When a cup is placed on a table, which force prevents the cup from falling to the ground?

I believe it is normal force.

Answer: Normal force prevents the cup from falling to the ground.

Explanation :

When a cup is placed on a table, the forces acting on the cup are the gravitational force and the normal force. The gravitational force acts in the downward direction while the normal force acts in an upward direction.

In the figure, N is the normal force and mg is the weight of an object acting in downward direction.

It is clear that the gravitational force is balanced by the normal force.

So, the correct option is (b) " normal force ".

The temperature of a sample of silver increased by 24.0 °C when 269 J of heat was applied. What is the mass of the sample?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Mass of the silver will be equal to 46.70 gram

Explanation:

We have given heat required to raise the temperature of silver by 24°C is 269 J , so \Delta T=24^{\circ}C

Specific heat of silver = 0.240 J/gram°C

We have to find the mass of silver

We know that heat required is given by

Q=mc\Delta T, here m is mass, c is specific heat of silver and \Delta T is rise in temperature

So 269=m\times 0.240\times 24

m = 46.70 gram

So mass of the silver will be equal to 46.70 gram

What kind of reaction typically has a carbon compound and oxygen as
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Answer would be  C because combustion does the process of heat. Oxygen is a reactant in a combination reaction, which always produces energy in the form of heat and light. Carbon burns in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide.

A baseball is hit almost straight up into the air with a speed of 26 m/s . Estimate how high it goes.
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The maximum height of the ball is 34.5 m.

The ball is 5.31 s in the air.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations for the height and velocity of the baseball that is hit straight up are as follows:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height of the baseball at time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g =  acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity at time t.

If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the place where the baseball is hit, then, y0 = 0.

To calculate how high it goes, we have to obtain the time at which the ball is at maximum height. At that point, the velocity is 0. Then using the equation of velocity:

v = v0 + g · t

0 = 26 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t

-26 m/s / -9.8 m/s² = t

t = 2.65 s

The height at that time will be the maximum height:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²        (y0 = 0)

y = 26 m/s · 2.65 s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (2.65 s)²

y = 34.5 m

The maximum height of the ball is 34.5 m

If it takes the ball 2.65 s to reach the maximum height it will take another 2.65 s to return to the initial position. Then, the time it will be in the air is (2.65 s + 2.65 s) 5.30 s. However, let´s calculate the time it takes the ball to reach the initial position using the equation for height.

At the initial position y = 0. Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²        (y0 = 0)

0 = 26 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = t (26 m/s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t)      (t = 0 when the ball is hit)

0 = 26 m/s - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t

-26 / -4.9 m/s² = t

t = 5.31 s     ( the difference with the 5.30 s obtained above is due to rounding the time to 2.65 s).

The ball is 5.31 s in the air.

Have a nice day!

umka21 [38]

Answer:T=1316.21 N

Explanation:

The tension has two components: Vertical and Horizontal. The

horizontal component is ma, the vertical component is mg. Using

Pythagoras theorem, we can find the tension as:

T=((ma)^2 (mg)^2)^(1/2)

So

T=((129*2.84)^2 (129*9.8)^2)^(1/2)

T=1316.21 N
