A 37 N block rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surface and the block ar

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of block = 37 N

Coefficients of static = 0.8

Kinetic friction = 0.4

Tension = 24 N

We need to calculate the maximum friction force

Using formula of friction force

$f=\mu mg$

Put the value into the formula

$f=0.8\times37$

$f=29.6\ N$

So, the tension must exceeds 29.6 N for the block to move

We need to calculate the frictional force acting on the block

Using formula of frictional force

$f = \mu N$

Put the value in to the formula

$f=0.4\times37$

$f=14.8\ N$

Hence, The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

A particle with charge 3.20×10−19 c is placed on the x axis in a region where the electric potential due to other charges increa

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

-5 V

Explanation:

The charged particle (which is positively charged) moves from point A to B, and its kinetic energy increases: it means that the particle is following the direction of the field, so its potential energy is decreasing (because it's been converted into potential energy), therefore it is moving from a point at higher potential (A) to a point at lower potential (B). This means that the value

vb−va

is negative.

We can calculate the potential difference between the two points by using the law of conservation of energy:

$\Delta K+ \Delta U=0\\\Delta K + q\Delta V=0$

where:

$\Delta K=+1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J$ is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

$q=3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C$ is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V =V_b-V_a$ is the potential difference

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the value of the potential difference:

$\Delta V=V_b-V_a = -\frac{\Delta K}{q}=-\frac{1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J}{3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C}=-5 V$

A fan cart with the fan set to high rolled across the floor. The cart's speeds with the fan on high are shown below. If the fan

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Speed of cart's might be less than the high speed after 5 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

A fan cart with the fan set to high rolled across the floor.

Let the speed of fan cart with set to high is $x\ cm$ per second.

The fan supplies a force to the cart. If a lower fan speed were used, less force would be applied. This would cause a slower change in the cart's speed. So, the cart would be rolling more slowly than $x\ cm$ per second after 5 seconds. The speed of cart's might be less than $x\ cm$ per second.

Force is needed

A. for a moving object to keep moving at the same speed and direction

B. for a moving object to change its speed

C. for a motionless object to remain still

D. to prevent a moving object from turning

Hence,

Speed of cart's might be less than the high speed after 5 seconds.

In places of hot climate it is advised that the outer walls of houses be painted white. Explain.

goblinko [34]

Darker colors absorb heat, While lighter colors don't. If a house is painted black in Arizona, The black color will absorb the heat making the temperature inside the house very hot even with the AC on. If a house in Arizona is painted White, The heat will bounce off the White color, making the temperature inside the house cooler.

Hope this helps!
