mote1985 [20]3 years ago
7 0

You mean like a box sitting on a table.

One force is the force of gravity, pulling downward on the box.

Now, you know that the forces acting on the box must be balanced, because
if they're not, then the box would be accelerating.  But it's just sitting there, so
there must be some other force, just exactly the right strength and direction to
exactly cancel the force of gravity on the box, so that the net force on it is zero.

The other force is the force of the table pushing upward on the box.  It's called
the "normal force".

You throw a ball upward with an initial speed of 4.3 m/s. When it returns to your hand 0.88 s later, it has the same speed in th
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The acceleration is -9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!!

When you throw a ball upward, there is a downward acceleration that makes the ball return to your hand. This acceleration is produced by gravity.

The average acceleration is calculated as the variation of the speed over time. In this case, we know the time and the initial and final speed. Then:

acceleration = final speed - initial speed/ elapsed time

acceleration = -4.3 m/s - 4.3 m/s / 0.88 s

acceleration = -9.8 m/s²

The North American Plate is moving west at a rate of approximately 20 mm/yr. How long will it take for New York to move 10° long
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

55000000 years

Explanation:

Rate of North American Plate moving (Velocity) = 20 mm/yr

Degrees New York has to move = 10° west

New York's longitude = 110 km/°

Distance of New York = 110×10 = 1100 km

= 1100×10⁶ mm

\text {Time taken by the continental plate}=\frac {\text {Distance of New York}}{\text {Rate of North American Plate moving (Velocity)}}\\\Rightarrow \text {Time taken by the continental plate}=\frac{1100\times 10^6}{20}\\\Rightarrow \text {Time taken by the continental plate}=55\times 10^6\ years

∴ Time taken by New York to move 10° west is 55000000 years
