Answer:

(a) Frictional Force = 16 N

(b) Frictional Force = 10.5 N

Explanation:

(a) FOR TENSION OF 16 N:

First we find the static friction force (Fst):

Fst = (μs)(W)

Fst = (0.6)(35 N)

Fst = 21 N

Since, Tension < Fst

Frictional Force = Tension

<u>Frictional Force = 16 N</u>

<u></u>

(b) FOR TENSION OF 38 N:

Since, Tension > Fst

Frictional Force = Kinetic Friction = (μk)(W) = (0.3)(35 N) =  

<u>Frictional Force = 10.5 N</u>

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity of the sun on earth.

That is,

Intensity of sun on the other planet, Iₒ = (intensity of the sun on earth, Iₑ)/100

Explanation:

Let the intensity of light be represented by I

Let the distance of the star be d

I ∝ (1/d²)

I = k/d²

For the earth,

Iₑ = k/dₑ²

k = Iₑdₑ²

For the other planet, let intensity be Iₒ and distance be dₒ

Iₒ = k/dₒ²

But dₒ = 10dₑ

Iₒ = k/(10dₑ)²

Iₒ = k/100dₑ²

But k = Iₑdₑ²

Iₒ = Iₑdₑ²/100dₑ² = Iₑ/100

Iₒ = Iₑ/100

Meaning the intensity of the sun on the other planet is a hundredth of that of the intensity on earth.

Why are there so few working wave power stations?
Bond [772]
Well mostly because it's for oceans and lakes that have waves. so if you don't live near any of these, you wouldn't be getting power. <span />

Arisa [49]
The first law states that “objects at rest and objects in motion remain in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force”. Keeping the ice smooth will make sure there is not friction, friction would slow the puck down

The speed of a sound wave traveling through air is 400 meters per second. The wavelength of the wave is 25 meters What is the
sweet [91]

Answer:

16Hz

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of sound  = 400m/s

Wavelength  = 25m

Unknown:

Frequency of the wave  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

      V  = F ∧  

V is the velocity

F is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

      400  = F x 25

        F  = 16Hz

Is it possible for an object that has a constant negative acceleration to change the direction in which it is moving? Explain wh
lozanna [386]
Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.
