A book is sitting on a desk. What best describes the normal force acting on the book?​

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.

4) A racing car undergoing constant acceleration covers 140 m in 3.6 s. (a) If it’s moving at 53 m/s at the end of this interval
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer

given,

distance = 140 m

time, t = 3.6 s

moving speed = 53 m/s

a) distance = (average velocity) x time

    D = \dfrac{v_0 + v_1}{2}\times t

    140 = \dfrac{v_0 + 53}{2}\times 3.6

       v₀ + 53 = 77.78

        v₀ = 24.78 m/s or 25 m/s

b) a = \dfrac{v-u}{t}

   a = \dfrac{53-25}{3.6}

         a = 7.8 m/s²

using equation of motion

  v₀² = v₁² + 2 a s

  53² = 0²+ 2 x 7.8 x s

  s = 180 m

You are planning to make an open rectangular box from an 8-inch by 15-inch piece of cardboard by cutting congruent squares from
Phoenix [80]

Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:

l = 15 – 2x

w = 8 – 2x

It is 2x since we cut on two sides.

 

We know that volume is:

V = l w x

V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x

V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

 

Taking the 1st derivative:

dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2

 

Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:

120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0

 

Divide by 12:

x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0

(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2

x - 92/24 = ±2.17

x = 1.66, 6

We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w negative, so:

x = 1.66 inches

 

So the largest volume is:

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3

V = 90.74 cubic inches

Calculate the wavelengths of the first five emission lines of the Balmer series for hydrogen
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Balmer series in a hydrogen atom relates the possible electron transitions down to the n = 2 position to the wavelength of the emission that scientists observe. In quantum physics, when electrons transition between different energy levels around the atom (described by the principal quantum number, n) they either release or absorb a photon. The Balmer series describes the transitions from higher energy levels to the second energy level and the wavelengths of the emitted photons. You can calculate this using the Rydberg formula.
