1.

Answer:

Hand on book

Earth on book

Explanation:

Since we are holding the book so the forces that acts on the book is

1. Hand on book

this is the contact force between hand and the book

2. Earth on book

here this is the gravitational attraction force of earth on the book

2.

Answer:

A. book on hand  - NA

B. hand on book  - upwards

C. floor on book  - NA

D. earth on book - downwards

Explanation:

Since book is holding in hand so at equilibrium position we can say that the forces on the book must be in equilibrium

so first of all the force of attraction due to earth on the book is downwards and this is counterbalanced by the force of hand on book which is upwards.

3.

Answer:

A. book on hand  

Explanation:

As per Newton's III law we know that every action has equal and opposite reaction.

so if our hand apply the force on the book in upward direction then book will apply same magnitude force on the hand in downward direction.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

1176 Nm or J

Explanation:

W = F*d

F = 60kg * 9.8 kgm/s^2 = 588 N

W = 588 N * 2m = 1176 N*m

It takes 6 sec for a stone to fall the the bottom of a mineshaft. calculate the
Stels [109]
Ok so this is simple projectile motion problem.

if we have an object falling in free fall it is subject to gravity of -9.80m/s^2

so it says it takes 6 sec to fall and we know initial velocity was zero so we know that h=vt+1/2gt^2 so we get h=0+1/2*9.80*6^2 = 176.4m 

so solving for final speed we get KE=PE = 1/2mv^2=mgh = 1/2v^2=gh so 
v=sqrt(2*g*h) = sqrt(2*9.8*176.4m) = 58.8m/s final speed when it hits the ground


hope this helps you! Thanks!!

Wheel A has a radius of R and wheel B has a radius of 2R. Wheel A has all the mass at the rim, while wheel B has the mass unifor
azamat

Answer:

Wheel A.

Explanation:

The lesser the moment of inertia, the greater the angular acceleration. Then, the moments of inertia of each wheel are described below:

Wheel A

I_{A} = M\cdot R^{2}

Wheel B

I_{B} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot M \cdot (2\cdot R)^{2}

I_{B} = 2\cdot M\cdot R^{2}

The wheel A accelerates faster in response to the torque.

Relate a real life phenomenon with each branch of physics
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Branches of physics with real life examples

In measuring and understanding nuclear fission (a real life phenomenon), all branches of theoretical and experimental physics have to be employed. Physics branches needed in it are, radiation detection and measurement, nuclear physics, statistical physics, thermodynamics, and almost all others.

Which of the following accurately describe some aspect of gravitational waves? Select all that apply.
steposvetlana [31]
<h2>Answers:</h2>

-The first direct detection of gravitational waves came in 2015

-The existence of gravitational waves is predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity

-Gravitational waves carry energy away from their sources of emission

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Gravitational waves were discovered (theoretically) by Albert Einstein in 1916 and "observed" for the first time in direct form in 2015 (although the results were published in 2016).  

These gravitational waves are fluctuations or disturbances of space-time produced by a massive accelerated body, modifying the distances and the dimensions of objects in an imperceptible way.  

In this context, an excellent example is the system of two neutron stars that orbit high speeds, producing a deformation that propagates like a wave,<u> in the same way as when a stone is thrown into the water</u>. So, in this sense, gravitational waves carry energy away from their sources .

Therefore, the correct options are D, E and F.
