ou are pushing a 20-kg box along a horizontal floor. Friction acts on the box. When you apply a horizontal force of magnitude 48

N, the box moves at a constant velocity. What is the magnitude of the frictional force on the box?

Answer:

Frictional force is 48N.

Explanation:

The box is moving at constant velocity so the acceleration of the box is zero. When a body moves with a constant velocity it has no acceleration and the net force on it zero. This is from Newtown's first law of motion.

Let the force you apply in pushing the box be F and the frictional force be Ff.

From Newtown's first law,

F – Ff = 0

F = Ff or Ff = F

In the question the force applied is 48N

Therefore,

Ff= F = 48N

This tells us that only an amount of force that balances the frictional force is needed to keep the box moving at constant velocity.

Answer:

The magnitude of the frictional force is 48.02 N

Explanation:

Mass of box = 20 kg

Weight of the box (Normal reaction) = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 20 ×9.8 = 196 N

Horizontal force applied = 48 N

Coefficient of friction = horizontal force ÷ normal reaction = 48 ÷ 196 = 0.245

Frictional force = coefficient of friction × normal reaction = 0.245 × 196 N = 48.02 N

If your body is dehydrated, the control center in the brain will stimulate the release of a hormone which causes the reabsorptio
Yanka [14]

Answer:

It is an example of negative feedback mechanism

Explanation:

Negative feedback mechanism is the process by which the output of a system, process or mechanism is fed back into the input in order to reduce the error in the system.

In the system described in this question, the reabsorption of water is the output, a feedback signal is sent to the control center, which is the input in order to control the release of the hormone responsible for reabsorption of water into the blood.

When looking at a food label, to be considered a good source of a nutrient, the nutrient must be? A.More than 20% of your daily
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

A. More than 20% of your daily recommended amount.

Explanation:

Reading food labels can be tricky. The percent daily value listed on the right of all food labels lets you know what percent out of the recommended daily intake of each nutrient you are consuming in that specific food.

To check if the food you're consuming is a good source of that nutrient you need in higher amount, the nutrient must be labeled 20% or higher.

The rule used here is called the 5/20 rule. According to this rule, A nutrient that is 5% or below is considered less and a nutrient which is labeled 20% or higher is considered good enough in that food source.
