A net downward force of 20 N causes a book to fall towards the ground at m/s2. What is the book’s mass? Consider air resistance

If we have to figure air resistance into it, then we don't have enough information to find an answer.  

If the air around it is going to have an effect on how it falls, then it'll depend on the thickness of the book, the shape of the book, whether it's a hard-cover or soft-cover, how far the covers stick out past the pages, how smooth or rough the covers are, how bumpy the binding it. and what position you hold it in before you let it go.

(THAT's why we always ignore air resistance, especially when the question is actually about gravity anyway.)

If a satellite weighs 321 lb. on the earth's surface (R = 4,000 miles), how much does it weigh 12,000 miles above the surface? (
Sever21 [200]

The gravitational force between the Earth and the satellite (its "weight") is inversely proportional to the distance between the centers of both objects.

On the surface, their centers are separated by 1 Earth radius.

12,000 miles above the surface, they're separated by 4 Earth radiii.

(4/1) = 4

So after the move, the satellite's weight is (1/4²) = 1/16 of its surface weight.

(321 lb) / (16) = (20 and a hair) lb

The correct choice from the given list is " <em>>20 lb "</em> .

What is the Validity measures of a basketball bouncing
kykrilka [37]

This study was aimed at testing the construct validity of the basketball basic motion skills test instrument (ITK GDBB). The research used descriptive method of 3 basketball experts in the city of Cimahi; 3 experts are the expert in basketball. The instrument used was the ITB GDBB developed by Silvy (2019) consisting of top passing, bottom passing, top service, bottom service, chest passing, bounding passing, overhead passing, and leading ball (dribbling). This instrument consists of 76 items that cover 4 domains in basketball, namely chest pass, overhead pass, bound pass, and dribbling. The validity method used the construct validity of different power types. For the reliability method, it used the Kuder Ricardson (KR) and Objectivity analysis. The results of the construct validity analysis of a total of 76 items show that the score is ranged from 0.67 to 1.00. The construct validity value of 71 items in the basketball game is in the high category (= 1.00), 5 items are in the sufficient category, the relativity score is ranged from 0.75 to 0.98, and the objectivity score is ranged from 0.89 to 0.95. The conclusion is that this test instrument can be used as a standardized basic motion skill test for standardized large ball games for validity in basic motion skills in basketball games for grade VII junior high school students.

A. In your own words, define what a longitudinal wave is.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Longitudinal wave is a type of wave in which the the movement of the wave particle is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This simply means that the wave particles is in the same or opposite direction to the wave propagation.

B. Sound waves- These are longitudinal waves because its medium particles through which the sound is transported oscillates parallel to the direction of the movement of the sound wave.

A sound wave is direct at a wall. In 20 seconds, 200 wave cycles hit the wall.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Frequency=10 Hz

Period=0.1 s

Explanation:

Frequency of a wave is the number of complete cycles per unit time. Usually, frequency is cycles per second, with unit as Heartz

Given cycles of the wave as 200 and time as 20 seconds

Frequency=200÷20=10 cycles per second

Therefore, frequency is 10 Hz

Period is usually the reviprocal of frequency hence reciprocal of 10 Hz will be 1/10=0.1 s

Waldo gets stopped by the police, and the police officer tells Waldo that she caught him on radar doing 50 miles per hour in a 4
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

He calculated his average speed.

Explanation:

Waldo calculated an average of his speed in 2 hours rather than his speed whilst driving which means instead of doing 50/1 hour = 50 mph, he did 50/2hours which is how he got 25 mph. Hope this helps!
