Explanation:

1. Mass of the box, m = 10 kg

Weight of an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity. Its expression is given by :

W = mg

$W=10\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2$

W = 98 N

2. The normal force acting on an object is equal to its weight. So, N = 98 N

3. If the box is pushed to the left with 20 N of force and it is not moving, then there is a force acting on it which is called frictional force. The static friction force have magnitude of 20 N and it is acting in opposite direction of motion.

4. When the pushing force is increased to 40 N and the box begins to move, then the maximum static frictional force is equal to applied force i.e. 40 N.

The weight of an object is its mass times acceleration.

Weight of the box = (10kg)(9.81m/s^2) = 98.1N

If the box is at rest, then the normal force is equal to the weight of the box:

Normal force = 98.1N

If the box does not move, then the static friction force with 20 N is also 20N

Static Friction Force = 20N

If the box begins to move at 40, the maximum static friction force is equal to 40N

Maximum static friction force = 40N

Solve for the length of the inclined plane if the angle equals 19.45 degrees.

mel-nik [20]

The length of the inclined plane is approximately 12 ft

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

<h3>Right triangle</h3>

Right triangle have one of its angle as 90 degrees.

Therefore,

The length of the inclined plane is the hypotenuse of the triangle. The length of the inclined plane can be found using trigonometric ratios.

height = 4 ft

angle(∅) = 19.45°

sin 19.45 = 4 / h

h = 4 / 0.33298412235

h = 12.0125847796

h = 12 ft

Therefore, the length of the inclined plane is approximately 12 ft

A small compass is placed near a current-carrying wire. The wire is vertical, and the compass is on a horizontal surface. The re

azamat

Answer:

The direction of magnetic field produced by a current carrying wire is given by the right hand thumb rule. If the thumb points in the direction of current the fingers curl along the direction of magnetic field.

further, The red end of the compass needle points in the direction of external magnetic field. As the red end of the needle is pointing away from us, the external magnetic field at its location should also be directed away from us. Using the right hand thumb rule, we can see that this is only possible if the current in the wire is flowing upwards.
