A 4.0 kg block is resting on a rough horizontal table. The coefficient of static friction us is 0.60. The static friction betwee
professor190 [17]

Answer: 24 N

Explanation:

Given that the

Mass m = 4 kg

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.60

To calculate the static friction between the block and the table before any attempted motion, you will use the formula; F = (μ)N

Where

F = static friction

N = normal reaction = mg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/^2

Substitutes m, g and (μ) into the formula

F = 0.6 × 4 × 9.8

F = 23.52 N

Therefore, the static friction between the block and the table before any attempted motion is 24 N approximately.

A particle is moving along the x-axis. Its position as a function of time is given as x=bt-ct^2a) What must be the units of the
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

We are given x= bt +ct²

So

A. bxt= m

Because m/s*s= m

So b= m/s and c= m/s²

B.

x= bt-ct²

So at x=0 t=0

x=0 t= 2

We have

bt = ct² so t = b/c at x= 0

So b-2ct= 0

B. To find velocity we use

dx / dt = b - 2 Ct

C. At rest wen V= 0

We have t= b/2c

D. To find acceleration we use

dv / dt = - 2C

cicadas produce a sound that has a frequency of 123 Hz. what is the wavelength of this sound in the air? the speed of sound in a
mojhsa [17]

Answer: 2.72 metres

Explanation:

Given that:

frequency of sound F = 123 Hz. wavelength of sound in the air = ?

speed of sound in air V = 334 m/s

Recall that wavelength is the distance covered by the wave after one complete cycle. It is measured in metres, and represented by the symbol λ.

So, apply V = F λ

λ = V /F

λ = 334m/s / 123Hz

λ = 2.72m

Thus, the wavelength of this sound in the air is 2.72 metres

There is an electromagnetic wave traveling in the -z direction in a standard right-handed coordinate system. What is the directi
wlad13 [49]

Answer: The direction of the electric field, E→, is pointed in the +y direction.

Explanation:

One can use the right hand rule to illustrate the direction of travel of an electromagnetic and thereby get the directions of the electric field, magnetic field and direction of travel of the wave.

The right hand rule states that the direction of the thumb indicate the direction of travel of the electromagnetic wave (<em>in this case the -z direction</em>) and the curling of the fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field  B→ (<em>in this case the +x direction</em>), therefore, the electric field direction E→ is in the direction of the fingers which would be pointed towards the +y direction.
