Answer:

1) A downward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the force of of gravity

2) An upward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the table

Explanation:

First of all, any object near the Earth's surface experiences the forces of gravity, which is also called weight of the object. This force always acts downward.

For the book in the problem, the magnitude of the weight is 5 N.

We also know that the book is at rest: this means that the net force acting on it is zero, and there must be another force balancing the weight, in order to give a zero net force. This other force is the reaction force exerted by the table on the book: the magnitude of this force must be equal to the force of gravity (so, 5 N) and its direction is opposite to the weight, therefore upward.

aniked [119]
The name of the scientist who incorrectly theorized that it was the positive charge that moved through a circuit is Benjamin Franklin. Franklin made his famous experiments with a kite in a charged cloud.
He was the scientist that made the electrical notation where the current is given by the direction of the positive charges flow.

=0002
And...
2.5×10^4=25000

Then divide:

0002÷25000=8E-9

Inductors in series. Two inductors L1 = 1.05 H and L2 = 2.07 H are connected in series and are separated by a large distance so
hodyreva [135]

The inductance of several inductors in series is the sum of all the individuals ... just like for resistors.

a). With 1.05H and 2.07H in series, the equivalent total inductance is <em>3.12H</em> , provided the inductors can't influence each other with their magnetic fields.

b). If you had 30 identical inductors in series, each with inductance of 3.03H, AND none of them could influence any other ones with their magnetic fields, their combined equivalent inductance would be

(30) · (3.03H) = <em>90.9 H</em> .

You would like a pendulum that swings back and forth once every 2 seconds, but the one you have swings once every 1.9 seconds. W
patriot [66]

Your pendulum does a complete swing in 1.9 seconds.  You want to SLOW IT DOWN so it takes 2.0 seconds.

Longer pendulums swing slower.

You need to <em>make your pendulum slightly longer</em>.

If your pendulum is hanging by a thread or a thin string, then its speed doesn't depend at all on the weight at the bottom.  You can add weight or cut some off, and it won't change the speed a bit.
