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 ".

a particle moves along the x axis with an acceleration of a=18t, where a has units if m/s2. if the particle at time t=0 is at th
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

 Position at t= 4 seconds is 144 m

Explanation:

 It is given that acceleration, a = 18 t, where t is the time.

 We know that Velocity, v = \int { a} \, dt

  Substituting value of a,

           Velocity, v = \int {18t} \, dt=\frac{18t^2}{2} +c=9t^2+c

 We know that at t = 0, v = -12 m/s

         So, 9*0^2+c=-12\\ \\ c=-12m/s

So velocity, v = (9t^2-12)m/s

  We also know that displacement, x = \int { v} \, dt

     Substituting value of v,  

        Displacement, x=\int {(9t^2-12)} \, dt=\frac{9t^3}{3} -12t+c=3t^3-12t+c

  We know that at t = 0, particle is at origin, x =0.

               So,  0=3*0^3-12*0+c\\ \\ c=0

   Displacement, x = 3t^3-12t

At t = 4 seconds

   x = 3*4^3-12*4=192--48=144m

Position at t= 4 seconds is 144 m

What would the final volume of 40 L of gas at 80 pascals be if the pressure increases to 130 pascals?
melomori [17]

Answer:

Final volume, V2 = 24.62 L

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume = 40 L

Initial pressure = 80 Pa

Final pressure = 130 Pa

To find the final volume V2, we would use Boyles' law.

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

PV = K

P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

80 * 40 = 130V_{2}

3200 = 130V_{2}

V_{2} = \frac {3200}{130}

V_{2} = 24.62

Final volume, V2 = 24.62 Liters

Which one of the following statements is true concerning the magnitude of the electric field at a point in space? It is a measur
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

It is a measure of the electric force per unit charge on a test charge.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field is defined as the force per charge on the test charge.

Since we define electric field as the force per charge, it will have the units of  force divided by the unit of charge. This implies that the SI unit of electric field is given as Newton/Coulomb (N/C).

morpeh [17]

Answer:

A. attracted to the negative terminal of the voltage source.

Explanation:

When an electron is displaced in a semiconductor, the hole that's left behind is

A. attracted to the negative terminal of the voltage source.

The electron leaving leaves a net + charge, which is attracted to the negative terminal.
