A bedroom bureau with a mass of 45 kg, including drawers and clothing, rests on the floor. (a) If the coefficient of static fric

tion between the bureau and the floor is 0.45, what is the magnitude of the minimum horizontal force that a person must apply to start the bureau moving

Answer: the minimal force that you need to apply to move the bureau is F = 198.45N

Explanation:

If you want to move an object, you need to apply a force that is bigger than the force of the statical friction.

The force of statical friction can be written as.

Ff = k*N

where k is the coefficient of static friction, in this case, k = 0.45, and N is the normal force between the object and the surface.

In this case, the normal force is the weight of the bedroom bureau, this is:

N = m*g = 45kg*9.8m/s^2 = 441N

Then the force is:

Fr = 0.45*441N = 198.45N

This means that the minimal force that you need to apply to move the bureau is F = 198.45N

and after this point, the force of friction will work wit the kinetic coefficient of friction, that usually is smaller than the statical one.

Rahul has 2 bulbs connected across two cells in a simple circuits shown. How can he make the bulbs glow dimmer?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

in the parallel connection the light bulbs shine less than in the series connection

Explanation:

In a series circuit the current through the whole circuit is the same, therefore the power (brightness) of each bulb is

           P = i² R

where R is the resistance of each bulb and i the current of the circuit.

If we connect the light bulbs and the cells in parallel, the current in the circuit is the sum of the east that passes through each light bulb,

            i = i₁ + i₂

if the two light bulbs are the same

           i = 2 i₁

           i₁ = i / 2

so the power of each bulb is is

           P = i₁² R

           P = R i² / 4

           P = ¼ P_initial

Therefore we see that in the parallel connection the light bulbs shine less than in the series connection

An object floats in a beaker as shown. when it was put into the beaker, it displaced an amount of water into the graduated cylin
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

answer is  C. 10 g

Explanation:

: When an object floats, it displaces an amount of water that has the same mass as itself. Therefore, the mass of the water in the graduated cylinder is equal to the mass of the object. We can see that there are 10 mL of water in the graduated cylinder. We also know that the density of water is 1 g/mL. Since each mL of water has a mass of 1 g, then 10 mL of water has a mass of 10 g. If the mass of the displaced water is 10 g, then the mass of the floating object is also 10 g.

Match each property with the benefit it provides to people on Earth. A. magnetic field filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
vodomira [7]

The correct matching are the following:

  • A. magnetic field: prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface
  • B. ozone: filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
  • C. carbon dioxide: retains heat energy from the sun in the atmosphere
  • D. water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams: moderates changes in temperature on the surface

The electromagnetic field of the Earth protects us from solar wind by deflecting it. Without it, the charged particles would strip away our ozone, which will lead to the end of life on Earth.

The ozone is a layer in the stratosphere that filters the suns rays. It filters the UV rays by absorbing it. This prevents the UV rays from damaging the surface of the Earth.

Carbon dioxide retains heat in the atmosphere, which creates a greenhouse effect. It is beneficial for us, but because human activity like industrial activities emit so much carbon in the atmosphere that it ends up being harmful.

Bodies of water found on Earth regulate the temperature of the Earth through ocean currents. It brings in both cold and warm air to land which also affect precipitation.

Long explanation, I know, but maybe this will help you out in the long run. Good Luck!
