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.

An artillery shell is launched on a flat, horizontal field at an angle of α = 40.8° with respect to the horizontal and with an i
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

1317.4 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Angle=\alpha=40.8^{\circ}

Initial speed =v_0=346m/s

We have to find the horizontal distance covered  by the shell after 5.03 s.

Horizontal component of initial speed=v_{ox}=v_0cos\theta=346cos40.8=261.9m/s

Vertical component of initial speed=v_{oy}=346sin40.8=226.1m/s

Time=t=5.03 s

Horizontal distance =Horizontal\;velocity\times time

Using the  formula

Horizontal distance=261.9\times 5.03

Horizontal distance=1317.4 m

Hence, the horizontal distance covered by the shell=1317.4 m

Why is it important that two different metals are used in building an electrochemic<br> cell?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

They need a galvanic difference. Or saying that less technically,  they need to have different electron attraction, so that one can collect electrons (oxidation/reduction)  and flow current from the other.  :)

Goat gallops at -1.5m/s, how far will the goat travel in 20 seconds?<br><br> Please show work
saw5 [17]

Answer:

30m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of the goat  = 1.5m/s

Time  = 20s

Unknown:

Distance traveled  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use;

      Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}  

 Distance = Speed x time

 So;

 Distance  = 1.5m/s x 20s  = 30m

Why do we measure volume
Misha Larkins [42]

Explanation:

Volume is often quantified numerically using the SI derived unit, the cubic metre. The volume of a container is generally understood to be the capacity of the container; i. e., the amount of fluid (gas or liquid) that the container could hold, rather than the amount of space the container itself displaces.

We don't use units like triangular prism feet or spherical kilometers because the three axes don't make a "corner" of any other shape other than a cube.

Glad I was able to help!!
