Two blocks, stacked one on top of the other, slide on a frictionless horizontal surface. The surface between the two blocks is r

ough, however, with a coefficient of static friction equal to 0.50. The top block has a mass of 2.3 kg, and the bottom block's mass is 4.2 kg. If a horizontal force F is applied to the bottom block, what is the maximum value F can have before the top block begins to slip?

Answer:

F_{net} = 31.88 N

Explanation:

When top block is just or about to slide on the lower block then we can say that the frictional force on it will be maximum static friction

So we will have

F_{net} = ma

F_s = ma

\mu_s mg = ma

a = \mu_s g

a = (0.50)(9.81)

a = 4.905 m/s^2

now for the Net force on two blocks to move together

F_{net} = (m_1 + m_2) a

F_{net} = (2.3 + 4.2)(4.905)

F_{net} = 31.88 N

The momentum of a 0.1 kg object traveling at 2000 m/s is 20,000 kg·m/s. True or False
Alina [70]

That's false.  

The definition of momentum is (mass) x (speed), so they must be multiplied.

"20,000 kg-m/s" has the correct units resulting from multiplication, but the number could only be the result of division.

Complete the following sentence: How much you pay in taxes depends on _________________________.
solong [7]

Answer:

How much you pay in taxes depends on the amount of your taxable income

Explanation:

The total amount expected to be payed as taxes is a factor of the amount of taxable income earned within the given tax period.

The taxable income is found by subtracting the amount of deductions and exemption allowed in the tax year from the gross income. It is also specified as the adjusted gross income

The set marginal  tax rate indicates the percentage of the taxable income that is to be paid as taxes, such that there are three different ranges or tax brackets and taxes are paid according to the bracket to which a taxable income belongs.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

  W / A = 39200 kg / m²

Explanation:

For this problem let's use the equilibrium equation of / newton

           F = W

Where F is the force of the door and W the weight of water

         W = mg

We use the concept of density

        ρ = m / V

        m = ρ V

The volume of the water column is

          V = A h

We replace

         W = ρ A h g

On the other side the cylinder cover has a pressure

          P = F / A

          F = P A

We match the two equations

       P A = ρ A h g

        P = ρ g h

        P = 39200 Pa

The weight of the water column is

       W  = 1000 9.8 4 A

       W / A = 39200 kg / m²
