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.

marishachu [46]

Explanation :

Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier reported four "element" classifications but included some substances that were combinations of elements rather than true elements in his listing.

He is also known as " father of modern chemistry". He gives the modern system of naming chemical substances. He also gives a theory for chemical reactivity of the oxygen.

12. your friend with great excitement tells you about his newest idea to solve the energy crisis: he wants to use an electromoto
mixas84 [53]
I would tell him, in the kindest, most gentle way I could manage,
to fahgeddaboudit. 

The total amount of energy doesn't change.  Energy is never created,
and it never disappears.  If you have some energy, then it had to come
from somewhere, and if you used some energy, then it had to go
somewhere. 

You can never get more energy out of the electromotor than you put into it,
 and in the real world, you can't even get THAT much out, because some
of it is always used on the way through.

Pour yourself a cold glass of soda, then look up "Perpetual Motion" or
"Free Energy" on the internet, relax, and enjoy the show.  They are all
fakes.  They may not all be intentionally meant to fool you, but they are
all impossible.
