Gravitational force is the result of the earth pulling down on the book, so the normal force is best described as the earth or more accurately the table pushing up on the book

Answer:

The downward force the Earth pulls on the book

Explanation:

If the force was pulling any other direction the book would not be resting on the table.

Which of the following is not a way that astronomers can find how much dark matter there is in cluster of galaxies?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

<em>b. Observe the radio waves coming from all dark matter; from the strength of the radio waves from each cluster, estimate the amount of dark matter needed to produce them.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The universe is thought to be made up of 85% dark matters. <em>Dark matter is called dark because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it doesn't absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, and is therefore difficult to detect. This means that option b is wrong since radio wave is an electromagnetic wave</em>. Dark matter is a form of matter that makes up  about a quarter of the total mass–energy density of the universe. Dark matter was theorized due a variety of astrophysical observations and gravitational effects that cannot be explained by accepted theories of gravity unless there were more matter in the universe than can be seen.

Two marbles, one twice as heavy as the other, are dropped to the ground from the roof of a building. Just before hitting the gro
Andreyy89

Answer:

 B. twice as much kinetic energy

Explanation:

Lets take the mass of the first marble =2 m

the mass of the second marble = m

We know that velocity of particle does not depends on their mass that is the velocity of both mass will be same after dropping from the roof.

We know that kinetic energy of a mass is given as

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}Mv^2

Kinetic energy for heavier mass

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2m\times V^2

Kinetic energy for light mass

KE'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times m\times V^2

KE=2 KE '

Form above two equation we can say that ,the kinetic energy for the heavier mass is twice the lighter mass.

Therefore the answer will be B.
