A book is sitting on a table at rest. Which of the following best describes the forces acting on the book

2 answers:

5 0

The forces on the book are balanced because the gravity pulling down on the book is equal to the upward force applied by the table.

Gravity is pulling the book towards the center of the earth, and the rebounding effect of the table cancelling out gravity allowing for the book to sit at rest.

An unlit match is held near (not touching) a Bunsen flame. The match doesn't get hot enough to light because

ohaa [14]

The answer is option D)
this is because the heat radiated by the flame is mostly absorbed by the air surrounding it, so the air becomes hot and its density decreases (because of expansion), therefore it goes up and it is replaced by cooler air. since all of the hot air flies up, non goes side ways to heat up the match stick, hence it remains cool and does not light up.

option A) also sounds correct, but it isn't. this is because the flame IS hot enough to burn the match stick, it's just that the match stick is positioned the wrong way

The speed of a box traveling on a horizontal friction surface changes from vi = 13 m/s to vf = 11.5 m/s in a distance of d = 8.5

KiRa [710]

Answer:

0.68 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity of box= $u=13m/s$

Final velocity of box=v=11.5 m/s

Distance=d=8.5 m

We have to find the time taken by box to slow by this amount.

We know that

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Substitute the values

$(11.5)^2-(13)^2=2a(8.5)$

$132.25-169=17a$

$-36.75=17a$

$a=\frac{-36.75}{17}=-2.2m/s^2$

We know that

Acceleration= $a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

Substitute the values

$-2.2=\frac{11.5-13}{t}$

$-2.2=\frac{-1.5}{t}$

$t=\frac{1.5}{2.2}=0.68 s$

Hence, the time taken by box to slow by this amount=0.68 s

A satellite was in two separate crashes. In both crashes, the satellite had the same mass. Engineers want to know about the spee

irina1246 [14]

Answer & Explanation:

Crashing into the asteroid would cause the satellite to slow down, stop, or reverse direction, because it is a force in the opposite direction to the satellite's motion. Whichever crash was a stronger force would cause it to change motion more. It takes a stronger force to change the velocity of a more massive object.

While visiting the beach, you enjoy the warm ocean water, but the sand burns your feet. That night you walk along the beach and

garik1379 [7]

The answer would be B..

Since sand can heat up quickly, it will also cool off quickly. But water takes a long time to heat up and cool down.
