Answer:

F = 9.81 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's third le which tells us that the sum of forces on a body that remains static must be equal to one resulting from these forces in the opposite direction.

Let's perform a summation of forces on the vertical axis-y to determine the normal force N.

∑F = 0 (axis-y)

N - m*g = 0

where:

m = mass = 4 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

N - (4*9.81)=0\\N = 39.24 [N]

Now we know that the frictional force can be calculated using the following equation.

f = μ*N

where:

f = friction force [N]

μ = friction coefficient = 0.25

N = normal force = 39.24 [N]

Now replacing:

f = 0.25*39.24\\f = 9.81[N]

Then we perform a sum of forces on the X-axis equal to zero. This sum of forces allows us to determine the minimum force to be able to move the object in a horizontal direction.

∑F = 0 (axis-x)

F-f=0\\F-9.81=0\\F= 9.81[N]

If the coefficient was smaller, a smaller force (F) would be needed to start the movement, this can be easily seen by replacing the value of 0.25, by smaller values, such as 0.1 or 0.05.

If the coefficient were larger, a larger force would be needed.

Pluto has a shape that is nearly round, and it orbits the Sun. It has five known moons. Why is it called a dwarf planet and not
Vikentia [17]

Pluto has a shape that is nearly round, and it orbits the Sun. It has five known moons. It is called a dwarf planet and not a planet because its orbit is not cleared of like-sized or larger objects

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), Pluto has been mentioned as Dwarf Planet as it doesn't hold the standardisation to be counted as a Planet.

According to the standard criteria, a planet must have been surrounded by the orbit of the Sun, it must have significant mass to have a gravitational pull and hence, circular shape, and should have isolated surrounding.

But, Pluto has various celestial bodies in its vicinity that are larger in size. Hence, as concluded by the Union, any celestial body that does not has clear surrounding, is regarded as Dwarf Planet just like Pluto.

monochromatic light from a distant source is incident on a slit 0.75 mm wide. on screen 2 m away, the distance from the central
hjlf

Displacement from the center line for minimum intensity is 1.35 mm , width of the slit  is 0.75 so  Wavelength of the light  is 506.25.

<h3>How to find Wavelength of the light?</h3>

When a wave is bent by an obstruction whose dimensions are similar to the wavelength, diffraction is observed. We can disregard the effects of extremes because the Fraunhofer diffraction is the most straightforward scenario and the obstacle is a long, narrow slit.

This is a straightforward situation in which we can apply the

Fraunhofer single slit diffraction equation:

y = mλD/a

Where:

y = Displacement from the center line for minimum intensity =  1.35 mm

λ =  wavelength of the light.

D = distance

a = width of the slit = 0.75

m = order number = 1

Solving for λ

λ = y + a/ mD

Changing the information that the issue has provided:

λ = 1.35 * 10^-3 + 0.75 * 10^-3 / 1*2  

=5.0625 *10^-7 = 506.25

so

Wavelength of the light 506.25.

The answer to this question would be: <span>A) animals that live in deserts 

</span>Desert temperature is high, especially in the day, <span>An animal that lives in the desert needs to adapt to the high temperature either by reducing the heat or by increasing heat loss. By becoming nocturnal, the animal also able to evade the sunlight so it was less exposed to the heat. 
Unlike other option, the desert is lacking water. Desert is mostly dry and water would be a resource that hard to find. In this case, k</span><span>idneys adapted to check water loss would be a great help</span>
