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.

What is the force of gravity between two 50.0kg masses that are separated by 0.300m?3.71x10-8N5.59x10-7N2.78x104N1.85x10-6N
Varvara68 [4.7K]

We will have the following:

\begin{gathered} F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\Rightarrow F=\frac{(6.67\ast10^{-11}m^3\ast kg^{-1}\ast s^{-2})(50kg)(50kg)}{(0.3m)^2} \\  \\ \Rightarrow F=1.852777778...\ast10^{-6}N\Rightarrow F\approx1.85\ast10^{-6}N \end{gathered}

So, the force is approximately 1.85*10^-6 N.

What is the force applied to a baseball that has a mass of 142kg and has a acceleration of 30m/s to the power of 2
aev [14]
  • Mass=m=142kg
  • Acceleration=a=30m/s
  • Force=F

Using Newton's second law

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow F=ma

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow F=142(30)

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow F=4260N

Baseball player A bunts the ball by hitting it in such a way that it acquires an initial velocity of 1.3 m/s parallel to the gro
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

cSep 20, 2010

well, since player b is obviously inadequate at athletics, it shows that player b is a woman, and because of this, she would not be able to hit the ball. The magnitude of the initial velocity would therefore be zero.

First you need to solve for time by using

d=(1/2)(a)(t^2)+(vi)t

1m=(1/2)(9.8)t^2 vertical initial velocity is 0m/s

t=.45 sec

Then you find the horizontal distance traveled by using

v=d/t

1.3m/s=d/.54sec

d=.585m

Then you need to find the time of player B by using

d=(1/2)(a)(t^2)+(vi)t

1.8m=(1/2)(9.8)(t^2) vertical initial velocity is 0

t=.61 sec

Finally to find player Bs initial horizontal velocity you use the horizontal equation

v=d/t

v=.585m/.61 sec

so v=.959m/s
