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).

What will the stopping distance be for a 2,000-kg car if -2,000 N of force are applied when the car is traveling 20 m/s?
astraxan [27]

Answer is B- 200 m

Given:

m (mass of the car) = 2000 Kg

F = -2000 N

u(initial velocity)= 20 m/s.

v(final velocity)= 0.

Now we know that

<u>F= ma</u>

Where F is the force exerted on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration of the object

Substituting the given values

-2000 = 2000 × a

a = -1 m/s∧2

Consider the equation

<u>v=u +at</u>

where v is the initial velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

0= 20 -t

t=20 secs


s = ut +1/2(at∧2)

where s is the displacement of the object

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s= 20 ×20 +(-1×20×20)/2

<u>s= 200 m</u>

Which describes the movement of a fluid during convection?
VikaD [51]
The movement of a fluid during convection is a circular/oval motion since the fluid at the top sinks and the fluid at the bottom rises.

Hope this helps :)

Suppose that a steel bridge, 1000 m long, were built without any expansion joints. Suppose that only one end of the bridge was h
Stels [109]

Answer:

The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 1000 m

Winter temperature = 0°C

Summer temperature = 40°C

Coefficient of thermal expansion \alpha= 10.5\times10^{-6}\ K^{-1}

We need to calculate the difference in the length of the bridge

Using formula of the difference in the length

\Delta L=L\alpha\Delta T

Where, \Delta T= temperature difference

\alpha=Coefficient of thermal expansion

L= length

Put the value into the formula

\Delta L=1000\times10.5\times10^{-6}(40^{\circ}-0^{\circ})

\Delta L=0.42\ m

Hence, The difference in the length of the bridge is 0.42 m.
