Physics

Ierofanga [76]3 years ago

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that

<em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

where <em>n</em> = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and <em>w</em> = weight of the object. Hence <em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>mg</em> = 196 N, where <em>m</em> = 20 kg and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².

The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of <u>static</u> friction <em>µ</em> is such that

80 N = <em>µ</em> (196 N)   →   <em>µ</em> = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408

Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of <u>kinetic</u> friction <em>ν</em> is

40 N = <em>ν</em> (196 N)   →   <em>ν</em> = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204

And so the closest answer is C.

(Note: <em>µ</em> and <em>ν</em> are the Greek letters mu and nu)

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

For the first blank, the answer is decreases. For the second blank, the answer is increases. And finally for the third blank, the answer is decreases.

Explanation:

For the first blank, the answer is decreases. For the second blank, the answer is increases. And finally for the third blank, the answer is decreases.

When a liquid is cooled, the kinetic energy of the particles decreases. The force of attraction between the particles increases, the space between the particles decreases, and the matter changes its state to solid.

Why would knowing the characteristics of circuits be important in designing electrical circuits?
blondinia [14]
The characteristic of a circuit actually indicate how the circuit functions. When one designs a circuit they have a specific function in mind and must know how to combine components in order to fulfill this functions.
