4 0

Explanation:

in my opinion I'd say it's gravity because it's making the book stay in it's one and only position pulling the book at the center of the desk

8. When a 100 N bag of nails hangs motionless from a single vertical strand of rope, how many newtons of tension are exerted in
Svetllana [295]

If the bag is motionless, then it's not accelerating up or down.
That fact right there tells you that the net vertical force on it
is zero.  So the sum of any upward forces on it is exactly equal
to the downward gravitational force ... the bag's "weight".

If the bag is suspended from a single rope, then the tension
in the rope must be equal to the 100-N weight of the bag.

And if there are four ropes holding it up, then the sum of
the four tensions is 100N.  If the ropes have been carefully
adjusted to share the load equally, then the tension is 25N
in each rope.

What are some ways in which body fat can be measured
MissTica
I only know about the Water tank which is the most accurate. You place your body in it, and weights are added I think. Somehow some measurements are gathered to get your body fat weight. Online calculators exist, as well as electronic waves that are sent int your body, the echo is recorded and analyzed.

Given a block of glass that is semi-circular, a laser pointer, protractor/ruler, and index card, design your own experiment to o
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Explanation:

To design the experiment of measuring the critical angle, we describe the phenomenon, when the light passes from a medium with a higher refractive index to one with a lower index, it separates from the normal one and the Critical Angle is defined as the Angle for which the refraction occurs at 90º

            n₂ sin θ₂ = n₁ sin 90

           n₁ / n₂ = sin θ₂

As we can see, we have to measure the angle with which the laser touches the exit surface of the glass block.

Design of the experiment:

    We place the glass block on the ramp and at the top we hit the conveyor for half the angle, we climb the block on the ramp and see that the angle of incidence of lightning on the exit face changes, part of the beam comes out of the glass , we see it by dispersion in the particles of dirty in the air; Maybe the conveyor or the laser should be moved slightly so that the beam touches the point of origin on the conveyor.

   

   When we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Milk has a density of 1.035 g/ml and olive oil has a density of 0.850 g/ml. Which has more mass
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Milk.

Explanation:

Density is used to describe how much space an object or substance takes up in relation to the amount of matter in that object or substance (its mass).

Another way to put it is that, density of a substance is the amount of mass of that substance per unit volume. If an object is heavy and compact, it has a high density.

Density = mass/volume

So,

Milk = 1.035 g of milk per 1 ml

Olive oil = 0.85 g of olive oil in 1 ml.

Therefore, milk has a higher mass.
