Answer:

smallest magnitud is P=33.3 N

Explanation:

We are analyze the situation as an external force is applied and there is a friction force. We have a problem with Newton's second law.

F = ma

As the two blocks go together they must have the same acceleration, so we can calculate this for the entire system

P = (m1 + m2) a

a = P / (m1 + m2)

In this case there is no friction force because the small block does not touch the ground.

In order to calculate the friction force, we must analyze each system component separately.

The large block on the X axis has an applied P force and as it moves feels a force from the small block. In the Y axis has the weight (W1) and the reaction to normal (N1)

For the small block on the X axis, the force it feels is the thrust of the large block, note that this is an action and reaction force between the two blocks, it is the same definition we have of the normal one, so we can call this force (N)

Y axis it has the weight (W2) down, the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement, so it is directed upwards. we write these equations

N = m2 a

fr -W2 = 0

fr = W2

The definition of friction force is

fr = μ N

Let's replace and calculate

μ (m2 a) = m2 g

μ (P / (m1 + m2)) = g

P = g /μ (m1 + m2)

Let's calculate the value of this force

P = 9.8 / 0.710 (28.9 +4.4)

P = 13.80 (33.3)

P = 33.3 N

This is the minimum friction force that prevents the block from sliding down

Acceleration is positive when you are speeding up.

Vikki [24]

Answer:

B Negative

Explanation:

Its negative because when your going 25 mph your moving faster and when your coming up to the stop sign you will start to slow down going 10 mph then 0 mph when you reach the stop sign so it will be negative.

How do earthquakes affect earths surface?

ivanzaharov [21]

Some of the reasons that can cause can earthquake are volcanic eruptions, the grinding of tectonic plates beneath the earth's crust and violent explosions which can be artificially induced as well. No matter what the reason is, earthquakes affect the environment and earth's surface. Noticeable cracks have formed on the earth's surface after earthquakes. If the tremors are violent, it can result in the destruction of landscapes. The mountains become prone to land sliding. the glacier's become a threat because of fear of avalanches. tsunamis which are earthquakes in the ocean bed can cause heavy flooding which causes water to cross all boundaries and shores and flood entire cities. Earthquakes caused by volcanoes can result in the spewing of so much lava that it may spill everywhere and cool changing the surface of the earth geologically as well as the ash causing aerial pollution.

How is life determined on math

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

you can use math as a banker, a doctor, a scientist, the president probably uses math, you use math to see how much less juice you gave your sibling, and you can use math to help in collage! (sorry if its wrong tell me if it is)

How can you determine the rate of a chemical reaction?

DanielleElmas [232]

Take a look at a simple reaction like the one below:

In this reaction some reactant A is turned into some product B. The rate of reaction can be represented by a decrease in concentration of A over time or as the increase of B over time. This is written:
