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.

How significant is air resistance for projectile motion?
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Air resistance have some significant role in projectile motion if the motion lasts for some time.

Explanation:

  • Air resistance or air drag seems to be important in daily actvities and games like baseball.
  • The trajectory of the projectile with or without air resistance or air drag is totally different.
  • When we neglect air drag, the only acting force is gravity against the motion so the maximum height and range are suppose Hmax and R.
  • Now, when we consider air drag, it is important to notice that there are two forces against the motion of the ball and along the direction of gravity. It seems that both maximum height and range are lesser Hmax'< Hmax and R'<R.

Signal far enough ahead so other drivers in your vicinity can make adjustments to your change in speed and ___________.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

DIRECTION

Explanation:

the answer of the blank will be DIRECTION

As the signal is far ahead so driver can make the decision of what he have to do either he can change direction or he can be on his same path.

But for that  driver has to change his or her speed.

so, from the statement given the blank will be filled with DIRECTION

) What is the electric potential due to the nucleus of hydrogen at a distance of 7.50× 10-11 m? Assume the potential is equal to
ohaa [14]
For this, we need the formula:
V = k q / r
where k is the Coulombs law constant = 9 x 10^9 N
q is the charge of the hydrogen nucleus (proton) = <span>1.6 x 10^-19 C</span> 
r is the distance
Simply plug in the values and solve for V

Resistance increases with the length of the wire
Marta_Voda [28]
If the length of the wire increases, then the amount of resistance will also increase.

1. Take a long piece of wire and cut it 10 pieces. Those pieces should all be different sizes, one should be 5___ (units in meter, cm, inches, etc.), and the next should be 5 ___ (units in meter, cm, inches, etc.) more than the one before.
2. Take one piece of wire and measure the resistance using ___ and record the results in the data table.
3. Repeat the previous step with all the pieces of wire.
4. Compare and contrast the results you have found.

I hope this helps a bit :)
