Because there is no record of all things. As we have partially unknow information, it can never be held as a fact.

You pull with a force of 77 N on a piece of luggage of mass 23 kg, but it does

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The force of static friction acting on the luggage is, Fₓ = 180.32 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the luggage, m = 23 kg

You pulled the luggage with a force of, F = 77 N

The coefficient of static friction of luggage and floor, μₓ = 0.8

The formula for static frictional force is,

Fₓ = μₓ · η

Where,

η - normal force acting on the luggage 'mg'

Substituting the values in the above equation,

Fₓ = 0.8 x 23 x 9.8

= 180.32 N

Hence, the minimum force require to pull the luggage is, Fₓ = 180.32 N

An ice cube at 0c was dropped into 30.0 g of water in a cup at 45.0c. at the instant that all of the ice was melted, the tempera

Ede4ka [16]

The amount of heat given by the water to the block of ice can be calculated by using
$Q=m_w C_{sw} \Delta T_w$
where
$m_w = 30 g$ is the mass of the water
$C_{sw}=4.18 J/(g ^{\circ}C)$ is the specific heat capacity of water
$\Delta T_w = 45.0^{\circ}-19.5^{\circ}C = 20.5^{\circ}C$ is the variation of temperature of the water.

Using these numbers, we find
$Q=(30 g)(4.18 J/(g^{\circ}C))(20.5^{\circ}C)=2571 J$

This is the amount of heat released by the water, but this is exactly equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the ice, used to melt it into water according to the formula:
$Q = m_i L_f$
where $m_i$ is the mass of the ice while $L_f =334 J/g$ is the specific latent heat of fusion of the ice.
Re-arranging this formula and using the heat Q that we found previously, we can calculate the mass of the ice:
$m_i = \frac{Q}{L_f}= \frac{2571 J}{334 J/g} =7.7 g$

You plug in an extension cord and have to be very careful around the electrical outlet. However, you can handle the extension co

a_sh-v [17]

I believe that the best statement which explains why you can do this is C. <span>The extension cord is made of copper wire, which is a good conductor of electricity; however, it is covered with plastic, an insulator, which does not allow the electrical current to flow to you.
Copper is known to be one of the best conductors of electricity, and plastic can shield you from shock.
