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

normal force?
Physics

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 1.5 kg orange falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.75s. What is the speed of the orange just before it hits the ground?
Olenka [21]

The final speed of the orange is 7.35 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the orange is a free fall motion, since there is only the force of gravity acting on it. Therefore, it is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. So we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the  final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time elapsed

For the orange in this problem, we have

u = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting t = 0.75 s, we find the final velocity (and speed) of the orange:

v=0+(9.8)(0.75)=7.35 m/s

If you walk at an average speed of 5 km/h for 30 minutes, how
Inessa05 [86]

The distance that would be accumulated during the journey is 2.5 meters

The parameters given in the question are  written below;

average speed= 5 km/hr

time = 30 minutes

convert 30 minutes to hours

= 30/60

= 0.5 hours

Distance-= speed × time

= 5 × 0.5

= 2.5 meters

Hence the distance of the entire journey is 2.5 meters

Which observation would be evidence that heat was transferred by radiation
Masteriza [31]
Radiation is a type of heat transfer wherein there is no need for medium or media through which the heat will flow. Consequently, the radiation waves are able to travel through vacuum. The best observation as evidence to conclude that heat is indeed transferred by radiation is the increase of temperature of the receiving body.
