Explanation:

It is given that,

Force applied to the box, F = 42 N

Weight of the box, W = 55 N

(a) Let f is the force of the friction acting on the box. The force of friction always opposes the motion of an object. It always equal to the applied force as :

f = -F = -42 N

(b) The frictional force is kinetic in nature because when the force is applied to the box it starts to move.

(c)  Let \mu is the coefficient of friction. It is given by :

\mu=\dfrac{f}{N}

\mu=\dfrac{42}{55}

\mu=0.76

Hence, this is the required solution.

Granite is mostly used in building work places whereas Gneiss is used for making tombstones, flooring, etc. Why do you think so?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Granite is durable, as it is hard and tough.

Gneiss has resistance to pressure and mechanical impacts

Explanation:

Granite is an igneous rock. It is mostly used in building works and construction because they are very durable. They are hard and tough and they have no internal structures.

Gneiss is used for flooring, ornamental stone, tombstones because of the fact that it shows resistances to pressure and also mechanical impacts.

<u>how they are formed in nature:</u>

In nature, granite is formed from the cooling down of hot molten magma and it's solidification before it reaches the surface of the earth.

In nature, gneiss is as a result of igneous rock or sedimentary rocks metamorphosing. Gneiss and granite are kind of similar. When subjected to great heat, granite becomes gneiss

You're driving down the highway late one night at 16.0 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 39.0 m in front of you. your reaction
choli [55]
The breaking distance consists of two parts. The first part is the first 0.5 seconds were no breaking occurs. Given values: t time, v₀ initial velocity:
x₁ = v₀*t
The second part occurs after t = 0,5s with the given acceleration: a = - 12 m/s²
were the final velocity is zero, v = 0 and the initial velocity v₀= 16m/s:
v = a*t + v₀ = 0 => v₀ = -a*t => t = v₀/-a

x₂ = 0.5*a*t² = 0.5*v°²/a

The total breaking distance is the sum of the two parts:
x = x₁ + x₂ = v₀* t + 0.5 * v₀² / a = 16 * 0.5 + 0.5 * 16² / 12 = 8 + 10,7 = 18,7

You can use this result to calculate the remaining distance. You can use the last equation to calculate the maximum speed you could have to avoid a collision.
Use x = 39m and solve for v₀.

As you gave no pic I took them on one lined

  • F_1=3N
  • F_2=10N
  • F_3=3root 3 N
  • F_4=6N

\\ \sf\longmapsto F_{net}=F_1+F_2\dots

\\ \sf\longmapsto F_{net}=3+10+6+3\sqrt{3}

\\ \sf\longmapsto F_{net}=19+3(1.732)

\\ \sf\longmapsto F_{net}=19+5.196

\\ \sf\longmapsto F_{net}=24.196N

A 50 kg crate is pulled across the ice by a rope that is angled at 30 degrees above the horizontal. If the tension in the rope i
denpristay [2]
Let:
Vx = the pulling component of force
Vy = the lifting component of force

Vy:
Sin(n°) = Vy/hypotenuse
hypotenuse * Sin(n°) = Vy
100N*sin(30°) = Vy
50N = Vy

Vx:
Cos(n°) = Vx/hypotenuse
Hypotenuse * cos(n°) = Vx
100N*cos(30°) =Vx
about 86.6N = Vx
