Answer:
If the force applied is larger than 185.2 N, yes.
Explanation:
In order to move the table, the pushing force must be larger than the frictional force. The frictional force is given by:
where
is the coefficient of static friction
is the mass of the table
is the gravitational acceleration
Substituting,
So, we are able to move the table if we push with a force larger than 185.2 N.
Answer:
b- a bicycle sitting on the ground
Explanation:
'Static' means it's not moving.
So, only the answer listed as "a bicycle sitting on the ground" corresponds to that condition.
All others possible answers describe something that is moving (an apple falling, a motorcycle accelerating, a car moving at a constant speed). Even if they are going at a constant speed, they are moving, so not static.
Answer:
<em>The best explanation is that the first person is grounded to the earth, and his/her body either draws up negative charges from the earth, or tend to conducts negative charges to the earth, depending on the charge on the balloon.</em>
Explanation:
The earth is an infinite store for charges. In the first case where the second person brings a negatively charged balloon towards the first person, the negative charges on the balloon induces the first person's body to tend to attract the negative charges on the balloon through the first person's body to the positive charges within the earth. In the second case when again a positively charged balloon is brought near the first person's hair, the positive charges on the balloon induce the first person's body into drawing up negative charges from within the earth. This charges, and their opposite induced charges, create an attractive force between the hair strands and the balloons.
