Answer:

178.75 N

Explanation:

The force necessary to start moving the crate must be equal to or more than the frictional force (resistive force) acting on the crate but moving in an opposite direction to the frictional force.

So, we find the frictional force, Fr:

Fr = -μmg

Where μ = coefficient of friction

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

The frictional force is negative because it acts against the direction of motion of the crate.

Fr = -0.57 * 32 * 9.8

Fr = - 178.75 N

Hence, the force necessary to move the crate must be at least equal to but opposite in direction to this frictional force.

Therefore, this force is 178.75 N

Star Twinkle but planet do not why​
V125BC [204]

Answer:The total variation in the amount of light entering our eye is not dectiable therefore planets do not twinkle.

Explanation:Stars twinkle, while planets (usually) shine steadily. Why? Stars twinkle because … they're so far away from Earth that, even through large telescopes, they appear only as pinpoints. ... Planets shine more steadily because … they're closer to Earth and so appear not as pinpoints, but as tiny disks in our sky.As light from a star races through our atmosphere, it bounces and bumps through the different layers, bending the light before you see it. Since the hot and cold layers of air keep moving, the bending of the light changes too, which causes the star's appearance to wobble or twinkle.

Two train 75 km apart approach each other on parallel tracks, each moving at
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The correct solution is "37.5 km".

Explanation:

Given:

Distance between the trains,  

d = 75 km

Speed of each train,

= 15 km/h

The relative speed will be:

= 15 + (-15)

= 30 \ km/h

The speed of the bird,

V = 15 km/h

Now,

The time taken to meet will be:

t=\frac{Distance}{Relative \ speed}

  =\frac{75}{30}

  =2.5 \ h

hence,

The distance travelled by the bird in 2.5 h will be:

⇒ D = V t

        =15\times 2.5

        =37.5 \ km

A college student holds a pail full of water by the handle and whirls it around in a vertical circle at a constant speed. the ra
Gwar [14]
Here we have a circular motion. In that type of motion two new forces appear: centrifugal and centripetal. Centrifugal force tries to move object away frome the center of rotation. Centripetal force is the reason why object moves in a circle.

According to Newton's first law, in order for water not to spill out total force acting on water must be equal to zero. Forces acting on the water are gravitational and centrifugal.
0= F_{g} + F_{c}  \\ - [tex]F_{g} = F_{c} \\ m*g= \frac{m* v^{2} }{r}  \\ g= \frac{ v^{2} }{r} \\  v^{2} =g*r \\  v= \sqrt{g*r}  \\ v= \sqrt{9.81*0.95}  \\ v= \sqrt{9.3195}  \\ v=3.1 m/s [/tex]

Forces have opposite signs as they act in opposite directions. But their value is the same so we can ignore signs:
