A40 kg slab rests on a frictionless floor. a 10 kg block rests on top of the slab (fig. 6-58). the coefficient of static friction µstat beltween the block and the slab is 0.70, whereas their kinetic friction coefficient µkin is 0.40. the 10 kg block is pulled by a horizontal force with a magnitude of 100 n.

Explanation:

Normal reaction from 40 kg slab on 10 kg block

M × g  = 10 × 9.8 = 98 N  

Static frictional force = 98 × 0.7 N

Static frictional force = 68.6 N is less than 100 N applied  

10 kg block will slide on 40 kg slab and net force on it  

= 100 N - kinetic friction  

= 100 - 39.2

= 60.8 N

Frictional force on 40 kg slab by 10 kg block = 98 × 0.4  

Frictional force on 40 kg slab by 10 kg block = 39.2 N  

40 kg slab will move with =

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
