recoils and must be tethered or he's gone.
By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that
<em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0
where <em>n</em> = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and <em>w</em> = weight of the object. Hence <em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>mg</em> = 196 N, where <em>m</em> = 20 kg and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².
The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of <u>static</u> friction <em>µ</em> is such that
80 N = <em>µ</em> (196 N) → <em>µ</em> = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408
Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of <u>kinetic</u> friction <em>ν</em> is
40 N = <em>ν</em> (196 N) → <em>ν</em> = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204
And so the closest answer is C.
(Note: <em>µ</em> and <em>ν</em> are the Greek letters mu and nu)

Answer:
the speed of the waves is 150 cm/s
Explanation:
Given;
frequency of the wave, f = 10 Hz = 10
distance between 4 nodes, L = 15.0 cm
The wavelength (λ) of the wave is calculated as follows;
Node to Node = λ/2
L = 2(Node to Node) = (4 Nodes) = 2 (λ/2) = λ
Thus, λ = L = 15.0 cm
The speed (v) of the wave is calculated as follows;
v = fλ
v = 10 Hz x 15.0 cm
v = 150 cm/s
Therefore, the speed of the waves is 150 cm/s
Speed of light
According to Einstein, the speed of light is constant in all points of reference. In addition, he pointed out the speed of light is the maximum speed known since in practice one can never catch up with the beam of light. This is explained by his theory of relativity.
