Answer:

<em>We need to (at least) apply a force of 9.8 N to move the block</em>

Explanation:

<u>Second Newton's Law</u>

If a net force F_n different from zero is applied to an object of mass m, then it will move at an acceleration a, given by

F_n=ma

If we apply a force F to an object placed on a rough surface, the only way to make it move is to beat the friction force  which is given by

F_r=\mu F_N

Where \mu is the static friction coefficient and F_N is the normal force exerted by the table to the object. Since there is no motion in the vertical direction the normal force equals the weight of the object:

F_N=mg=5\ kg\ 9.8\ m/s^2=49\ N

The friction force is

F_r=0.2 (49)=9.8\ N

Thus, we need to (at least) apply a force of 9.8 N to move the block

What do thermal energy and electrical energy have in common
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

you can write some points its an explanation

and similarities. or common

Explanation:

Thermal energy refers to the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature. Heat is the flow of thermal energy. A whole branch of physics, thermodynamics, deals with how heat is transferred between different systems and how work is done in the process (see the 1ˢᵗ law of thermodynamics).

The faster the atoms or molecules move, the more heat or thermal energy they have. ... A hair straightener turns the electrical energy from a wall outlet into heat (thermal energy). 4. As electricity runs through the filaments in a space heater, the electrical energy is converted into heat (thermal energy).

a rectangular garden has a perimeter of 54 feet. it's length is 3 less than twice its width. write and solve an equation to solv
Yanka [14]
2(L+W)=54
L=2W-3
Substitute L in the first equation:
2((2W-3)+W)=54. 
Divide by 2:
(2W-3)+W=27
Simplify by collecting like terms:
3W-3=27. 
Add 3:
3W=30.
Divide by 3 to get that 
W=10. 
Substitute the L and W relations to get 
L=2W-3
L=2*10-3
L=17. 
The answers are length is 17 and width is 10.
