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.

How is the q of an rlc parallel resonant circuit calculated?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

It is calculated by dividing Resistance, R, by Inductive reactance, XL.

Explanation:

Q is called the Q factor of a resonance circuit. In a parallel resonance circuit, it is calculated by finding the ratio of the power stored in the circuit to the power distributed in the circuit. It is a way of measuring the quality of a circuit or how effective the circuit is.

Q factor is the inverse in the resonance series circuit.

Q factor of a resonance parallel circuit,

<h3>Q = R/XL</h3>

R = Resistance

XL = Inductive reactance

What is the length of a spring that has 450J of potential energy and a spring constant of 650N/m?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Δx = 1.2 m

Explanation:

The CHANGE of spring length) (Δx) can be found using PS = ½kΔx²

Δx = √(2PS/k) = √(2(450)/650) = 1.17669... ≈ 1.2 m

The actual length of the spring is unknown as it varies with material type, construction method, extension or compression, and other variables we have no clue about.

Holly puts a box into the trunk of her car. Later, she drives around an unbanked curve that has a radius of 48 m. The speed of t
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The minimum coefficient of friction is 0.544

Solution:

As per the question:

Radius of the curve, R = 48 m

Speed of the car, v = 16 m/s

To calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction:

The centrifugal force on the box is in the outward direction and is given by:

F_{c} = \frac{mv^{2}}{R}  

f_{s} = \mu_{s}mg

where

\mu_{s} = coefficient of static friction

The net force on the box is zero, since, the box is stationary and is given by:

F_{net} = f_{s} - F_{c}  

0 = f_{s} - F_{c}  

\mu_{s}mg = \frac{mv^{2}}{R}  

\mu_{s} = \frac{v^{2}}{gR}  

\mu_{s} = \frac{16^{2}}{9.8\times 48} = 0.544

The speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. Which gives this number in three significant digits? 299,000,000. m/s 2.99 x
dexar [7]

Answer: 2.99(10)^{-8} m/s

Explanation:

When a number is written in scientific notation (representing the number using powers of base ten) it is expressed so that it contains a digit in the place of the units and all other digits after the decimal point, multiplied by the respective exponent.  

Then, the significant figures (or significant digits) will be the digits that are before the power of ten.  

Now, in the case of the number 299,792,458 if we want to write it with three significant digits, we have to write it in scientific notation as:

2.99(10)^{-8}
