A block of mass 27.00 kg sits on a horizontal surface with, coefficient of kinetic

Physics

Answer:

The force is  F  = 172 \ N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  mass of the block is  m_b  = 27.0 \ kg

     The  coefficient of  static friction is  \mu_s  =  0.65

     The coefficient of kinetic friction is  \mu_k  =  0.50

The  normal force acting on the block is  

      N  =  m *  g

substituting values

     N  =   27 *  9.8

     N  =   294.6  \  N

Given that the force we are to find is the force required to get the block to start moving then the force acting against this force is the static frictional force which is mathematically evaluated as

        F_f  =  \mu_s  *  N

substituting values

        F_f  =   0.65 *  264.6

        F_f  =   172 \ N

Now for this  block to move the force require is  equal to F_f i.e

       F= F_f

=>    F  = 172 \ N

What is the wavelength (in nm) of radiation that has an energy content of 1.0x10^2 kJ/mol?
hammer [34]
<span>Energy = h nu, where nu is the frequency
h = 6.63 x 10^-34 J-s, Planck's constant
So nu = E/h = 1 x 10^5 J /h = 0.15 x 10^29 / s
nu lambda = c, the speed of light.
lambda = wavelength = c / nu =3 x 10^8 / 0.15 x 10^29 = 20 x 10^-21 m.

this can possibly be a gamma ray. Gamma rays are very penetrating. It's both matter and an energy. They are electromagnetic radiation that results from a radioactive material.

When is static electricity most noticeable and why.
denis23 [38]

Answer:

You've probably noticed that static electricity is more noticeable during the winter months. This is because the air is very dry. In the summer, the humidity and moisture in the air help electrons move more quickly, which makes it harder to build up a big static charge.

A planet similar to the Earth has a radius 7.4 × 106 m and has an acceleration of gravity of 10 m/s 2 on the planet’s surface. T
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

1.5 hr

16.7

Explanation:

Zero apparent weight means there's no normal force.

Sum the forces in the centripetal direction.

∑F = ma

mg = mv²/r

v = √(gr)

v = √(7.4×10⁶ m × 10 m/s²)

v = 8602 m/s

The circumference of the equator is:

C = 2πr

C = 2π (7.4×10⁶ m)

C = 4.65×10⁷ m

So the period is:

T = C / v

T = (4.65×10⁷ m) / (8602 m/s)

T = 5405 s

T = 1.5 hr

The initial speed is:

v = C / T

v = (4.65×10⁷ m) / (25 h × 3600 s/h)

v = 517 m/s

The speed increases by a factor of:

8602 m/s / 517 m/s

We are just a bunch of molecules that hang out together but don't touch each other. Is this believable? If this is the case, wha
inn [45]
While the idea that we are a bunch of molecules that do not ever "touch" may seem counterintuitive, it is indeed the case. If we think about the structure of an atom, it is made of a nucleus composed of protons and neutrons, and surrounded by electrons. The electrons are moving at very high speeds in random directions all around the nucleus creating electromagnetic fields, defined by various wave functions. These electron clouds are essentially what do the "touching" between molecules.

When two molecules come in contact with each other, rather than solid particles physically touching, it is the two electron clouds of each molecule that are interacting and essentially repelling each other. If we try to bring two negatively charged species together, they will naturally repel one another. Therefore, when two electron clouds try to interact, the electrons will electrostatically repel each other. When this occurs, the force that each electron cloud exerts electrostatically on the other cloud is transmitted to their nuclei.This is how it is related to general objects applying forces to one another. The force of repulsion felt by the electron clouds is ultimately transmitted to the nerve cells in our skin which is perceived as pressure and a sense of touch, despite the fact that no particles are physically touching.
