The crate only moves horizontally, so its net vertical force is 0. The only forces acting in the vertical direction are the crate's weight (pointing downward) and the normal force of the surface on the crate (pointing upward). By Newton's second law, we have

∑ <em>F</em> (vertical) = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0   →   <em>n</em> = <em>mg</em> = 1876 N

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force.

In the horizontal direction, the crate is moving at a constant speed and thus with no acceleration, so it's completely in equilibrium and the net horizontal force is also 0. The only forces acting on it in this direction are the 747 N push (pointing in the direction of the crate's motion) and the kinetic friction opposing it (pointing in the opposite direction). By Newton's second law,

∑ <em>F</em> (horizontal) = 747 N - <em>f</em> = 0   →   <em>f</em> = 747 N

The frictional force is proportional to the normal force by a factor of the coefficient of kinetic friction, <em>µ</em>, such that

<em>f</em> = <em>µn</em>   →   <em>µ</em> = <em>f</em> / <em>n</em> = (747 N) / (1876 N) ≈ 0.398188 ≈ 0.40

ozzi

Answer:

If the mesosphere did not exist, Earth might be destroyed by chunks of rock from space.

The stratosphere is located 12 to 50 kilometers from Earth's surface.

Both the trophosphere and mesosphere get colder as altitude increases.

The ozone in the stratosphere protects people from ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

The thermosphere has the highest temperature of any layer in Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation:

Different layers of the atmosphere are;

  • Troposphere

It is the lowest layer of atmosphere that begins at ground level and extends upward to about 10 km. In this layer, all organisms live, weather occurs and most clouds appear. As altitude increases, the temperature decreases i.e., the layer gets colder.

  • Stratosphere

This layer is located at the top of the troposphere  and extends up to about 50 km from Earth's surface. The ozone layer present in this layer absorbs high-energy ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun. Here, the temperature rises with altitude. The passenger jets are usually fly in this layer.

  • Mesosphere

Above the stratosphere, the mesosphere extends upward to about 85 km from Earth's surface. The chunks of rock from space such as meteors burn upon entering the mesosphere and protect the Earth. In this layer, the temperature gets colder as altitude increases and so the coldest temperatures (about -90° C) in Earth's atmosphere are found at the top of this layer.  

  • Thermosphere

This layer is located above the mesosphere and the air here is really very thin. The thermosphere absorbs high-energy X-rays and UV radiation from the Sun and as a result, its temperature increases to hundreds or thousands of degrees i.e., 1,500° C or higher. This layer extends up to 500 to 1,000 km from the ground. Many satellites orbit Earth within this layer.

  • Ionosphere

The ionosphere is actually an extension of the thermosphere and so it is not a distinct layer like the others. It is filled with charged particles produced from the ionization of molecules by high temperatures in the thermosphere caused by the high-energy radiation from the Sun. The phenomenon called auroras (Northern Lights and Southern Lights) occurs in this layer. The different regions of the ionosphere reflecting the radio waves back to Earth and make the long-distance radio communication possible.

What is keeping all variables the same except for the one being tested an example of?
stepan [7]

Answer:

A fair test.

Explanation:

Hi, a fair test is used to do scientifically valuable experiments, is a controlled investigation to answer a scientific question.

In a fair test two or more things are compared.

It consists in changing only one factor (the one bieng tested) and keeping all the other conditions the same during an experiment.

The factor is called a variable.
