Answer : The static friction depends on two factors

1. Roughness of the surface

2. Force

Explanation : Friction occur when surface is not smooth.

The formula of friction is

$F= \mu mg$

Static friction depends on the roughness of the surface and force which is trying to push to object along the surface.

Static friction is caused by the attraction between two surfaces that are in contact. when the surface will rough and the object will heavier then the force will be larger.

A wire is oriented along the x-axis. It is connected to two batteries, and a conventional current of 2.6 A runs through the wire

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire is 0.2298 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that, the magnitude of magnetic force is given as;

|F $_{mg}^>$ | = I( $B^>$ × $L^>$ )

given that

I = 2.6 A

$B^>$ = 0.17

$L^>$ = 0.52

so we substitute

|F $_{mg}^>$ | = 2.6( 0.17i" × 0.52j" )

|F $_{mg}^>$ | = 0.2298 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire is 0.2298 N

A positively charged objectwith a mass of 0.114 kg oscillates at the end of a spring, generating ELF (extremely low frequency) r

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

k = 167.33 N/m

Explanation:

The radio waves have a fixed relationship between the propagation speed (the speed of light in vacuum), the frequency and the wavelength, as follows:
v = c = λ*f

where c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s, λ = wavelength =

4.92*10⁷ m.

Solving for f, we get the frequency of the radio waves:

f = 6.1 Hz

Now, from the Hooke's law, we know that the mass attached at the end of the spring oscillates with an angular frequency defined by a fixed relationship between the spring constant k and the mass m, as follows:

$\omega_{o}^{2} =\frac{k}{m} (1)$

Now, we know that there exists a fixed relationship between the angular frequency and the frequency, as follows:

$\omega = 2*\pi *f (2)$

We also know that f in (2) is the same that we got for the radio waves, so replacing (2) in (1), and rearranging terms, we can solve for k, as follows:
$k = 4*\pi ^{2}*f^{2} *m = 4*\pi ^{2} * (6.1Hz)^{2} * 0.114 kg = 167.33 N/m$

Oceanic water particles mainly move in circles; is this movement greater on the ocean's surface or below the surface? Explain yo

goblinko [34]

I think that the oceanic water particles mainly move in circles greater in the oceans surface because of how big the waves can be and how wind and air impact the motion. The water particles move more on the surface because of the other factors that impact it such as people, wind, air, etc...

A) 1.2-kg ball is hanging from the end of a rope. The rope hangs at an angle 20° from the vertical when a 19 m/s horizontal wind

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Part a)

$F_v = 4.28 N$

Part B)

$L = 1.02 m$

Part C)

$v = 1.25 m/s$

Explanation:

Part A)

As we know that ball is hanging from the top and its angle with the vertical is 20 degree

so we will have

$Tcos\theta = mg$

$T sin\theta = F_v$

$\frac{F_v}{mg} = tan\theta$

$F_v = mg tan\theta$

$F_v = 1.2\times 9.81 (tan20)$

$F_v = 4.28 N$

Part B)

Here we can use energy theorem to find the distance that it will move

$-\mu mg cos\theta L + mg sin\theta L = -\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$(-(0.37)m(9.81) cos15 + m(9.81) sin15)L = - \frac{1}{2}m(1.4)^2$

$(-3.5 + 2.54)L = - 0.98$

$L = 1.02 m$

Part C)

At terminal speed condition we know that

$F_v = mg$

$bv^2 = mg$

$2.5 v^2 = 3.9$

$v = 1.25 m/s$

Sound waves are mechanical waves. Which statement is true for this type of wave?

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium in order to transport their energy. Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. ... Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum.
