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.

The fact that Mercury has no atmosphere is evidence that it _____.

Naddika [18.5K]

We want to know what does the fact that Mercury has no atmosphere tell us. Since Mercury has no atmosphere it cant reflect a lot of sunlight that is hitting its surface. Its constantly being hit by solar wind. So Mercury reflects a small percentage of the sunlight that strikes it.

What potential difference is required to cause 4.00 a to flow through a resistance of 330 ω?

Alisiya [41]

We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states that an Ohmic conductor the following relationship holds:
$\Delta V = I R$
where
$\Delta V$ is the potential difference applied to the resistor
I is the current flowing through it
R is the resistance

In our problem, I=4.00 A and $R=330 \omega$ , so the potential difference is
$\Delta V = IR=(4.00 A)(330 \omega)=1320 V$

A circular loop of wire with a radius of 15.0cm and oriented in the horizontal xy-plane is located in a region of uniform magnet

Drupady [299]

Answer:

See answer

Explanation:

The area of the circular loop is given by:

$A = \pi r^2$

The magnetic flux is given by:

$\phi = \int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}$

$d\vec{A}$ is parallel to $\vec{B}$ and $\vec{B}$ is constant in magnitude and direction therefore:

$\phi = \int \vec{B} \cdot d\vec{A}= \int BdAcos(0)= B\int dA= B*(\pi r^2)= \pi Br^2$

Part A)

initially the flux is $\phi =\pi B r^2$

after the interval $\Delta t= 2.4 [m/s]$

the flux is

$\phi = 0$

now, the EMF is defined as:

$\epsilon =- \frac{d \phi}{dt}$ ,

if we consider $\Delta t= 2.4 [m/s]$ very small then we can re-write it as:

$\epsilon =- \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

$\Delta \phi = 0 - \pi B r^2=-\pi (1.7) (0.15)^2=-0.12$

then:

$\epsilon =- \frac{-0.12}{0.0024} = 50 [V]$

Part B)

When looked down from above, the current flows counter clockwise, according to the right hand rule, if you place your thumb upwards (the direction of the magnetic field) and close your fingers, then the current will flow in the direction of your fingers.
