción química representada por la ecuación siguiente, y señala en que es
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Los reactivos, con su correspondiente estado de agregación, son:

  • Mg: estado sólido
  • HCl: estado acuoso

Los productos, con su correspondiente estado de agregación, son:

  • MgCl₂: estado acuoso
  • H₂: estado gaseoso

Explanation:

Una reacción química es un proceso por el cual una o más sustancias se transforman en otra u otras sustancias con propiedades diferentes. En otras palabras, las reacciones químicas son procesos en los que los átomos rompen sus enlaces químicos y forman otros nuevos, cambiando la naturaleza de las sustancias que intervienen.

En una ecuación química se representan dos términos. En el primero, el de la  derecha, se escriben los reactivos, expresados mediante sus fórmulas químicas  correspondientes y separados por un signo más. Por otro lado, el término de la izquierda, en  el que aparecen los productos, también representados por sus formulas químicas  correspondientes y con signos más entre ellos. Entre ambos términos suele ponerse  una flecha que indica que se ha producido la reacción química correspondiente.

Las sustancias que hay antes de producirse el cambio y que desaparecen se llaman reactivos. Las sustancias que hay después de producirse el cambio y que aparecen o se generan se llaman productos.

El estado de agregación en una reacción química se indica poniendo detrás del nombre o la fórmula de la sustancia y entre paréntesis la notación siguiente:

  • Sustancias sólidas (s)
  • Sustancias líquidas (l)
  • Sustancias gaseosas (g)
  • Sustancias disueltas en agua (aq)

En este caso tienes la reacción química:

Mg (s) + 2 HCl (aq) -> MgCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

Entonces, <u><em>en este caso los reactivos, con su correspondiente estado de agregación, son:</em></u>

  • <u><em>Mg: estado sólido</em></u>
  • <u><em>HCl: estado acuoso</em></u>

<u><em>Por otro lado, los productos, con su correspondiente estado de agregación, son:</em></u>

  • <u><em>MgCl₂: estado acuoso</em></u>
  • <u><em>H₂: estado gaseoso</em></u>

Compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy
inysia [295]
Kinetic and Potential Energy HistoryA roller coaster train going down hill represents merely a complex case as a body is descending an inclined plane. Newton's first two laws relate force and acceleration, which are key concepts in roller coaster physics. At amusement parks, Newton's laws can be applied to every ride. These rides range from 'The Swings' to The 'Hammer'. Newton was also one of the developers of calculus which is essential to analyzing falling bodies constrained on more complex paths than inclined planes. A roller coaster rider is in an gravitational field except with the Principle of Equivalence.Potential EnergyPotential energy is the same as stored energy. The "stored" energy is held within the gravitational field. When you lift a heavy object you exert energy which later will become kinetic energy when the object is dropped. A lift motor from a roller coaster exerts potential energy when lifting the train to the top of the hill. The higher the train is lifted by the motor the more potential energy is produced; thus, forming a greater amount if kinetic energy when the train is dropped. At the top of the hills the train has a huge amount of potential energy, but it <span>has very little kinetic energy.Kinetic Energy The word "kinetic" is derived from the Greek word meaning to move, and the word "energy" is the ability to move. Thus, "kinetic energy" is the energy of motion --it's ability to do work. The faster the body moves the more kinetic energy is produced. The greater the mass and speed of an object the more kinetic energy there will be. Hope this helped:))))</span>
