Answer:

<em>The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N and acts opposite to the applied force.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force </u>

The Second Newton's law states that an object acquires acceleration when an unbalanced net force is applied to it.

The acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

If the object has zero net force, it won't get accelerated and its velocity will remain constant.

The m=2 kg block is being pulled across a horizontal surface by a force of F=15 N and we are told the block moves at a constant velocity. This means the acceleration is zero and therefore the net force is also zero.

Since there is an external force applied to the box, it must have been balanced by the force of friction, thus the force of friction has the same magnitude acting opposite to the applied force.

The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N opposite to the applied force.

What happens to light when it travels from air into water
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Water is more dense than air. When water goes through a denser thing, the light is "bent" more towards the "normal" which is a straight, vertical line.

Density is the best property to use, as while multiple different metals could create cubes with the same color, mass, or volume, no different metal could create a cube with the same mass and volume.  Density is based on mass and volume, and as a result no two different metals will have the same density.

A 1.2 L weather balloon on the ground has a temperature of 25°C and is at atmospheric pressure (1.0 atm). When it rises to an el
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

71.19 C

Explanation:

25C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Applying the ideal gas equation we have

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where P, V and T are the pressure, volume and temperature of the gas at 1st and 2nd stage, respectively. We can solve for the temperature and the 2nd stage:

T_2 = T_1\frac{P_2V_2}{P_1V_1} = 298\frac{0.77*1.8}{1.2*1} = 298*1.155 = 344.19 K = 344.19 - 273 = 71.19 C
