Answer:

Coefficient of friction =  Magnitude depends on the interacting materials

Friction = A force that acts parallel to the surface.

kinetic friction = A force that is constant regardless of the applied force

Normal = A force that acts perpendicular to the surface

Static friction = A force that increases as applied force increases up to some maximum value

Explanation:

Let's define all the forces, and then let's solve the problem.

Normal force:

When an object rests on some place (like a book on the table) the force that causes the book to not fall through the table is called the normal force, which is usually equal to the weight of the object and acts perpendicular to the surface where the object is resting.

Friction force.

When an object moves (or tries to move) parallel to a surface, such that the object is in contact with that surface, there appears a force that opposes to the movement (the force is parallel to the surface, and in the opposite direction to the movement).

And this force can be written as:

F = -N*μ

Where μ is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force.

If the object is not moving yet (but there is applied a force that would move the object) the coefficient is called the coefficient of static friction which increases in a given range, until it can't keep increasing and the object starts to move, while if the object is moving, the coefficient is called the coefficient of kinetic friction and it is constant, where usually the first one is larger than the second, and these coefficients depend on both materials, the surface one and the object one.

Then we have two friction forces, one called the kinetic friction and the other called the static friction.

Then:

Coefficient of friction =  Magnitude depends on the interacting materials

Friction = A force that acts parallel to the surface.

kinetic friction = A force that is constant regardless of the applied force

Normal = A force that acts perpendicular to the surface

Static friction = A force that increases as applied force increases up to some maximum value

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

9V

Explanation:

The potential difference across the terminal as the same and thats because we are assuming that the source has no internal resistance.

Internal resistance are usually little resistances in the supply.

The following equation is an example of decay?<br><br> 232/90 TH---4/2 HE +228/88 RA?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Alpha decay

Explanation:

  • Alpha decay is one of the three major types of decays, others being, beta decay and gamma decay.
  • <em><u>When a radioactive isotope undergoes alpha decay it emits alpha particles. An alpha particle is equivalent to the nucleus of Helium atom.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore, an atom undergoing decay, its atomic mass is decreased by 4 and its atomic number is decreased by 2. </u></em>
  • Thus, since 232/90 Th, has undergone alpha decay its mass number is reduced by 4 to 228 and its atomic number by 2 to 88, and becomes 228/88 Ra.

Star A and Star B have different apparent brightnesses but identical luminosities. Star A is 10 light years away from earth and
STALIN [3.7K]

intensity of a star is inversely depends on the square of the distance from the star

we can say it is given as

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

here we know that

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 36 times

also we know that

r_1 = 10 Ly

now we will have

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

36 = \frac{r_2^2}{10^2}

r_2 = 60 Ly

so other star is at distance 60 Light years
