This question involves the concepts of frictional force and coefficient of static friction.

The ranking of the frictional force acting on the crates will be "f_df_e=f_ff_a=f_bf_c" .

The frictional force can be calculated by the following simple formula:

$f = \mu R$

where,

f = frictional force = ?

$\mu$ = coefficient of static friction (since boxes are not moving)

R = Normal Reaction = Weight of Box = mg

Now, we use this formula to calculate the frictional force acting on each box.

BOX A:

$f_a=\mu mg = (500\ kg)(0.6)g = 300\ g$

BOX B:

$f_b=\mu mg = (750\ kg)(0.4)g = 300\ g$

BOX C:

$f_c=\mu mg = (250\ kg)(0.2)g = 50\ g$

BOX D:

$f_d=\mu mg = (600\ kg)(0.8)g = 480\ g$

BOX E:

$f_e=\mu mg = (750\ kg)(0.6)g = 450\ g$

BOX F:

$f_f=\mu mg = (1500\ kg)(0.3)g = 450\ g$

Therefore, the ranking will be:

"f_df_e=f_ff_a=f_bf_c"

Answer from: kellynadine02

F_a = F_b = F_c = F_d = F_e = F_f

all will have same frictional force on them

Explanation:

As we know that the crate is placed at rest on the rough floor

so here the forces must be balanced

So here the applied force must be equal to the friction force on the crate

So we will say that the friction force on the crate is static friction and it must be equal to the applied force on the crate

So all the crates have same external force which means that all the crates will have same frictional force on them

so we have

F_a = F_b = F_c = F_d = F_e = F_f

all will have same frictional force on them

Answer from: Quest

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. so it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thickand heavy old-fashioned coats. (a) consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 w/m·°c) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 w/m·°c) between the layers. assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°c and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°c and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 w/m2·°c. (b) what would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? what should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 w/m·°c) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket?
