A 500 kg table with 4 legs rests on solid flat ground. I place 3 books on the center of the table with masses of 10 kg, 20 kg an

d 30 kg respectively. What is the normal force between the ground and one leg of the table?

BARSIC [14]2 years ago

Answer:

1,373.4 N

Explanation:

The mass of the table acts at the centre in addition to the books since that is the centre of gravity of the table.

Mass of books will be 10kg+20kg+30kg=60 kg

Total mass of table and books will be 500kg+60kg=560 kg

This mass is evenly distributed into the four legs hence 560kg/4 legs=140 kg per leg

Force is product of mass and acceleration due to gravity hence F=gm

Taking g as 9.81 m/s2 then

F=140*9.81=1,373.4 N

Therefore, rhe normal force is equivalent to 1,373.4 N

1. A diver dives off of a raft - what happens to the diver? The raft? How does this relate to Newton's Third Law?  Action Force:
Natali [406]
The Action Force of this scenario is the pushing force of the Diver. The Reaction Force is the raft pushing back on the diver. 

The Third Law of Motion states that "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Now when the diver dives off the raft, the raft is also pushing the same amount of force as the diver did as he dives off. The diver will then move forward and the raft on the other hand will move backwards.

The movement of the raft shows the opposite force. It will move backwards depending on how strong the diver will push off on the raft. And the amount of force he pushes on it, the raft will exert the same force so the stronger the force of the diver, the farther he will go because the raft will push him in that same direction as it goes backwards.

Which statement explains the polarity of a water molecule?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

D. The oxygen side is partially negative because electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Explanation:

The water molecule is polar by the virtue of covalent bonds and the hydrogen bonds within and between its molecule.

The oxygen side is partially negative because the electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Between oxygen and hydrogen that makes up the water molecule, oxygen is more electronegative.

An electronegative atom has more affinity for electrons. Since the electrons in the molecule of water is shared between hydrogen and oxygen, the more electronegative specie which is water draws the electron more to itself.

This leaves a net negative charge on the oxygen atom.

A 5.0 kg box slides down a 4.0 m long ramp that makes a 25 angle with the ground. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.65
Sedaia [141]

The thermal energy was produced is 116J

<h3>What is the thermal energy produced?</h3>

Now we know that the frictional force produces the energy that is lost as heat as the body slides down the incline. The magnitude of the frictional force is obtained from;

Ff= μmgcosθ

Ff =  0.65 *  5.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos 25

Ff = 29 N

Hence, the thermal energy is;

29 N * 4.0 m = 116J

Explain how a common housecat gets “worms.”eplain(science)
OLga [1]

Answer:

Cats most commonly contract worms after coming into contact with parasite eggs or infected feces. A cat may walk through an area with eggs or infected feces, and since cats are often such fastidious groomers, they will then ingest the eggs or fecal particles as they clean their fur and feet.
