Answer:

161.7N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the box  = 55kg

Coefficient of friction  = 0.3

Applied force  = 140N

Unknown:

Frictional force on the box = ?

Solution:

The frictional force on the box is a force that opposes the motion of the box.

To find the value of this force;

        Fr  = u m g

u is the coefficient of static friction

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

 So;

     Fr  = 0.3 x 55 x 9.8  = 161.7N

A person is just as likely to become dehydrated in the cold as in the heat. Please select the best answer from the choices provi
alexdok [17]
The answer would be A) TRUE because we as humans can be dehydrated easily just by working out in sun or working out in the cold winter, that's how our body burns fat and calories, but it also burns our eyes since sweat has salt in it, and dehydrated means to run out of water for us, like not enough water, but yes to the answer its T.

Suppose the green car was traveling at 0 miles the white car was traveling at 70 miles at the red car was trailing at 22 miles w
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The white car will cover the most distance every second.

Explanation:

The formula for the uniform speed of an object is given as follows:

s = vt

where,

s = distance covered by the object

v = speed of the object

t = time required

Now, if we assume time to be  constant at 1 s. Then the distance covered by each car will be directly proportional to the speed of the car. Hence, the car with the greatest speed will travel the greatest distance in 1 second.

We, have:

Speed of white car > Speed of red car > Speed of green car

<u>Therefore, the white car will cover the most distance every second.</u>

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

When Helium is identified by astronomers is one of the great triumphs of spectroscopy.

Explanation:

Janssen managed to do this great triumphs on August 18, 1868 . Janssen was the first person to introduce the helium, an element that never seen before on Earth, in the solar spectrum. At that time, he didn’t know that what he’d seen—he just think that it was something new. In the mid of 1800, the spectroscope instrument is introduced in astronomy.

Later on we heard that all helium in Universe has been created by the fusion of hydrogen nuclei.
