Answer:

The greatest horizontal force that can be exerted without moving the table is 168.56N.

Explanation:

The maximum friction force is determined from the coefficient of static friction as follows:

F_{fr}=\mu\cdot F_{norm} = 0.43\cdot F_{norm}

where the the normal force is exerted by the ground as a reaction to the weight of the table, and has same magnitude as but opposite direction to the gravitational force on the table:

F_{fr} = 0.43\cdot 40kg\cdot 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} = 168.56 N

This is the <em>maximum</em> static force, so the friction force will be matching and opposing any horizontal force up to 168.56N.

The force equals the coefficient of static friction times the weight. Use gravity g=9.8 m/s^2
0.43*40*9.8=16.856 N

The car is accelerating at 3 m/s² in the positive direction (to the right). By Newton's second law, the net force on the car in this direction is

∑ F = F[a] - F[f] - F[air] = ma

3100 N - 200 N - F[air] = (650 kg) (3 m/s²)

Solve for F[air] :

F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - (650 kg) (3 m/s²)

F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - 1950 N

F[air] = 950 N

Which has the lowest heat capacity? (values of heat capacities and calculations are unnecessary).
Brrunno [24]

The correct answer is Metals.

Generally, the specific heat of metals is low. Very high specific heat exists in water.A physical feature of matter known as heat capacity or thermal capacity is the quantity of heat that must be applied to an object in order to cause a unit change in temperature. Heat capacity is measured in joules per kelvin (J/K), the SI unit. A broad property is heat capacity. Use the following equation to determine heat capacity: heat capacity = E / T, where E is the quantity of delivered heat energy and T is the change in temperature. The formula would be as follows, for instance, if it takes 2,000 Joules of energy to raise a block's temperature by 5 degrees Celsius: 2,000 Joules per °C is the heat capacity.

Why is newton's gravitational force called universal gravitational force​
Lelechka [254]
Newton’s law of gravity is considered “universal” because it is believed to be applicable to the entire Universe (to a good approximation). Gravity does not just pull an apple from a tree, but also pulls the Moon to the Earth, the Earth to the Sun, and so on. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature.

Explain the terms boiling and boiling point.
Volgvan

The particular temperature at which vaporisation occurs is known as the boiling point of liquid. Volume of water increases when it boils at 100° C. 1 cm3 of water at 100 ° C becomes 1760 cm3 of steam at 100 ° C.
