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.

When a wire is made thicker its resistance what?
NeTakaya
Making a wire thicker has the same effect as making a road wider. It makes it easier for the electron traffic to flow. The resistance decreases, and the current (traffic) increases.

Determine whether or not each of the following statement is true. If a statement is true, prove it. If the statement is false, p
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is a representation of Gauss law.

Gauss’s law does hold for moving charges, and in this respect Gauss’s law is more general than Coulomb’s law. In words, Gauss’s law states that: The net outward normal electric flux through any closed surface is proportional to the total electric charge enclosed within that closed surface. The law can be expressed mathematically using vector calculus in integral form and differential form, both are equivalent since they are related by the divergence theorem, also called Gauss’s theorem.

Winds blowing toward the east are called easterlies.<br><br><br> True or False
eimsori [14]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Winds are named for the cardinal direction they blow from.  Hence, a wind that <em>"blows towards the east"</em>, logically should <u>come from the west </u>and is called a <em>"west wind"</em>.

In thise sense, one of the best examples of this type of wind are the <em>Westerlies</em>, which are are prevailing winds that blow from the west at midlatitudes and have the characteristic that are stronger during winter and weaker during summer.

Therefore, the statement is false.
