Answer

Greater than.

Static friction is the force that opposes motion between two objects that are not in motion. For the object to move one have to overcome the static friction. This force is usually greater than the force that exist between two surfaces that are in relative motion. This force is called kinetic friction.

For this reason the coefficient of static friction is greater that coefficient of kinetic friction.

A hot-air balloon of diameter 12 mm rises vertically at a constant speed of 15 m/sm/s. A passenger accidentally drops his camera

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. With the information provided we will calculate the time it takes for the object to fall. From that time, considering that the ascent rate is constant, we will take the reference distance and calculate the distance traveled while the object hit the ground, that is,

$h = v_0 t -\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

$-18 = 15*t + \frac{1}{2} 9.8*t^2$

$t = 3.98s$

Then the total distance traveled would be

$h = h_0 +v_0t$

$h = 18+15*3.98$

$h = 77.7m$

Therefore the railing will be at a height of 77.7m when it has touched the ground

Light of wavelength λ travels through a medium with an index of refraction n1before striking a thin film with an index of refrac

ra1l [238]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

A light that transmits through n₂ travels t distance before reflection off the n₁ medium and again travels distance t before reaching the point from where it entered n₂ medium. Hence it travels 2 t distance more than the light that is reflected off n₂.

It( light entering n₂) also travels an additional distance equal to, half of the wavelength, when reflected off n₁ ( as n₁ is greater than n₂).

Wavelength in n₂ is = $\dfrac{\lambda}{n_2}$
