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

You drive your car in a straight line at 15 m/s for 10 kilometers, then at 25 m/s for another 10 kilometers.

Vikki [24]

Answer:

A) Average speed = 18.75 m/s

B) More time is spent at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

Explanation:

Let the first distance be d1 and the second distance be d2.

We are given;

d1 = 10 km = 10000 m

d2 = 10 km = 10000 m

Speed; v1 = 15 m/s

Speed; v2 = 25 m/s

Now, the formula for distance is; Distance = speed x time

Thus:

d1 = v1 x t1

t1 = d1/v1 = 10000/15 = 666.67 seconds

Also,

d2 = v2 x t2

t2 = d2/v2 = 10000/25 = 400 seconds

Average speed = total distance/total time = (10000 + 10000)/(666.67 + 400) = 18.75 m/s

From earlier, since t1 = 666.67 seconds and t2 = 400 seconds, then;

More time at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

Using hooke's law find the elastic constant of a spring that stretches 2 cm when 4newton force is applied to it

Kay [80]

Answer:

2N/cm

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Hooke's Law, the force required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional distance you can stretch it, which is represented as:

$F=kx$

where, $F$ is the force which is stretching or compressing the spring,

$k$ is the spring constant; and

$x$ is the distance the spring is stretched.

Substituting the given values to find the elastic constant $k$ to get:

$F=kx$

$4=k(2)$

$k=\frac{4}{2}$

$k=2$

Therefore, the elastic constant is 2 Newton/cm.

What happens to the particles of the liquid inside a thermometer when the thermometer is heated?

aev [14]

The particles of the liquid inside a thermometer speed up and spread apart when the thermometer is heated. In short, the particles expand from one another when they're heated, and become condensed and compact when chilled.

Which answer explains why plate B is moving underneath plate A

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Earth is composed of different layers and one layer moves over another due to differences in the densities.

According to the physics of density, a substance having less density floats over a higher density substance. The oceanic crust has more density than the continental crust that is why continental crust float over oceanic crust.

So in the given example, plate B is moving below the plate A, it means plate B is more dense than plate A because plate B is composed of oceanic crust . For example : continents float over the asthenosphere (a layer below the lithosphere).

Hence, the correct answer is "A ".
