While moving in, a new homeowner is pushing a box across the floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction b

etween the box and the floor is 0.43. The pushing force is directed downward at an angle θ below the horizontal. When θ is greater than a certain value, it is not possible to move the box, no matter how large the pushing force is. Find that value of θ.

Answer:

\theta = 66.7 degree

Explanation:

since force is applied downwards at some angle with the horizontal

so here we will have

F_n = mg + Fsin\theta

now we know that the box will not move if applied force is balanced by frictional force on it

so we will have

Fcos\theta = \mu F_n

F cos\theta = \mu (mg + F sin\theta)

F(cos\theta - \mu sin\theta) = \mu mg

F = \frac{\mu mg}{cos\theta - \mu sin\theta}

so here we can say

cos\theta - \mu sin\theta > 0

tan\theta = \frac{1}{\mu}

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\mu}

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{0.43})

\theta = 66.7 degree

Which of the following is MOST useful to scientists in measuring the size of asteroids?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:c-The gravitational effect when spacecraft flies close to the asteriod

Explanation:

Gravitational effect on the spacecraft gives an estimate that how big is the asteroid by experiencing its gravitational pull.

The amount of extra thrust required to maintain the trajectory of the spacecraft during its motion hints at the scientist about the size of the asteroid.

Gravitational pull is directly proportional to the mass of object so greater the mass, greater will be the pull.

Why is energy required to get an object moving?
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

this is what popped up when I searched it up:In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.

A planet is discovered orbiting around a star in the galaxy Andromeda at four times the distance from the star as Earth is from
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Tp/Te = 2

Therefore, the orbital period of the planet is twice that of the earth's orbital period.

Explanation:

The orbital period of a planet around a star can be expressed mathematically as;

T = 2π√(r^3)/(Gm)

Where;

r = radius of orbit

G = gravitational constant

m = mass of the star

Given;

Let R represent radius of earth orbit and r the radius of planet orbit,

Let M represent the mass of sun and m the mass of the star.

r = 4R

m = 16M

For earth;

Te = 2π√(R^3)/(GM)

For planet;

Tp = 2π√(r^3)/(Gm)

Substituting the given values;

Tp = 2π√((4R)^3)/(16GM) = 2π√(64R^3)/(16GM)

Tp = 2π√(4R^3)/(GM)

Tp = 2 × 2π√(R^3)/(GM)

So,

Tp/Te = (2 × 2π√(R^3)/(GM))/( 2π√(R^3)/(GM))

Tp/Te = 2

Therefore, the orbital period of the planet is twice that of the earth's orbital period.
