Answer:
P= 454.11 N
Explanation:
Since P is the only horizontal force acting on the system, it can be defined as the product of the acceleration by the total mass of the system (both cubes).

The friction force between both cubes (F) is defined as the normal force acting on the smaller cube multiplied by the coefficient of static friction. Since both cubes are subject to the same acceleration:

In order for the small cube to not slide down, the friction force must equal the weight of the small cube:

The smallest magnitude that P can have in order to keep the small cube from sliding downward is 454.11 N
Answer:
2.8 cm
Explanation:
= Separation between two first order diffraction minima = 1.4 cm
D = Distance of screen = 1.2 m
m = Order
Fringe width is given by

Fringe width is also given by

For second order

Distance between two second order minima is given by


The distance between the two second order minima is 2.8 cm
Of the materials listed wood is the best insulator. It would be the least hot if exposed to similar temperatures.
Acceleration = velocity / time.
