When you push a 2.00 kg book resting on a tabletop it takes 4.60 N to start the book sliding. What is the coefficient of static
1 answer:
The coefficient of static friction is 0.234.
Answer:
Explanation:
Frictional force is equal to the product of coefficient of friction and normal force acting on any object.
So here the mass of the object is given as 2 kg, so the normal force will be acting under the influence of acceleration due to gravity.
Normal force = mass * acceleration due to gravity
Normal force = 2 * 9.8 = 19.6 N.
And the frictional force is given as 4.6 N, then
Coefficient of static friction = 4.6 N / 19.6 N = 0.234
So the coefficient of static friction is 0.234.

The energy of a photon is given by:
where h is the Planck constant and f is the photon frequency.
We know the energy of the photon,
, so we can rearrange the equation to calculate the frequency of the photon:
And now we can use the following relationship between frequency f, wavelength
and speed of light c to find the wavelength of the photon:
where h is the Planck constant and f is the photon frequency.
