A block of mass 12.0 kg rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the surfaces is 0.450. What is the maximum possible force that can be applied to the block before it begins to move?

How will the system respond to a temperature increase?

A2.0 μf capacitor and a 4.0 μf capacitor are connected in series across a 0.827-kv potential. the charged capacitors are then disconnected from the source and connected to each other with terminals of like sign together. find the voltage across each capacitor.

Atoaster oven has a resistive heating element. the average rate at which it dissipates energy as thermal energy is 1.00 \(\rm kw\). in the united states, emf amplitude in household circuits is \(\mathcal e_{\max}\) = 170 \({\rm \; v}\) and the \(\rm ac\) oscillation rate is 60 \(\rm hz\). part a what is the root-mean-square current through the heating element?
