we know if we apply the force along the left, friction acts along the right and vice versa.But what about an object which is not

Answer:

<em>Explanation below</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When two objects are in contact, the surface between them exerts a frictional force as long as the objects are tried to move with respect to each other.

If a given external force is applied to the left, then a friction force appears to the right and opposes the intent to move them. A similar situation occurs when the force is applied to the right side.

If the object is at rest and no force is applied, no friction force appears.

It's important to recall that two different friction forces are defined: the kinetic friction force and the static friction force, usually the latter is greater than the first.

A vertical wire carries a current straight down. To the east of this wire, the magnetic field points: A) toward the east. B) tow
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

the correct answer is option E

the direction of magnetic field will be found out with the help of right hand rule.

Put you palm in the direction of electric field and curl your finger in the direction of magnetic field which east direction.

 now, the direction shown by the thumb will be the direction of magnetic field  which comes out to be toward South direction.

If an astronaut has a mass of 16 Kg on Earth, what would be his mass on the moon and on the space station
nlexa [21]

Answer:

The astronaut's mass is 16 kg.

Explanation:

Mass can be defined as a measure of the amount of matter an object or a body comprises of. The standard unit of measurement of the mass of an object or a body is kilograms.

Irrespective of the location of an object or a body at a given moment in time, the mass (amount of matter that they're made up of) is constant. This ultimately implies that, whether you're in the moon, space, earth or any other place, your mass remains the same (constant).

Therefore, if an astronaut has a mass of 16 Kg on Earth, his mass on the moon and on the space station would remain the same, as his original mass of 16 Kg because mass is indestructible.

If potential energy at point A is 12 joules, what is the potential energy at D?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

In D: 3J

Explanation:

Potential energy: Ep=mgh where m is the mass, h altitude.

In point A: h=20cm=0.2m

Epa=12=0.2×mg. Thus mg=12/0.2=60N

For point D: hd=5cm=0.05m

Epd=mg×0.05=60×0.05=3J

which unit of measure would scientist use to measure the thickness of rock layer, created as a result of volcanic activity
frozen [14]
A scientist would use a unit of length appropriate for the magnitude of what he or she is measuring. In this case, since rock is built up very slowly, they would probably use millimetres or centimetres. In some cases they may use meters.
