The magnitude of the friction force is 25 N

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just have to analyze the forces acting on the block along the horizontal direction. We have:

  • The horizontal component of the pulling force, F cos \theta, where F = 50 N is the magnitude and \theta=60^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of the force and the horizontal; this force acts in the  forward direction
  • The force of friction, F_f, acting in the backward direction

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the block in the horizontal direction must be equal to the product between the mass of the block and its acceleration:

\sum F_x = ma_x

where

m is the mass of the block

a_x is the horizontal acceleration

However, the block is moving at constant speed, so the acceleration is zero:

a_x = 0

So the equation becomes

\sum F_x = 0 (1)

The net force here is given by

\sum F_x = F cos \theta - F_f (2)

And so, by combining (1) and (2), we find the magnitude of the friction force:

F cos \theta - F_f = 0\\F_f = F cos \theta = (50)(cos 60^{\circ})=25 N

How do base-isolators, the rubber and steel pads under some buildings, reduce earthquake damage?
nika2105 [10]

They absorb the energy of seismic waves.

Explanation:

Base - isolators, rubber and steel pads under buildings reduces earthquake damage by absorbing the energy of seismic waves.

  • Earthquakes are produced by the sudden release of energy within the earth which causes displacement and sharp movement on earth surface.
  • There are four main types of waves that are propagated by seismic waves which wrecks havoc.
  • Understanding the waves and their properties has been useful in designing earthquake resistant structures.
  • Base-isolators, rubber and steel pads helps to absorb seismic waves.
  • When seismic waves are absorbed, they are cut off.
  • This way they cannot cause damage.

Explain why the wave model of light cannot explain the energy emissions from a blackbody
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

As the temperature decreases, the peak of the black-body radiation curve moves to lower intensities and longer wavelengths. The black-body radiation graph is also compared with the classical model of Rayleigh and Jeans.

So as you see the wavelengths are in the x axis so all wavelengths are covered.

Black-body radiation provides insight into the thermodynamic equilibrium state of cavity radiation. If each Fourier mode of the equilibrium radiation in an otherwise empty cavity with perfectly reflective walls is considered as a degree of freedom capable of exchanging energy, then, according to the equipartition theorem of classical physics, there would be an equal amount of energy in each mode. Since there are an infinite number of modes this implies infinite heat capacity (infinite energy at any non-zero temperature), as well as an unphysical spectrum of emitted radiation that grows without bound with increasing frequency, a problem known as the ultraviolet catastrophe. Instead, in quantum theory the occupation numbers of the modes are quantized, cutting off the spectrum at high frequency in agreement with experimental observation and resolving the catastrophe. The study of the laws of black bodies and the failure of classical physics to describe them helped establish the foundations of quantum mechanics.

The above explains why the classical assumptions lead to a wrong spectrum.

Vanessa made a list comparing the differences between the outer coverings in plants and animals, but she made a mistake. Read th
GaryK [48]

The skin is NOT a reproductive organ and the spines attract predators are the incorrect statements.

<h3>Why the list is incorrect?</h3>

The list is incorrect because skin is not a reproductive organ and the spines do not attract predators towards each other. Skin protects the body from the outer environment whereas the spines repel the predators from the plant body.

So we can conclude that the skin is NOT a reproductive organ and the spines attract predators are the incorrect statements.

A student walks 4 block east, 7 blocks west, 1 blocks east then 2 blocks west in an hour. Her average speed is____ block/hour
Gemiola [76]

Average speed = (total distance) / (total time)

Average speed = (4+7+1+2 blox) / (1 hour)

<em>Average speed = 14 blocks/hour</em>

<em></em>

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and take a wild guess:

I'm guessing that there's another question glued onto the end of this one, and it asks you to find either her displacement or her average velocity.  I'm so sure of this that I'm gonna give you the solution for that too.  If there's no more question, then you won't need this, and you can just discard it.  I won't mind.

Average velocity = (displacement) / (time for the displacement)

"Displacement" = distance and direction from the start point to the end point, regardless of how she got there.

Displacement = (4E + 7W + 1E + 2W)

Displacement = (5E + 9W)

<em>Displacement = 4 blocks west</em>

Average velocity = (4 blocks west) / (1 hour)

<em>Average velocity = 4 blocks/hour  West</em>
