The frictional force between the block and the surface is 6 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

$F_{net}=ma$

where

$F_{net}$ is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

For the block in this problem, we have:

$a=0$ , because its acceleration is zero

$F_{net}=F_a-F_f$ , since the net force is given by the difference between the applied force $F_a$ (in the forward direction) and the frictional force $F_f$ (in the backward direction)

Therefore Newton's second law becomes

$F_a-F_f = ma = 0$

Which means

$F_f=F_a$

And since the applied force is $F_a=6 N$ , this means that the friction force is also 6 N:

$F_f=F_a=6 N$

Two metal plates 15mm apart have a potential difference of 750v between them. The force on a small charged sphere placed between

Romashka [77]

Answer:

50,000 V/m

Explanation:

The electric field between two charged metal plates is uniform.

The relationship between potential difference and electric field strength for a uniform field is given by the equation

$\Delta V=Ed$

where

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

E is the magnitude of the electric field

d is the distance between the plates

In this problem, we have:

$\Delta V=750 V$ is the potential difference between the plates

d = 15 mm = 0.015 m is the distance between the plates

Therefore, rearranging the equation we find the strength of the electric field:

$E=\frac{\Delta V}{d}=\frac{750}{0.015}=50,000 V/m$

A hydraulic press has one piston of diameter 4.0 cm and the other piston of diameter 8.0 cm. What force must be applied to the s

yan [13]

Answer:

The force is $F_1 = 400.8 \ N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first diameter is $d_1 = 4.0 \ cm = 0.04 \ m$

The second diameter is $d_2 = 8.0 \ cm = 0.08 \ m$

Generally the first area is

$A_1 = \pi * \frac{d^2_1 }{4}$

=> $A_1 = 3.142 * \frac{0.04^2}{4}$

=> $A_1 = 0.00126 \ m^2$

The second area is

$A_2 = \pi * \frac{d^2_2 }{4}$

$A_2 = 3.142 * \frac{0.08^2}{4}$

$A_2 = 0.00503 \ m^2$

For a hydraulic press the pressure at both end must be equal .

Generally pressure is mathematically represented as

$P = \frac{F}{A}$

=>

$\frac{F_1}{A_1 } = \frac{F_2}{A_2 }$

=> $F_1 = \frac{1600}{0.00503} * 0.00126$

=> $F_1 = 400.8 \ N$

What cannot be used to dry utensils?

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Wiping cloth

Explanation:

When the wiping cloth is used to “clean” another surface, it will contaminate it with the bacteria. To avoid bacterial growth on the wiping cloth, a wet wiping cloth must be stored in a proper sanitizing solution between uses. Provide Proper Concentration of. Sanitizing Solution for Wiping Cloths.

wiping cloth cannot be used on a surface where raw meat was cleaned, utensils, plates and other kitchen eating accessories because of it's ability to contact germs and bacteria.
