Answer:

a. the book is exerting force down on the shelf (due to gravity) while the shelf is exerting force back up at the book.

b. when the soccer player kicks the ball, this is applied force. As the ball soars through the air and lands on the ground, the friction ends the movement of the ball.

c. the compass detects the Earth's natural magnetic feild. This force is non contact, since there is no physical touch between magnetic feilds and the compass.

d. when the child is just sitting on the hill on the sled, this is a contact force. The child is pushing down on the sled and the sled pushes back at the child. When he or she slides off down the hill, this contact force is put to a stop due to friction.

A projectile is fored vertically upward with an initial velocity of 190 m/s. Find the maximum height of the projectile.​
RSB [31]

Answer:

3683.67 m

Explanation:

Formula for maximum height of projectile is given by the equation;

h = u²/2g

Where u is initial velocity and g is acceleration due to gravity

We are given u = 190 m/s

Thus;

h = 190²/9.8

h = 36100/9.8

h = 3683.67 m

dam is used to block the passage of a river and to generate electricity. Approximately 58.4 x 103 kg of water falls each second
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

8.049 MW

Explanation:

The expression for gravitational potential energy is given as

Ep = mgh............. Equation 1

Ep = gravitational potential energy, m = mass of water, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 58.4×10³ kg, h = 20.1 m, g = 9.81 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

Ep =  58.4×10³(20.1)(9.81)

Ep = 1.6098×10⁷ J.

If one half the gravitational potential energy of the water were converted to electrical energy

Electrical energy = Ep/2

Electrical energy = (1.6098×10⁷)/2

Electrical energy = 8.049×10⁶ J

In one seconds,

The power generated = 8.049×10⁶ W

Power generated = 8.049 MW

"The burning of fossil fuels produces gases which are capable of trapping heat resulting into the current rise in the global tem
padilas [110]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Solar radiation at frequencies of visible light passes through the atmosphere, heating the planet's surface, subsequently this energy is emitted in infrared thermal radiation. This radiation is absorbed by the gases produced by the combustion of fossil fuels. Therefore, the greater the amount of these gases in the atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped in the earth, raising its global temperature.
