There are three forces acting on the book.
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.

Inside a television picture tube there is a build-up of electrons (charge of 1.602 × 10^–19 C) with an average spacing of 38.0 n

Brut [27]

The magnitude of electric field is produced by the electrons at a certain distance.

E = kQ/r²

where:
E = electric field produced
Q = charge
r = distance
k = Coulomb Law constant 9 x10^9 N. m2 / C2

Given are the following:
Q = 1.602 × 10^–19 C
r = 38 x 10^-9 m

Substitue the given:
E = $\frac{( 1.602 x 10^{-19} )( 9.0x10_{9} )}{(38x10^{-9}) ^{2} }$

E = 998.476 kN/C

You have covered a grounded metal surface with a layer of photoconductor. Working in the dark, you sprinkle negative charge onto

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

A. the left half becomes neutral while the right half remains negatively charged

Explanation:

This is because wherever light strikes the photoconductor, it transforms from an insulator into a conductor. The charge will then migrate through it and leaves its surface. By exposing the left half of the photoconductor to light, you allow its local charge to leave and it becomes neutral.

elixir [45]

Answer:

wavelength.

Explanation:

One complete expression of a waveform beginning at a certain point, progressing through the zero line to the wave’s highest (crest) and lowest (trough) points, and returning to the same value as the starting point is called a is called wavelength. Its can be also defined as the distance between two successive crests or trough points in wave form.
