Friction: a 50-kg box is resting on a horizontal floor. A force of 250 n directed at an angle of 30. 0° below the horizontal is

applied to the box. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0. 40, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0. 30. What is the force of friction on the box?.

The net forces on the box parallel and perpendicular to the surface, respectively, are

∑ F[para] = (250 N) cos(-30.0°) - F[friction] = (50 kg) a

and

∑ F[perp] = F[normal] + (250 N) sin(-30.0°) - F[weight] = 0

where a is the acceleration of the box. (We ultimately don't care what this acceleration is, though.)

To decide whether the friction here is static or kinetic, consider that when the box is at rest, the net force perpendicular to the floor is

∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - F[weight] = 0

so that, while at rest,

F[normal] = (50 kg) g = 490 N

Then with µ[s] = 0.40, the maximum magnitude of static friction would be

F[s. friction] = 0.40 (490 N) = 196 N

so that the box will begin to slide if it's pushed by a force larger than this.

The horizontal component of our pushing force is

(250 N) cos(-30.0°) ≈ 217 N

so the box will move in our case, and we will have kinetic friction with µ[k] = 0.30.

Solve the ∑ F[perp] = 0 equation for F[normal] :

F[normal] + (250 N) sin(-30.0°) - F[weight] = 0

F[normal] - 125 N - 490 N = 0

F[normal] = 615 N

Then the kinetic friction felt by the box has magnitude

F[k. friction] = 0.30 (615 N) = 184.5 N ≈ 185 N

Explain the importance of glucose in plants.
vitfil [10]
Glucose, which is a monosaccharide, is a carbohydrate produced through the photosynthesis process in plant leaves that contain the chloroplasts. The glucosethat plants do not use immediately is converted into larger molecules of glucoseand stored as starch for later use as an energy source. This is the main function of glucose in plants .

Select the correct statement(s) regarding Passive Optical Networks (PONs).
natta225 [31]

All the given statement(s) regarding Passive Optical Networks (PONs) are correct.

<h3>What is Passive Optical Networks?</h3>

A passive optical network (PON) is defined as a system commonly used by telecommunications network providers that brings fiber optic cabling and signals all or most of the way to the end user. Depending on where the PON terminates, the system can be described as fiber to the curb, fiber to the building or fiber to the home.

Now, there are different types of passive optical network's (PON's) such as;

APON which is ATM Passive Optical Networks.

BPON which is Broadband PON.

EPON which is Ethernet PON.

GE-PON which means Gigabit Ethernet PON.

GPON which means Gigabit Ethernet PON.

Looking at the options and comparing with the definition of passive optical network's (PON's), we can say that all the statements are correct.

The missing options are;

a. PONS does not require the use of active amplification between the CO to the subscriber

b. PONS operates over SMF optical cables

c. PONS uses passive splitters to distribute signals to subscribers

d. the PONS ONT located at the subscribers location is owned and operated by the service provider

e. all statements are correct
