A stationary 15 kg object is located in a table near the surface of the earth. The coefficient of static friction between the su

rfaces is 0.40 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.25.
A horizontal force of 40 N is applied to the object.
Determine the acceleration of the object.

The net force acting on the object perpendicular to the table is

∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - mg = 0

where mg is the weight of the object. Then

F[normal] = mg = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 147 N

The maximum magnitude of static friction is then

0.40 F[normal] = 58.8 N

which means the applied 40 N force is not enough to make the object start to move. So the object has zero acceleration and does not move.

Split the operation in two parts. Part A) constant acceleration 58.8m/s^2, Part B) free fall.

Part A)
Height reached, y = a*[t^2] / 2 = 58.8 m/s^2 * [7.00 s]^2 / 2 = 1440.6 m

Now you need the final speed to use it as initial speed of the next part.

Vf = Vo + at = 0 + 58.8m/s^2 * 7.00 s = 411.6 m/s

Part B) Free fall

Maximum height, y max ==> Vf = 0

Vf = Vo - gt ==> t = [Vo - Vf]/g = 411.6 m/s / 9.8 m/s^2 = 42 s

ymax = yo + Vo*t - g[t^2] / 2

ymax = 1440.6 m + 411.6m/s * 42 s - 9.8m/s^2 * [42s]^2 /2
ymax = 1440.6 m + 17287.2m - 8643.6m = 10084.2 m

Answer: ymax = 10084.2m

Your bedroom gets direct sunlight through a window during the hottest part of the day. You ask your mom to turn down the thermom
ycow [4]
I want to say its cooled by reflection because of the foil, sun reflects off of the foil back into the atmosphere. I don't think it's conduction because I have the foil on my windows and it's never warm to the touch. it's not a liquid so I don't believe it's convection. The foil reflects the radiation so I don't think it's b, c or d. so I wanna say A but I'm not 100% sure
