Imagine a box sitting on a shelf. What forces are acting on the box?

In case of an object sitting at rest on another base, there are two equal and opposite forces – Normal force and the gravity.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

When an object is placed at rest position on another object, there is a force exerted by the surfaces of the two contact objects. This force is denoted as Normal Force.

When an object such as a box is placed on a shelf, its surface exerts a contact force on the base of the shelf- The Normal force directed upward. Meanwhile, the gravity stays at its action and tries to pull the box towards itself.  

Both of these forces however are equal and opposite and therefore, there is zero net force on the box. That's why it remains at rest, holding on Newton's third law.

A distant galaxy is determined to be 150 million light years distant and moving away from us; using the Hubble law determine its
dlinn [17]

Your question kind of petered out there towards the end and you didn't specify
the terms, so I'll pick my own.

The "Hubble Constant" hasn't yet been pinned down precisely, so let's pick a
round number that's in the neighborhood of the last 20 years of measurements:

             <em>70 km per second per megaparsec</em>.

We'll also need to know that 1 parsec = about 3.262 light years.

So the speed of your receding galaxy is

         (Distance in LY) x (1 megaparsec / 3,262,000 LY) x (70 km/sec-mpsc) =

              (150 million) x  (1 / 3,262,000) x (70 km/sec) =

                                 <em>3,219 km/sec  </em>in the direction away from us (rounded)

When the distance between two interacting objects doubles, the gravitational force is
Umnica [9.8K]

The gravitational force will be one quarter.

The gravitational force between two objects is given by the formula

F=GMm/r^2

here, r is the distance between the objects.

Thus the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects, Therefore if the distance between two objects is doubled the force will be one quarter.

Una caja de 5.0kg de masa se acelera desde el reposo a través del piso mediante una fuerza a una tasa de 2.0 /s2 durante 7.0s en
Nady [450]

Responder:

<h2>490 julios </h2>

Explicación:

Se dice que el trabajo se realiza cuando una fuerza aplicada a un objeto hace que el objeto se mueva a través de una distancia. El trabajo realizado por un cuerpo se expresa mediante la fórmula;

Workdone = Fuerza * Distancia

Como Fuerza = masa * aceleración,

Workdone = masa * aceleración * distancia

Masa dada = 5.0kg, aceleración = 2.0m / s² d =?

Para obtener d, usaremos una de las leyes del movimiento,

d = ut + 1 / 2at²

u = 0 (ya que el cuerpo acelera desde el reposo) yt = 7.0s

d = 0 + 1/2 (2) (7) ²

d = 49m

Workdone = 5 * 2 * 49

Workdone = 490 Julios

Given the following specific heat capacities, which material was have the largest change in temperature if 10 grams of each subs
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comment

You could calculate it out by assuming the same starting temperature for each substance. (You have to assume that the substances do start at the same temperature anyway).

That's like shooting 12 with 2 dice. It can be done, but aiming for a more common number is a better idea.

Same with this question.

You should just develop a rule.  The rule will look like this

The greater the heat capacity the (higher or lower) the change in temperature.

The greater the heat capacity the lower the change in temperature

That's not your question. You want to know which substance will have the greatest temperature change given their heat capacities.

Answer

lead. It has the smallest heat capacity and therefore it's temperature change will be the greatest.

A: hydrogen and hydrogen b: copper and copper c: copper and oxygen Rank the above bonds in terms of increasing bond strength. Ch
pashok25 [27]

Answer: Copper and oxygen

Explanation:

Copper and oxygen shares the ionic bond. As we know that ionic bond is the most strongest bond. Here is the order:

Hydrogen bond< Metallic bond< Ionic bond.

That means order in terms of increasing bond strength is :

Hydrogen and hydrogen< Copper and copper< Copper and oxygen.
