A man is pushing a box of mass m along the ground with a force F. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the gr

ound is μk​. The box is accelerating, but then the person stops pushing and the box slides to a halt. The person then starts pushing on the box again with a force F, but the box doesn't budge. The maximum coefficient of static friction between the box and the ground is μs​. Identify which of the following statements is true?
a. F > μk/μs
b. μk > μs
c. μkmg < F <= μsmg
d. μsmg= F

Answer: Option C.

Explanation:

When the box is moving, he pushes with a force F.

in this case, the coefficient is μk, and the box is accelerating, this means that the net force is not zero, so F is larger than the friction force.

When the box is still, the man pushes again with a force F, but now the box does not move, so there is no acceleration, which means that the net force is zero, then F is not greater than the maximum static friction force.

Now, the friction force between an object of mass M, and a surface with a coefficient of friction  μ is:  μ*m*g

where g is the gravitational acceleration.

Then, from the first part, we can conclude that:

μk*m*g < F

(the force F is larger than the kinetic friction force)

and from the second part, we know that:

F ≤  μs*m*g

(The force F is not greater than the static friction force)

If we write those two together, we have:

μk*m*g < F ≤  μs*m*g

Then the correct option is c.

Why do scientists often take several measurements of the same object, average them together, and use the average value as the me
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

To minimize the practical errors and improve the accuracy.

Explanation:

  • Scientists take several measurements and use the average of all the measured values to minimize the practical errors due to unavoidable circumstances and be close to the true value.
  • True value is the actual value of a measured parameter without any error, it is the value which is proposed in the design of a certain object.
  • Variations may occur in the measurement due to wear and tear, dust and air pressure. It is almost impossible to create ideal surrounding for the measurement procedure.

A brand of earplugs reduces the sound intensity level by 27 dB.By what factor do these earplugs reduce the acoustic intensity?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

27dB = 2.7 B

So I / I₀ = 10⁻²°⁷ ,  I₀ is intensity of main sound and I is intensity after reduction.

= 1.99 X 10⁻³

So intensity will reduce by 1.99 X 10⁻³  .

Answer:

i think..its fraction that its have multiple fractions on it..if you minus the 397 000-355 it should be 381+ so i say if you get the 5 multiply it by 9!! so you will get it!
