Answer:

F - M a      force exerted by scales on student

M a = M (9.8 + 4.9) m/s^2      upwards chosen as positive

a = 1.5 g        net acceleration of student  due to force of scales

W =M g       weight of student   (actual weight)

Wapp = M 1.5 * g      apparent weight (on scales) of student

Now explore friction force. Set the piece of plastic or wood on the table and push it steadily across the tabletop using your fi
nydimaria [60]

Answer: If there is a higher friction, the opposition force is higher so that it can reduce our speed. So, a factor that affects friction is the roughness or smoothness of the surface of the object. In comparison of the table with the fabric, the fabric will have a more opposition force. As the surface of the fabric is usually rougher than the surface of a smooth table. As there is more friction on a fabric, we will feel more opposition force on our finger tip.

Hope it helped! :>

A student pulls horizontally on a 12 kg box, which then moves horizontally with an acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2. If the student use
polet [3.4K]
The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction. 
                         Fnet = ma = F - Ff
                           12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
                             Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.

The sound from a single source can reach point O by two different paths. One path is 20.0 m long and the second path is 21.0 m l
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

minimum frequency = 170 Hz

Explanation:

given data

One path long = 20 m

second path long = 21 m

speed of sound = 340 m/s

solution

we get here destructive phase that is path difference of minimum \frac{\lambda}{2}

here  λ is the wavelength of the wave

so path difference will be

21 - 20 = \frac{\lambda}{2}  

λ = 2 m

and

velocity that is express as

velocity = frequency × wavelength    .............1

frequency  = \frac{340}{2}  

minimum frequency = 170 Hz
