A force of gravity pulls downward on a book on a table. What force prevents the book from accelerating downward?

Physics

Answer: The Normal Force

Explanation:

According to Third Newton's Law,  also konwn as The principle of action and reaction :

<em>"If a body A exerts an action on another body B, it performs on A another action that is the same and in the opposite direction."</em>

In this case this is what happens with the book on a table,  gravity force pulls it downward, but the Normal Force (perpendicular to the surface of the table) acts in the opposite direction with the same magnitude, preventing the book from accelerating downward.

Answer: The support / normal force

Explanation: The force that prevents downward acceleration is the support force.

The force that acts on the book at rest balancing up the gravitational force is the normal force.

J. Ram travels 50 m on a straight road in 30 s. Hari covers the same distance
ira [324]

Explanation:

Explanation:

In the given question, there are two conditions.

Ram traveled 50 m in 30 seconds in a straight road.

Hari covers the same distance in the road; that means 50 m in 45 seconds

The formula for work w=\frac{d}{t}w=td

Ram's work w=\frac{50}{30}=1.66666w=3050=1.66666

Hari's work w=\frac{50}{45}=1.111w=4550=1.111

Ram is slower than Hari and the velocity of Ram is slower than Hari.

Ram has done less work than Hari.

Hence, Hari has done more work and he has more power than Ram.

An undersea research chamber is spherical with an external diameter of 4.70 m . The mass of the chamber, when occupied, is 54300
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: a) 557.3kN b) 543kN

Explanation:

Buoyant force = weight of water displaced.

Formula for buoyant force = mg×(density of fluid/density of object)

Density of fluid = density of sea water = 1025kg/m³

Mass of the chamber(m) = 54300kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Density of chamber = mass/volume

Where volume of sphere = 4/3Πr³

radius = 4.70/2 = 2.35m

Volume = 4/3×Π(2.35)³

Volume = 54.37m³

Density of chamber = 54300/54.37

= 998.7kg/m³

Substituting the values into the formula for buoyant force

Buoyant force= 54300×10×{1025/998.7}

= 557299N

= 557.3kN

b) Tension in the cable = mass of cable × acceleration due to gravity

= 54300×10 = 543000N or 543kN.
