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.

A 1000-kg car is slowly picking up speed as it goes around a horizontal curve whose radius is 100 m. The coefficient of static f
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

18.5 m/s

Explanation:

On a horizontal curve, the frictional force provides the centripetal force that keeps the car in circular motion:

\mu mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

\mu is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road

m is the mass of the car

g is the gravitational acceleration

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the curve

Re-arranging the equation,

v=\sqrt{\mu gr}

And by substituting the data of the problem, we find the speed at which the car begins to skid:

v=\sqrt{(0.350)(9.8 m/s^2)(100 m)}=18.5 m/s

How could you increase the force advantage of a lever?Select one:a. Make the effort length longer.b. Make the effort length shor
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The ideal mechanical advantage of a lever (IMA) is given by:

IMA=\frac{Le}{Lr}

Where:

Le = Effort of the arm

Lr = Resistance arm.

Therefore, we can increase the force adventage by increasing the effort arm or reducing the load arm

Answer:

a. Make the effort length longer.

The pressure and volume of a fixed mass of gas _ are related. if one decreases, the other ___ ___ this relationship is known as
mihalych1998 [28]
1) Inversely
2) increases
3) Boyle's
4) mass
5) Kelvin
6) Charles's
7) Gay-Lussac's
8) directly
9) combined
10) the amount

<span>The pressure and volume of a fixed mass of gas are inversely related. If one decreases, the other increases. This relationship is known as Boyle's law. The volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to its kelvin temperature. This relationship is known as Charles's law. Gay-Lussac's law states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature if the volume remains constant. These three separate gas laws can be written as a single expression called the combined gas law. It can be used in situations in which only the amount of gas is constant. </span>

ow long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly ten swings per second? (That is, one complete vibration takes exactly
Igoryamba
The period T of a pendulum is given by:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the length of the pendulum while g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration.

In the pendulum of the problem, one complete vibration takes exactly 0.200 s, this means its period is T=0.200 s. Using this data, we can solve the previous formula to find L:
L=g ( \frac{T}{2\pi} )^2=(9.81 m/s^2)( \frac{0.2 s}{2 \pi} )^2=1 \cdot 10^{-3} m=1 mm
