Jonah is trying to move his 22-kg desk by pushing on it with a force of 130 N, but his brother is leaning on it with a downward

force of 24 N, just preventing it from moving. What is the coefficient of static friction between the desk and the floor?

Answer:

0.54

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are 5 forces on the desk:

Weight force mg pulling down

Applied force 24 N pushing down

Normal force Fn pushing up

Applied force 130 N pushing right

Friction force Fnμ pushing left

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn − mg − 24 = 0

Fn = mg + 24

Fn = (22)(9.8) + 24

Fn = 240

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

130 − Fnμ = 0

Fnμ = 130

μ = 130 / Fn

μ = 130 / 240

μ = 0.54

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

reading of scale = reaction force of surface R

centripetal force = R - mg = m v² / R , m is mass , v is velocity and R is radius of the circular path .

R = mg + m v² / R

given ,

m v² / R = .80 mg

v² = .80 x g x R

= .8 x 9.8 x 9 = 70.56

v = 8.4 m /s

molecular cloud <interstellar cloud <1 Msun protostar <1 Msun star <intercloud gas

Explanation:

<u>Molecular cloud-</u> They are a variety of interstellar cloud in which molecular hydrogen can sustain themselves. They have a very low temperature ranging from -440 to -370 degrees Fahrenheit or between<u> 10 to 50 Kelvin. </u>Owing to their extremely low temperature, they appear mostly dark when viewed through telescopes.

<u>Interstellar cloud-</u> They are a congregation of a large number of interstellar gases, dust and plasma in any galaxy or universe. They have varying temperature depending on their proximity to a star. E.g. Neutral hydrogen atom clouds have a temperature of around <u>just 100 Kelvin</u> while those in the near vicinity of a star have temperatures as high as 10,000 Kelvin.

<u>1 Msun star-</u> These stars have temperature anywhere between <u>5300 and 6000 Kelvin</u>. The main source of such high surface temperature is nuclear fusion process where elemental hydrogen molecules are fused to form helium molecules.  

<u>1 Msun protostar-</u> protostar is rather a young star which is still in formation phase (i.e. gathering mass from the parent molecular cloud). They have temperature anywhere between <u>2000-3000</u> kelvin and are accompanied by dust usually.

<u>Intercloud gas- </u>These are the remainder gases that are spread throughout the interstellar space. This Intercloud gas is divided into warm intercloud medium and extremely hot coronal gas with temperatures comparing to Sun’s corona. Warm intercloud forms the dominant part of intercloud gas with a temperature around <u>8000 Kelvin</u>.
