an ice skater applies a horizontal force to a 20.-kilogram block on frictionless, level ice, causing the block to accelerate uni

formly at 1.4 meters per second2 to the right. after the skater stops pushing the block, it slides onto a region of ice that is covered with a thin layer of sand. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the sand-covered ice is 0.28. calculate the magnitude of the force applied to the block by the skater. [show all work, including the equation and substitution with units.]

The only vertical forces are weight and normal force, and they balance since the surface is horizontal. The horizontal forces are the applied force (uppercase F) in the direction the block slides and the frictional force (lowercase f) in the opposite direction.

Apply Newton's 2nd Law in the horizontal direction:
ΣF = ma
F - f = ma
where f = µmg

F - µmg = ma
F = m(a +µg)
F = (20 kg)(1.4 m/s² + 0.28(9.8 m/s²)

F = 83 N

Linh builds a circuit from the diagram shown. Which bulb could Linh remove from the circuit to make all of the other bulbs stop
LenKa [72]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

In order for the current to continue flowing through the circuit (and for the bulbs to continue shining), there must be a closed path containing the battery where current can flow. Let's see the effect of removing each bulb on the circuit:

- 1: when removing bulb 1 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 3- bulb 4

- 2: when removing bulb 2 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 3- bulb 4

- 3: when removing bulb 3 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 1-bulb 2- bulb 4

- 4: when removing bulb 4 only, the current can no longer flow. In fact, there is no closed path that contains the battery now, so the current will not flow and all the bulbs will stop shining.

A source of sound is kept in a jar in a vacuum. Air is slowly introduced in to the jar. What happens to the sound coming out of
timama [110]
<span>The loudness of the sound increases gradually as the air is slowly introduced in to the jar. This is because sound needs a physical medium and in a vacuum there is none. The air provides that medium and as it is introduced, the transfer of sound energy increases</span>
