Answer:

The the maximum force acting on the crate is 533.12 newtons.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the wooden crate, m = 136 kg

The coefficient of static friction, \mu_s=0.4

The coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu_k=0.2

We need to find the maximum force exerted horizontally on the crate without moving it. As the crate is not moving than the coefficient of static friction will act and the force is given by :

F=\mu_s mg

F=0.4\times 136\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2

F = 533.12 N

So, the maximum force acting on the crate is 533.12 newtons. Hence, this is the required solution.

An AC adapter for a telephone answering machine uses a transformer to reduce the line voltage of 120 V to a voltage of 5.00 V. T
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

35

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial voltage,V_1=120 V

Final voltage, V_2=5 V

Number of tuns in primary coil of the transformer, N_p=840

Rms current, I_{rms}=580mA=580\times 10^{-3} A

1 mA=10^{-3} A

We have to find the number of turns  are there on the secondary coil.

We know that

\frac{N_s}{N_p}=\frac{V_2}{V_1}

Using the formula

\frac{N_s}{840}=\frac{5}{120}

N_s=\frac{5}{120}\times 840=35

Hence, there are  number of turns on the secondary coil=35

A rod made from insulating material carries a net charge, while a copper sphere is neutral. The rod and the sphere do not touch.
navik [9.2K]
<span>As the charged insulating rod approaches the sphere (not in contact), free electrons in the sphere move. If the rod is negatively charged, free electrons move to the side of the sphere opposite the side with the rod. If the rod is positively charged, the free electron moves to the side of the sphere with the rod. In either case, the region of the sphere near the rod acquires a charge with the sign opposite to that on the rod.

a. Since opposedly charged objects always attract each other, the rod and ball always experience mutual attractive forces.

b. Since the side of the sphere near the bar always has the opposite charge to the charge of the rod, the rod and the sphere always attract each other. <span>They do not repel each other.</span></span>

The differential distribution of ions across the cell membrane is due to the:
DIA [1.3K]

The differential distribution of ions across the cell membrane is due to the "resting membrane potential".

<u>Option: C</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The unequal allocation of charged particles like ions between the internal and external portion of cell, and by the varying membrane permeability to various ion forms, understood as resting membrane potential.

Within a sleeping brain, Na+ and K+ ions exhibit concentration gradients throughout the membrane, which push their gradients down through channels, resulting in a differentiation of the charges that generates the resting potential. With K+ than Na+ ions, the membrane is even more permeable, so the resting potential is similar to potassium ion's equilibrium potential.

What is the purpose of using a generator​
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The purpose of an electrical generator is to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy.

A generator is exactly the thing to use if you need more electrical energy than you have, but at the same time, you have access to something with more kinetic energy than you need.
