Answer:

first of all since the value of mass of the object and force F(horizontal) or the relation between them is not mentioned , so there can be multiple effects and let us study them in cases.

Let us consider that mass of the object is m and the coefficient of friction is the coefficient of static friction of the surface{since friction can be static as well as dynamic} whose value(μ) as is given in the question is 0.2. Since the surface and the force applied are both horizontal so there will be no vertical component of the force applied which means that the normal force is N=weight of the object=mg where g is the acceleration due to gravity(9.8 m/s^2 on average on surface of earth).

Case 1:

When F<=μN. This means that when the value of F is less than or equal to μN then the static friction is equal to F. So the body remains stationary.

Case 2:

When F>μN. This means that when the value of F is greater than μN then the static friction is less than F. So the body starts moving and if the force applied F is constant then the body will start accelerating because coefficient of kinetic friction is less than that of static friction.

To be considered a source of water pollution, the source must include a chemical
forsale [732]

To be considered a source of water pollution, the source must include a chemical is false.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The water pollution may be caused either by chemicals or waste materials that doesn’t contain chemicals such as domestic wastes, organic compounds, heavy metals etc. The life on Earth mostly relies on water and air, and if these two gets polluted; the results will be dangerous.

Around 70% of the planet is covered with water and the present state of its purity is a matter of a serious thought. Looking over various pollutants, only chemical wastes are not responsible to pollute the water.

Instead, there is range of elements from plastic scraps to chemical wastes that comes from either the non-point sources or the point sources. There are organic waste materials, heavy metals, volcanic eruptions, Tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. are also responsible to contaminate water and affect the amphibians as well as humans.

What are the similarities between strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force
Artemon [7]
Alike because they both act on the quarks making up the nucleons and they have very short ranges. The Strong Nuclear Force is an attractive force between protons and neutrons that keep the nucleus together and the Weak Nuclear Force is responsible for the radioactive decay of certain nuclei. Which also makes them very different
