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.

The prefix for Bio is life so a biologist studies life of living organisms
The prefix for Geo is earth so it would be the study of earth.
What is in common would be animals and plants
what is different is an Geologist studies only earth Biologist studies everything living. I hope this was helpful and I didn't confuse you.

A machine shop worker reports the mass of an aluminum cube as 176 g. If one side of the cube measures 4 cm, what is the density
Zarrin [17]

-- Since it's a cube, its length, width, and height are all the same 4 cm .

-- Its volume is (length x width x height) = 64 cm³ .

-- Density = (mass) / (volume)

                = (176 g) / (64 cm³) 

                =         2.75 gm/cm³ .

What is the atomic mass of an element?
Alina [70]

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom, particle, or molecule. The atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in the atom. For example, Oxygen has 8 protons (as seen by the atomic number) and 8 neutrons which gives oxygen an atomic mass of 16.

what is the magnitude of g at a height above earth surface where free fall acceleration equal 6.5m/s2
ZanzabumX [31]
The magnitude of gravity is expressed in terms of its acceleration. So the magnitude of ' g ' at that altitude is exactly 6.5 m/s^2.
