The box is pushed to the right with a force of 40 Newtons and it just begins to move what is the maximum static frictional force
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The maximum static frictional force is 40N.

Explanation:

When an object of mass M is on a surface with a coefficient of static friction μ, there is a minimum force that you need to apply to the object in order to "break" the coefficient of static friction and be able to move the object (Called the threshold of motion, once the object is moving we have a coefficient of kinetic friction, which is smaller than the one for static friction).

This coefficient defines the maximum static friction force that we can have.

So if we apply a small force and we start to increase it, the static frictional force will be equal to our force until it reaches its maximum, and then we can move the object and now we will have frictional force.

In this case, we know that we apply a force of 40N and the object just starts to move.

Then we can assume that we are just at the point of transition between static frictional force and kinetic frictional force (the threshold of motion), thus, 40 N is the maximum of the static frictional force.

A jet aircraft is traveling at 260 m/s in horizontal flight. The engine takes in air at a rate of 53.3 kg/s and burns fuel at a
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The thrust of the jet engine is 4188.81 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 260 m/s

Rate in air= 53.3 kg/s

Rate of fuel = 3.63 kg/s

Relative speed = 317 m/s

We need to calculate the rate of mass change in the rocket

Using formula of rate of mass

\dfrac{dM}{dt}=\dfrac{dM_{a}}{dt}+\dfrac{dM_{f}}{dt}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{dM}{dt}=53.3+3.63

\dfrac{dM}{dt}=56.93\ kg/s

We need to calculate the thrust of the jet engine

Using formula of thrust

T=\dfrac{dM}{dt}u-\dfrac{dM_{a}}{dt}v

Put the value into the formula

T=56.93\times317-53.3\times260

T=4188.81\ N

Hence, The thrust of the jet engine is 4188.81 N.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Hypothesis:

When a scientist see lizard behaving in this way in each rainystrom in the desert,  he can make a hypothesis about the lizard’s way of drinking water. He can say that lizard spread its legs to wide body. In this way it catches and carry water in microscopic channels on its body. These channels lead water to its mouth and it drinks this water by opening and closing mouth continuously.
