Answer:

Ffriction = 90 N

coefficient = 0.3

Explanation:

First, note that the sum of all the forces in the x directions equals the mass multiplied by the acceleration in the x direction.

assuming the direction of the pulling force is positive,

243 N - Ffriction = m * a

m= 30.6 kg

a= 5 m/s/s

Ffriction= 243 - m*a

Ffriction= 243 - (30.6)(5)

Ffriction=90 N

The force of friction is equal to the coefficient of friction multiplied by the normal force on the object. Because the pulling force is completely horizontal, the normal force of the object is equal to its weight, which is m * g, or (30.6 kg)(9.8 m/s/s) = 299.88 N

Ffriction = coefficient * Fnormal

90 = coefficient * 299.88

coefficient = 0.3

If you drop an object from rest, the distance it falls is given by (1/2)at2, where a is the acceleration of the object and t is
klio [65]

If,

d \:  =  \:   \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

then, with 3x time t, (suppose, new distance is h)

h \:  =  \:   \frac{1}{2} a {(3t)}^{2}

=  \frac{1}{2} a9 {t}^{2}

= 9 \:  \frac{1}{2} a{t}^{2}

= 9d

Therefore, new distance h will be 9 times bigger than distance d.

Consider a spherical volume of space that is large enough to be considered homogeneous. Also consider a particle on the surface
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Option A applies.

A.  Greater than its escape speed from the mass within the volume

Explanation:

Here it is mentioned that the spherical volume is large enough for the space to be considered as homogeneous. Also, the pressure within the volume is negligible, so that will not result into the re collapse of the Universe. Now as per our knowing, Hubble's Law relates the average speed of the particle to the distance R between the Earth and the particle. So, if the particle's speed is greater than it's escape speed from the mass within the volume, then the Universe is bound to re collapse back again. Option A applies.

FM radio ________________. a. had a somewhat shorter range than AM radio, but better sound quality. b. was widely adopted in the
svetlana [45]

Answer:

(A) FM Radio had a somewhat shorter ranger than AM radio, but better sound quality.

Explanation:

FM Radio was invented in 1933 by Edwin Armstrong who was an American engineer. FM stands for frequency modulation and AM stands for Amplitude Modulation.

FM is used for most broadcasts of music and FM radio stations use a very high-frequency range of radio frequencies.

In FM Radio, the sound is transmitted through changes in frequency. Both FM and AM radio signals experience frequent change in amplitude, they are far less noticeable on FM.

When switching between stations, FM antenna is alternating between different frequencies, and not amplitudes and this produces a much clearer sound and allows for smoother transitions with little to no audible static.

FM signals can be interfered by barriers and this could affect the signal strength. FM Radio signals are more clearer in a mountainous area that has no barrier.

AM radio was able to carry signals farther than AM radio.

Why are there so few working wave power stations?
Bond [772]
Well mostly because it's for oceans and lakes that have waves. so if you don't live near any of these, you wouldn't be getting power. <span />

A box of mass 14 kg sits on an inclined surface with an angle of 52degrees. What is the component of the weight of the box along
kolezko [41]
First, we calculate for the weight of the object by multiplying the given mass by the acceleration due to gravity which is equal to 9.8 m/s²
                       Weight = (14 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
                          Weight = 137.2 N
The component of the weight that is along the surface of the inclined plane is equal to this weight times the sine of the given angle. 
                         Weight = (137.2 N)(sin 52°)
                               weight = 108.1 N
