There's nothing mysterious about it at all. "Frequency" simply means
"often-ness" ... how often or how frequently something happens.
-- The frequency of traditional meals is 3 per day.
-- The frequency of an equinox is 2 per year.
-- The frequency of my sleeping really late is 1 per week.
-- The frequency of my intense desire to sleep late is 30 per month.
etc.
-- The standard unit of frequency in the SI system is "per second".
The special name for that unit is "Hertz". (Hz)
If I remember correctly, it is the 3rd answer choice.
Answer:
<em>The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N and acts opposite to the applied force.</em>
Explanation:
<u>Net Force
</u>
The Second Newton's law states that an object acquires acceleration when an unbalanced net force is applied to it.
The acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
If the object has zero net force, it won't get accelerated and its velocity will remain constant.
The m=2 kg block is being pulled across a horizontal surface by a force of F=15 N and we are told the block moves at a constant velocity. This means the acceleration is zero and therefore the net force is also zero.
Since there is an external force applied to the box, it must have been balanced by the force of friction, thus the force of friction has the same magnitude acting opposite to the applied force.
The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N opposite to the applied force.
The first law of Newton’s law state an object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon with an outside force. Other know as the law of inertia so yes it does
