Answer:

The coefficient of static friction,  μ = 0.153

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the parcel, m = 20 kg

The acceleration of the lorry, a = 1.5 m/s²

The normal force acting on the parcel,

                                       f = m x g

                                         = 20 x 9.8

                                        = 196 N

The static frictional force acting on the lorry,

                                   F = 20 x 1.5

                                      = 30 N

The coefficient of static is

                     μ = F / f

                        = 30 / 196

                        = 0.153

Hence, the coefficient of static friction,  μ = 0.153

What kind of circuit is the one shown below?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The given circuit diagram shows parallel circuit.

Explanation:

In this circuit diagram two bulbs are connected in parallel combination because current flows from the battery gets bifurcated at the junction. Thus, two bulbs are connected in parallel combination.

This parallel combinations of bulbs then connected to the battery given in the diagram. So, the combinations of bulbs are connected in parallel combinations with the battery.

Hence, both bulbs and battery are connected in parallel combinations with each other.

The circuit diagram shown in figure is parallel.
