Jason places his economics book (3 kg) on a level table. He then puts his calculus book (5 kg) on top of the economics book, the

n puts his physics book (2 kg) on top of the calculus book. Find:
(a) the force that the table applies to the economics book
(b) the force that the economics book applies to the calc book
(c) the force that the calc book applies to the physics book

Any help is greatly appreciated

Nothing is accelerating ... it's not even moving. Everything is just sitting there. 
That right there tells you that the forces are balanced wherever two things meet,
otherwise something would be accelerating.

At each level where two things meet, there are 2 forces:

-- The gravitational force ... the weight of everything above that place,
and
-- The upward force, exerted by everything below that place. 

Here is the stack:
_____________
| Physics ... 2kg |      weight = M G = 2 x 9.8 = 19.6 newtons
---------------------
|Calculus ..5 kg |      weight = M G = 5 x 9.8 = 49 newtons
---------------------
|Econ . . . .3 Kg |      weight = M G = 3 x 9.8 = 29.4 newtons
==================
-------- (Table) ----------
/                                  \

a).  Surface where the table meets the Economics book.
Weight of everything above = (29.4 + 49 + 19.6) = 98 newtons
Upward force exerted on the Econ book by the table = 98 newtons.

b). Surface where the Econ book meets the Calculus book.
Weight of everything above = (49 + 19.6) = 68.6 newtons.
Upward force exerted on the Calc book by the Econ book = 68.6 newtons.

c).  Surface where the Calculus book meets the Physics book.
Weight of everything above = 19.6 newtons.
Force exerted on the Physics book by the Calc book = 19.6 newtons.

A rocket ship at rest in space gives a short blast of its engine, firing 50 kg of exhaust gas out the back end with an average v
balu736 [363]

Answer:

20,000 Ns

Explanation:

mass of exhaust gases, m = 50 kg

velocity of exhaust gases, v = 400 m/s

The momentum of a body is defined as the measurement of motion of body. mathematically, it is defined as the product of mass off the body an its velocity.

change in momentum of rocket = final momentum - initial momentum

                                                     =  m x v - 0

                                                     = 50 x 400

                                                     = 20,000 Ns

What is characteristic of the strong nuclear force?
Naya [18.7K]
"It acts over a very small distance" would be the best answer as to a characteristic of the strong nuclear force, since its primary purpose is to bind the smallest particles together.
