A 37 N block rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surface and the block ar
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of block = 37 N

Coefficients of static = 0.8

Kinetic friction = 0.4

Tension = 24 N

We need to calculate the maximum friction force

Using formula of friction force

f=\mu mg

Put the value into the formula

f=0.8\times37

f=29.6\ N

So, the tension must exceeds 29.6 N for the block to move

We need to calculate the frictional force acting on the block

Using formula of frictional force

f = \mu N

Put the value in to the formula

f=0.4\times37

f=14.8\ N

Hence, The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

On heating from low temperature at 1 atm of pressure which substance is most likely to sublime rather than melt?
cluponka [151]
Since the choices are not given, I can't give an exact answer. Sublimation is the physical change occurring from solid to gas. This is very rare because the molecular arrangement of a solid and gas are opposite to each other. Thus, it depends on the properties of the substance. For example, napthalene could sublime at room temperature.
