Two wooden crates rest on top of one another. The smaller top crate has a mass of m1 = 25 kg and the larger bottom crate has a m

ass of m2 = 91 kg. There is NO friction between the crate and the floor, but the coefficient of static friction between the two crates is µs = 0.79 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two crates is µk = 0.62. A massless rope is attached to the lower crate to pull it horizontally to the right (which should be considered the positive direction for this problem).1)The rope is pulled with a tension T = 234 N (which is small enough that the top crate will not slide). What is the acceleration of the small crate?2)In the previous situation, what is the magnitude of the frictional force the lower crate exerts on the upper crate?3)What is the maximum tension that the lower crate can be pulled at before the upper crate begins to slide?4)The tension is increased in the rope to 1187 N causing the boxes to accelerate faster and the top box to begin sliding. What is the acceleration of the upper crate?m/s25)As the upper crate slides, what is the acceleration of the lower crate?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the bigger crate be in touch with the ground which is friction less. In the first case both m₁ and m₂ will move with common acceleration because m₁ is not sliding over m₂.

1 ) Common acceleration a = force / total mass

= 234 / ( 25 +91 )

= 2.017 m s⁻².

2 ) Force on m₁ accelerating it , which is nothing but friction force on it by m₂

= mass x acceleration

= 25 x 2.017

= 50.425 N

The same force will be applied by m₁ on m₂ as friction force which will act in opposite direction.

3 ) Maximum friction force that is possible between m₁ and m₂

= μ_s m₁g

= .79 x 25 x 9.8

= 193.55 N

Acceleration of m₁

= 193 .55 / 25

= 7.742 m s⁻²

This is the common acceleration in case of maximum tension required

So tension in rope

= ( 25 +91 ) x 7.742

= 898 N

4 ) In case of upper crate sliding on m₂ , maximum friction force on m₁

=  μ_k m₁g

= .62 x 25 x 9.8

= 151.9 N

Acceleration of m₁

= 151.9 / 25

= 6.076 m s⁻².

The atmosphere protects us from _____ and _____.
sveticcg [70]

Answer: B. meteorites, UV rays

The earth's atmosphere plays an important role in shielding the space rocks and meteorites enters inside the earth due to collision with the celestial body. Due to high heat and pressure in the mesospheric layer of the atmosphere these meteorites burned up before reaching the biosphere or hydrosphere system of the earth. The UV rays are protected from entering into the earth atmosphere by the ozone layer present in the stratosphere of the atmosphere. Both meteorites and UV rays can negatively effect the human population. Therefore, the atmosphere is an agent which provides protection against them.

Describe an Activity to show magnetic poles doesn't seperated<br>​
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

We know that pole is the point where the strength of the magnet is maximum. So more and more iron particles will be attracted at poles of a magnet when we bring a magnet near the iron particles. We will observe the crowdness of particles at the ends of magnet. This indicates the presence of two poles in a magnet. Hence poles are present in a magnet in pair. If a magnet is divided into two parts, each part also possesses a pair of poles.

Two properties of a magnet are: A magnet always has two poles: north pole and south pole. Like magnetic poles repel each other and unlike magnetic poles attract each other.
