antsy andy tries to push his 6kg desk away from him and finds that it takes him 12 N of force to start the desk from rest and 8

N to keep it moving at constant velocity. what are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction?

4 0

Answer:

static coefficient = 0,203 & kinetic coefficient = 0,14

Explanation:

There are two (2) conditions, when the desk is about to move and when the desk is moving. In the attachements you can see the two free body diagram for each condition.

In the first condition, there is no movement and the force is 12 N, in the image we can see the total forces are equal to 0 and by the definition of the friction force we can get the static friction coefficient.

In the second condition there is movement in the direction of the force which is equal to 8 N, again by the definition of the friction force we can get the kinetic friction coefficient. Since the desk is moving with constant velocity there is not acceleration.

If 1.34 ✕ 1020 electrons move through a pocket calculator during a full day's operation, how many coulombs of charge moved throu
ioda

Given :

Number of operations move through a pocket calculator during a full day's operation , n=1.34 \times 10^{20} .

To Find :

How many coulombs of charge moved through it .

Solution :

We know , charge in  one electron is :

e^-=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ coulombs

So , charge on n electron is :

C=e^-\times n\\C=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.34\times 10^{20} \ C\\C=-21.44\ C

Therefore , -21.44 coulombs of charge is moved through it .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Scientists often say that light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation have a dual nature
Alex

Answer:

Behaves as a wave.

Explanation:

The dual nature of light means that light behaves as a wave. If the light consisted of small particles, the alternating light and dark bands would not have occurred.

Sometimes it behaves like a particle (called a photon), which explains how light travels in straight lines.

PLEASE HELP.You hit a hockey puck across an empty hockey rink. At first the puck moves quickly, but then it slows and comes to a
saveliy_v [14]
Hi there!

Two possible answers are air resistance and friction.

Friction is caused by the rubbing of the surface of the ground and the surface of the object. Although ice doesn't have much friction, it can still cause friction.

Air resistance is caused by friction between the air and the object. As the object moves along a surface, it collides into many air particles; thus, it slows down.

Hope this helps.
Have an awesome day! :)

85) List and discuss the structures of a long bone. 86) Discuss the organization of the five regions of the spine. 87) Explain h
Lisa [10]
85)
The bone structure from outside would be periosteum, cortical, cancellous then medulla. Periosteum is the area outside the bone that will supply nutrition into the outer part of the bone. Cortical is the layer where bone mineral deposition is intense. In this part, the bone is compact and hard. This is the part of the bone that has great strength.
Cancellous is part of the bone where it is not too hard but not too soft. Mineralization is not so dense like cortical layer. That makes this part looks spongy. 
In the medulla, most part is made from connective tissue and blood vessels. This part is responsible for the bone vascularization, which means the supply of mineral to the outer part is coming from the medulla. Mineralization is not much in the medulla, makes it not strong. Medulla or marrow also makes blood cells.

86)
The region of the spine would be cervical(neck), thoracal(chest), lumbar(back), sacrum then coccyx. The vertebrae in the neck are smaller since it did not need much strength but need more mobility. Lower part on the thoracal and lumbar is bigger and have a bigger process that will further stabilize the vertebrae. Thoracal vertebrae have a part on their side where the ribs attached. Sacrum shape was a kinda weird because it needs to be able to connect with the pelvis to make buttock. Coccyx the tailbone look like just a small remnant and doesn't seem to have a function in human.

87)
Axis is the name of cervical 2nd vertebral which was located below the atlas, 1st cervical vertebrae. Both of them doesn't have spinal processes that were stabilizing the side of vertebrae Axis also has an odontoid peg which will make the joint with atlas more flexible.
This effect makes the neck can turn to side easily. It also makes neck more mobile vertically, make a nodding movement is possible.
88)
Thre kind of joints would be: Synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, and diarthrosis.
In synarthrosis, the joint mostly made by fibrous so that it can move. The example of this joint would be suture in the skull. In children, the skull joint is not closed to permit the head to grow but in the adult, it is closed. 
Amphiarthrosis joint permits a small movement. This included the intervertebral disc.
Diarthrosis permit a wide degree of movement. This joint is more complex because it has the synovial membrane. The complex structure makes the joints more durable to shock. This was vital because organ with this join used frequently. The example of this joints would be femur and pelvic(hip) joints. Joints in arm and leg mostly diarthrosis joint.

_____ heat provides energy for thunderstorms and hurricanes. Polar Geothermal Nuclear Latent
NikAS [45]
The correct answer is Latent. Latent heat provides energy for thunderstorms and hurricanes. Hurricanes are a low pressure that is formed in warm oceans and the source of this energy is water vapor. Water vapor serves to be the food to the hurricanes because they release the latent heat of condensation.
