A book is sitting on a desk. What best describes the normal force acting on the book?

The normal force on the book ... the upward force of the table against the
book ... must be exactly equal to the weight of the book, and acting in the
direction exactly opposite to the force of gravity.

If the normal force didn't exactly balance the force of gravity on the book,
so that their sum is zero, then instead of just laying there, the book would
be accelerating.

My best guess would be:

"A force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction"

However I assume that this question is multiple choice, by the way it is introduced. Therefore it would be helpful if these options were also displayed - hence take this as my best guess only.

calculate the displacement and velocity of a ball 0.50 seconds after it is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 15.0 m
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The ball will have a displacement of 0.5*15.0=7.5m after 0.5 seconds. The velocity of the ball will be 15.0 m/s, since it is not acted on by any forces except gravity (which acts in the direction opposite of the velocity).

Explanation:

We know this is the answer because, according to the kinematic equation:

v^2=u^2+2*a*d

0=15.0^2+2*(-9.8)*d

d=-7.5m

Consider a collection of charges in a given region and suppose all other charges are distant and have a negligible effect. Furth
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

E. Some charges in the region are positive, and some are negative.

Explanation:

Electric potential is given as;

V = \frac{W}{Q}

where;

W is the work done in moving a charge between two points which have a difference in potential

Q is quantity of charge in the given region

If the electric potential at a given point in the region is zero, then sum of the charges in the given region must be equal to zero. For the charges to sum to zero, some will be positive while some will be negative,.

Therefore, the correct statement in the given options is "E"

E. Some charges in the region are positive, and some are negative.

On a sunny day does a bird or an aeroplane flying high in the sky casts its shadow on the ground
Alex73 [517]

Explanation:

It depends because the higher the object is, the bigger the shadow, however, the object should be close to the line directly from the sun, for you to see the shadow visible.

If a maserati. with a belocity of 6 m/s E, accelerates at a rate of 85 m/s^2 for 5 seconds, what will its velocity be?
Ksju [112]

The final velocity of the Maserati after accelerating at the rate of 85 m/s² for 5 seconds is 431m/s.

<h3>How to calculate the final velocity a moving object?</h3>

From the first equation of equation of motion, final velocity is the sum of the initial velocity and the product of acceleration and time.

It is expressed as;

v = u + at

Where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time elapsed.

Given the data in the question;

  • Initial velocity u = 6m/s
  • Acceleration a = 85m/s²
  • Elapsed time t = 5s
  • Final velocity v = ?

Plug the given values into the first equation of motion and solve for v.

v = u + at

v = 6m/s + ( 85m/s² × 5s )

v = 6m/s + 425ms/s²

v = 6m/s + 425m/s

v = 431m/s

The final velocity of the Maserati after accelerating at the rate of 85 m/s² for 5 seconds is 431m/s.
