Answer:
<em>The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41</em>
Explanation:
<u>Friction Force</u>
When an object is moving and encounters friction in the air or rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and velocity because the friction force opposes motion.
The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:
[1]
Where 
is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.
If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:
N = W = m.g
The crate of m=20 Kg has a weight of:
W = 20*9.8
W = 196 N
The normal force is also N=196 N
We can find the coefficient of static friction by solving [1] for :
The friction force is equal to the minimum force required to start moving the object on the floor, thus Fr=80 N and:
The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41
I think B is the most correct, because logically it's harder to bend a stiffer spring than it is to bend a softer one. Also, I don't think length comes into play. So B.
Answer:
1.03 m/s
Explanation:
I'm too lazy to write the explanation down but my teacher graded this and it was right
W=mgh W=(20)(9.8)(1) w=196J
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction
</h2>
Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.
Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.
To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.
It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.
