I'm not sure about the magnitude, but the direction of the normal force is upward.

Magnitude : 25 N

Direction: upward

Explanation:

The weight of the book is 25 N and is directed downward: this is the force exerted by the book on the table.

As stated in Newton's third law, for every object A that exerts a force on an object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.

In this case, object A is the book and object B is the table. Based on Newton's third law, we can say that the table exerts an equal and opposite force on the book: therefore, the magnitude of the normal force is equal to the weight of the book (25 N), while the direction is opposite (so, upward).

A trapeze artist swings in simple harmonic motion with a period of 3.8 s.
pogonyaev
As we know that time period of simple pendulum is given as

T = 2π √L/g

here we know that

T = 3.8 s

now from above equation we know that

T² = 4π² (L/g)

now on rearranging the above equation we will have

L = gT² / 4π²

now plug in all data into it

L = (9.8) (3.8)² / (4) (3.14)²

so the length of the cable must be 3.6 m

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

13 meters

Explanation:

Step one:

given

We are told that Nathalie leaves a history classroom and walks 3 meters North

Then travels another 10 meters south to an art classroom.

Required

The total distance.

Step two:

The total distance can be computed by summing up the 3 meter North distance traveled and the 10 meter south distance traveled

Total distance= 3+10= 13meters

Light bending at a boundary is caused by differences in the speed of light in different materials. The greater the difference in
olasank [31]

Answer:

How much does light bend? When light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to change direction slightly. This change of direction is called refraction. When light enters a more dense substance (higher refractive index), it 'bends' more towards the normal line.
