Answer:

Frictional force, F = 45.9 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the box, W = 150 N

Acceleration, a=3\ m/s^2

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the wagon's surface is 0.6 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4.  

It is mentioned that the box does not move relative to the wagon. The force of friction is equal to the applied force. Let a is the acceleration. So,

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{150}{9.8}

m=15.3\ kg

Frictional force is given by :

F=ma

F=15.3\times 3

F = 45.9 N

So, the friction force on this box is closest to 45.9 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose one of the Global Positioning System satellites has a speed of 4.46 km/s at perigee and a speed of 3.54 km/s at apogee.
lys-0071 [83]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Kepler's second law and the conservation of angular momentum.

Kepler's second law tells us that the vector radius that unites a planet and the sun sweeps equal areas at equal times, that is, when the planet is farther from the sun, the speed at which it travels is less than when it is close to the sun.

The angular momentum is defined as

L = m*r*v

Where,

m= mass

r = Radius

v = Velocity

For conservation of angular momentum

L_{apogee}=L_{perigee}

mv_a*r_a = mv_p*r_p

v_a*r_a= v_p*r_p

r_a = \frac{v_p*r_p}{v_a}

r_a = \frac{(4.46)(2.23*10^4)}{(3.54)}

r_a = 2.81*10^4km

Therefore the corresponding distance at apogee is 2.81*10^4km

When you encounter a yellow light as you approach an intersection what is the safest approach to take?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
This isn't a physics question really, but you should slow down unless you don't believe you can stop in time or don't believe it is safe to stop quickly (say you see someone driving very close behind you and you don't think they're paying attention). In general, if you think that by staying at your current speed your back tires will cross the ending lines of the intersection by the time the light turns red, it is safe to go through the yellow light. However, this is a thing you'll develop a feel for as you're driving, when in doubt, just slow down, just watch slamming on your breaks if there is someone behind you, sometimes people will see the yellow light when they're behind you and they'll speed up behind you so they'll "make it" before the light turns yellow. While this isn't illegal, since they're not technically running the red light, you should never speed up going up to a yellow light, if you need to speed up to make it before it turns red, you shouldn't make the light, just stop, this is especially bad if someone is directly in front of you and is likely to stop at the yellow light while the person behind them speeds up. This causes a lot of accidents.
