On a horizontal surface is located
Ierofanga [76]

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)

Gold in its pure form is too soft to be used for most jewelry. Therefore, the gold is mixed with other metals to produce an allo
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:18kt alloy contains

i) 75% of gold

rhogold=19.3g/cm^3

=75/100×19.3

=14.475g/cm^3

ii) 16% of silver

rhosilver=10.5g/cm^3

=16/100×10.5

=1.68g/cm^3

iii) 9% of copper

rhocopper =8.90g/cm^3

=9/100×8.9

=0.801g/cm^3

Overall density of 18kt gold

=(0.801+1.68+14.475)g/cm^3

=16.956g/cm^3

=17g/cm^3 to 3s.f

Give two examples of chemical energy being transformed into electrical energy
julsineya [31]
It can be used to create electricity and heat and can be found in propane , jet fuel, gasoline and other products. Wood - Dry wood stores chemical energy . This chemical energy is released as the wood burns, and it is burns, and it is converted into heat, which is also called thermal energy, and light energy. ( hope this be helpful)
