The direction of friction force is always the opposite of the direction of the movement.

In this problem, we have an applied force of 20N and this creates a movement. Then, the friction comes in and applies a force of 2.4N.

Because they are in different directions, we need to subtract them:
20 - 2.4 = x \\  \\ x = 17.6
We don't know the direction because there is no picture (at least I can't see ☺️). But the movement will be to the direction of the 20N.

A rope passes over a fixed sheave with both ends hanging straight down. The coefficient of friction between the rope and sheave
Oliga [24]

Answer:3.51

Explanation:

Given

Coefficient of Friction \mu =0.4

Consider a small element at an angle \theta having an angle of d\theta

Normal Force=T\times \frac{d\theta }{2}+(T+dT)\cdot \frac{d\theta }{2}

N=T\cdot d\theta

Friction f=\mu \times Normal\ Reaction

f=\mu \cdot N

and T+dT-T=f=\mu Td\theta

dT=\mu Td\theta

\frac{dT}{T}=\mu d\theta

\int_{T_2}^{T_1}\frac{dT}{T}=\int_{0}^{\pi }\mu d\theta

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{\mu \pi}

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{0.4\times \pi }

\frac{T_2}{T_1}==e^{1.256}

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=3.51

Listed following is a set of statements describing individual stars or characteristics of stars. Match these to the appropriate
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Red giant or super giant → very cool but very luminous

                                      → found in the upper right of the H-R diagram.

Main sequence →The majority of stars in our galaxy

                        → Sun, for example

                        → a very hot and very luminous star

White dwarfs → very hot but very dim

                     → not much larger in radius than earth  

Explanation:

Giant:

When the stars run out of their fuel that is hydrogen for the nuclear fusion reactions then they convert into Giant stars.That's why they are very cool. Giant stars have the larger radius and luminosity then the main sequence stars.

Main Sequence:

Stars are called main sequence stars when their core temperature reaches up to 10 million kelvin and their start the nuclear fusion reactions of hydrogen into helium in the core of the star. That is why they are very hot and luminous. For example sun is known as to be in the stage of main sequence as the nuclear fusion reactions are happening in its core.

White dwarfs:

When the stars run out of their fuel then they shed the outer layer planetary nebula, the remaining core part that left behind is called as white dwarf. It's the most dense part as the most of the mass is concentrated in this part.

A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. Suppose at f
Airida [17]

Answer:

c. The steady-state value of the current depends on the resistance of the resistor.

Explanation:

Since all the components are connected in series, when the switch is at first open, current will not flow round the circuit. As current needs to flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and  switch to the negative terminal of the battery.

But the moment the switch is closed, at the initial time t = 0, the current flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and switch to the negative terminal of the battery. It then begins to increase at a rate that depends upon the value of the inductance of the inductor.
