The value of the friction force is 5.4 N

Explanation:

In order to solve the problem, we have to write down the equation of the forces along the horizontal direction.

We have only two forces acting along the horizontal direction:

The horizontal component of the pull of the student, $F cos \theta$ , forward
The friction force, $F_f$ , backward

The resultant force must be equal to the product between mass and acceleration (Newton's second law), so we can write:

$F cos \theta - F_f = ma$

where:

F = 50 N is the force of pull of the student

$\theta=45^{\circ}$ is the angle relative to the horizontal

m = 20 kg is the mass of the box

$a=1.5 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Solving the equation for $F_f$ , we find the value of the friction force:

$F_f = Fcos \theta -ma=(50)(cos 45^{\circ})-(20)(1.5)=5.4 N$

How much physical activity do adults need

Irina18 [472]

For most healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends these exercise guidelines: Aerobic activity. Get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity. You also can do a combination of moderate and vigorous activity.

A body of mass 25kg, moving at 3 ms per second on a rough horizontal floor brought to rest after sliding through a distance of 2

erastova [34]

You have to solve this by using the equations of motion:
u=3
v=0
s=2.5
a=?
v^2=u^2+2as
0=9+5s
Giving a=-1.8m/s^2

Then using the equation:
F=ma
F is the frictional force as there is no other force acting and its negative as its in the opposite direction to the direction of motion.

-F=25(-1.8)
F=45N

Then use the formula:
F=uR
Where u is the coefficient of friction, R is the normal force and F is the frictional force.

45=u(25g)
45=u(25*10)

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is 0.18

Hope that helps

professor190 [17]

Answer:

A. polymerization

Explanation:

Synthetic plastics are made by linking many simple carbon molecules together to form much larger molecules. This process is called polymerization.

Synthetic or artifical giant molecules consists of synthetic polymers such as plastics, elastomers etc. They are made up of simple monomers which links to form the complex and giant structure.

Monomers are the simplest unit of polymers. Polymers have very great sizes. The size mkaes their structure quite complex. This makes the molecules more disposed in a regular pattern with respect to one another.

The complexity of structure and the attendant effects accounts for the properties and uses that makes synthetic molecules very unique. For example, plastics can be extruded as sheets, pipes and or moulded into other objects.

Iodine 131 half life is 8.0 days. Ten percent of the original sample o his isotope remains after (a) 22.7 days (b) 24.9 days (c)

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

option (c) is correct

Explanation:

Half life of a substance is the time in which the element becomes half of is initial value.

half life, T = 8 days

Amount remaining, N = 10 % of original value

Let the original value is No.

N = 10% of No

N = 0.1 No

Let the time taken is t and the decay constant is λ.

The relation between the decay constant and the half life is given by

$\lambda =\frac{0.6931}{T}=\frac{0.6931}{8}=0.08664 per day$

Us the equation of radioactivity

$N=N_{0}e^{-\lambda t}$

$0.1N_{0}=N_{0}e^{-0.08664 t}$

$e^{0.08664 t}=10$

Taking natural log on both the sides, we get

0.08664 t = 2.303

t = 26.6 days
