An object is at rest on the ground. The object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth. Which of the following pre

dictions is correct about why the object does not accelerate downward? Select two answers. Justify your selections.A) The bonded molecules of the object are repelled upward by the bonded molecules of the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the object.B)The normal force is exerted upward on the object from the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the objectC) The bonded molecules of the object are attracted downward by the bonded molecules of the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the object.D) The force of friction is exerted upward on the object from the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the object.

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

If the object is at rest, it means that no net force is exerted on it.

As the object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth, in order to be at rest, it must experience an upward force with the same magnitude as the gravitational force on the object.

This force is supplied by the normal force, which can adopt any value in order to meet the condition imposed by Newton´s 2nd Law, and is always perpendicular to the surface on which the object is placed (in this case, the ground).

At a molecular level, this normal force is supplied by the bonded molecules of the ground that behave like small springs being compressed by the molecules of the object, exerting an upward restoring force upward on them.

So, the statements A) and B) are true.

Answer:

The bonded molecules of the object are repelled upward by the bonded molecules of the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the object.

The normal force is exerted upward on the object from the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the object.

Chicxulub. It's the most famous cataclysm ever, the meteorite that probably snuffed out the dinosaurs (along with three-quarters of all life on Earth) when it smashed into our planet 65 million years ago. The crater it left behind is actually one of the youngest and most accessible in the solar system.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

- 1100 J heat flows out

Explanation:

dW = - 1600 J (as work is done on the gas)

dU = 500 J

dQ = ?

According to the first law of thermodynamics

dQ = dU + dW

dQ = 500 - 1600

dQ = - 1100 J

As heat is negative so it flows out.

Why is the air drag on a baseball different than it would be for a smooth ball with no stitches? How does this apply to the desi
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The stitches and dimples around a baseball  and a golf ball respectively, disturbs the air drag on the balls once they are in motion, allowing the them to travel more easily.

Explanation:

The stitches on a baseball disturbs the air drag on the ball when the ball is in motion, allowing the ball to travel more easily. Depending on the orientation of the ball in flight, the drag changes as the flow is disturbed by the stitches.  

A smooth ball with no stitches or dimples has more air drag that opposes the motion.

A golf ball is smooth ball with dimples to create a thin turbulent boundary layer of air that clings to the ball's surface. This allows the smoothly flowing air to follow the ball's surface a little farther around the back side of the ball, thereby decreasing the size of the wake, and allowing the ball to travel more easily.
