A 4.00-kg box sits atop a 10.0-kg box on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two boxes and betwe

en the lower box and the table is 0.600, while the coefficient of static friction between these same surfaces is 0.800. A horizontal pull to the right is exerted on the lower box, as shown in the figure, and the boxes move together. What is the friction force on the UPPER box?

First, we have to calculate the normal forces on different surfaces.The normal force on the 4.00 kg, N1 = (4)(9.8) = 39.2 N. The normal force on the 10.0 kg, N2 = (14)(9.8) = 137.2 N. Looking at the 10.0 kg block, the static forces that counteract the pulling force equals the sum of the friction from the two surfaces. Fc = N1 * 0.80 + N2 * 0.80 = 141.12 N. Since the counter force is less than the pulling force, the blocks start to move and hence, kinetic frictions are considered.


Therefore, f1 = uk * N1 = (0.60)(39.2) = 23.52 N.

A meter stick balances at the 50.0-cm mark. If a mass of 50.0 g is placed at the 90.0-cm mark, the stick balances at the 61.3-cm
Airida [17]

Answer:

126.99115 g

Explanation:

50 g at 90 cm

Stick balances at 61.3 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

mgl_1=Mgl_2\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{ml_1}{l_2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{50\times (61.3-90)}{50-61.3}\\\Rightarrow M=126.99115\ g

The mass of the meter stick is 126.99115 g

Milk containing 3.7% fat and 12.8% total solids is to be evaporated to produce a product containing 7.9% fat. What is the yield
ratelena [41]

Answer:

the yield of product is YP=46.835 % and the concentration of solids is

Cs = 27.33%

Explanation:

Assuming that all the solids and fats remains in the milk after the evaporation, then the mass of product mP will be

Mass of fat in 100 kg of milk = 100 kg* 0.037 = mP* 0.079

mP = 100 kg* 0.037/0.079  =  46.835 kg

then the yield YP of the product is

YP= mP / 100 kg =  46.835 kg / 100 kg = 46.835 %

YP= 46.835 %

the concentration of solids Cs is

Mass of solids in 100 kg of milk = 100 kg* 0.128 = 46.835 kg * Cs

Cs = 100 kg* 0.128 / 46.835 kg  = 0.2733 = 27.33%

Cs = 27.33%

The diagram shows two vectors that point west and north. What is the magnitude of the resultant vector? 13 miles 17 miles 60 mil
Kipish [7]
Using the formula A squared plus B squared equals C squared, we can find the solution by substituting 5 for A and 12 for B.

By squaring 5, we get 25, and by squaring 12, we get 144. Adding these, we get 169. The square root of this is 13.

the distance between the sun and earth is about 1.5X10^11 m. express this distance with an SI prefix and kilometers
Angelina_Jolie [31]
First, we write the SI prefixed. The SI unit for distance is meters.

Kilo = 10³
Mega = 10⁶
Giga = 10⁹
Terra = 10¹²

Because our value has ten to the power of 11, we will use the closest and lowest power prefix, which is giga. 

1.5 x 10¹¹ /  10⁹
= 1.5 x 10² Gm or 150 Gm

Writing in kilometers, we simply repeat the procedure except we divide by 10³ this time.

1.5 x 10¹¹ / 10³
= 1.5 x 10⁸ km
