Explain why a book placed on a table does not move?

Physics

N76 [4]3 years ago

Answer:

4th: "The force that the book exerts down on the table is equal to the force the table exerts upward"

Explanation:

Basically, a book on a table is balanced in terms of forces. Gravity is opposed by the table and there are no forces acting to move the book in any direction. If there was a breeze that was not strong enough to move the book, it is because the force of friction is equal to that provided by the breeze.

Answer:

The force that the book exerts down on the table is equal to the force the table exerts upward.

Explanation:

I am 100% positive. That results in balanced forces which is why it does not move. If you did want it to move, you would apply unbalanced forces.

A dart gun consists of a horizontal spring with k = 52 Newtons/m that is compressed 43
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

299 m/s^2

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed, the force exerted by the spring is given by:

F=kx

where

k is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

In this problem we have:

k = 52 N/m is the spring constant

x = 43 cm = 0.43 m is the compression

Therefore, the force exerted by the spring on the dart is

F=(52)(0.43)=22.4 N

Now we can apply Newton' second law of motion to calculate the acceleration of the dart:

F=ma

where

F = 22.4 N is the force exerted on the dart by the spring

m = 75 g = 0.075 kg is the mass of the dart

a is its acceleration

Solving for a,

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{22.4}{0.075}=299 m/s^2

A skater slides across the ice with an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s. She slows 10 points
zvonat [6]

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of a skater is, u = 5 m/s

She slows to a velocity of 2 m/s over a distance of 20 m.

We can find the acceleration of skater. It is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So, it can be calculated using third equation of motion as follows :

v^2-u^2=2as

a = acceleration

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a=\dfrac{(2)^2-(5)^2}{2\times 20}\\\\a=-0.525\ m/s^2

So, her acceleration is 0.525\ m/s^2 and she is deaccelerating. Also, her initial velocity is given i.e. 5 m/s.

A tennis ball, 0.314kg, is accelerated at a rate of 164m/s2 when hit by a professional tennis player. What force does the player
Colt1911 [192]

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

= (0.314 kg) x (164 m/s²)

=  51.5 newtons

(about 11.6 pounds).

Notice that the ball is only accelerating while it's in contact with the racket. The instant the ball loses contact with the racket, it stops accelerating, and sails off in a straight line at whatever speed it had when it left the strings.

What type of energy conversion results when friction slows down a ball rolling across the floor
ale4655 [162]

Friction between the ball and the floor is stealing some of the kinetic energy of the ball, and turning it into heat.
