A 75 force is applied to the side of a crate resting on a level floor. The crate has a mass of 25kg. If the coefficient of static friction is .15, is the 75 N force enough to make the crate accelerate? Explain why or why not.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: If the coefficient of static friction is 0.15, then 0.15 of the crate's weight
shows up as a force resisting the horizontal pull.  So we really only
need to know the crate's weight.

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)  =  (25) x (9.8)  =  245 newtons.

0.15 of 245 newtons  =  36.75 newtons.

The force due to friction that's holding the crate back, not letting it start
sliding, is 36.75 newtons.  If you push it with 75 newtons of force, then
that  IS  enough to make the crate accelerate.

What causes light to bend when it moves from one transparent medium to another?a change in amplitude

a change in color

a change in frequency

a change in speed

Answers

Answer:

A change in speed

Explanation:

Light bends when it moves at a particular angle into a medium that has a different refractive index than the one it was coming from.

This bending is as a result of the change in speed of light as it enters the medium with a different refractive index.

This action is known as Refraction of light.

Refraction depends on the change in speed of light as it changes media and the angle of refraction depends on the angle of incidence of the ray of light and the refractive index of the material.

Whenever light goes from transparent to another medium or from rarer to denser medium or vice versa, it's speed changes and hence light bends.

What is the power of 10 when 157,821 is written in scientific notation?

Answers

Answer: The power of 10 in the given value is 5.

Explanation:

Scientific notation is defined as the representation in which a number is expressed in the decimal form. That means always written in the power of 10 form. The decimal place is put after 1 digit.

We are given a numerical value of 157,821

Converting this into scientific notation, we get:

157,821=1.57821* 10^5

Hence, the power of 10 in the given numerical value is 5.

1.57821 * 10^5 
so answer is 5

For a satellite to stay in orbit around Earth, it has to be moving forward very fast all the time. What force will make it fall to Earth if it goes too slowly?Earth's gravity

the force of friction

the magnetic force from Earth's north pole

the Sun's gravity

Answers


Maintaining an orbit has nothing to do with the satellite's speed.
ANY (tangential) speed is enough to stay in orbit, if the satellite
just stays away from Earth's atmosphere.

If the satellite completely stops moving 'sideways' at all, and just
hangs there, then the forces of gravity between the satellite and
the Earth will pull them together ... the satellite will fall into the
atmosphere and then to the ground.

As it stands now, that statement is false.

There are two ways to make the statement true:

#1).  Exchange the places of the words "Opposite" and "like".

#2).  Exchange the places of the words "repel" and "attract".

Either ONE of these changes will make the statement true.
Doing BOTH of these changes will leave it false.

Answer:

False. Opposite electric charges will attract, and like charges will repel.
