Answer:

Opposite to the direction that you are pulling

Explanation:

Static friction acts in the opposite direction to the acceleration.

Kinetic friction acts in the opposite direction to the velocity.

A 4kg book sits on a table and your pet hamster puts his front paws on the book and pushes down with a force of 3N. What is the
Natali [406]
There are three forces acting on the book. 
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.

A ball that is attached to a string travels in a horizontal, circular path, as shown in Figure 1. At time t0 , the ball has a sp
Levart [38]

Answer:

F₁ = 4 F₀

Explanation:

The force applied on the string by the ball attached to it, while in circular motion will be equal to the centripetal force. Therefore, at time t₀, the force on ball F₀ is given as:

F₀ = mv₀²/r   --------------- equation (1)

where,

F₀ = Force on string at t₀

m = mass of ball

v₀ = speed of ball at t₀

r = radius of circular path

Now, at time t₁:

v₁ = 2v₀

F₁ = mv₁²/r

F₁ = m(2v₀)²/r

F₁ = 4 mv₀²/r

using equation (1):

<u>F₁ = 4 F₀</u>

The theory of plate tectonics describes how the Earth’s lithosphere is broken into plates and these plates move over the molten
Mumz [18]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A theory can be changed when new evidence is found. A law doesn't change because it is universally a fact. It doesn't need new evidence to support it.

How much force does an 88kg astronaut exert on his chair while accelerating straight up at 10 m/s^2
Fed [463]

Suppose that you're facing a straight current-carrying conductor, and the current is flowing toward you. The lines of magnetic f
alekssr [168]

Answer:c

Explanation:

When the direction of current is towards the observer then the magnetic field around it will be in the form of concentric circles and its direction will be anti-clockwise when viewed from the observer side.

Whenever current is flowing in a current-carrying conductor then the magnetic field is associated with it and direction of the magnetic field is given by right-hand thumb rule according to which if thumb represents the direction of current then wrapping of fingers will give the direction of the magnetic field
