Answer:
Approximately
. (Assuming that
, and that the tabletop is level.)
Explanation:
Weight of the book:
.
If the tabletop is level, the normal force on the book will be equal (in magnitude) to weight of the book. Hence,
.
As a side note, the
and
on this book are not equal- these two forces are equal in size but point in the opposite directions.
When the book is moving, the friction
on it will be equal to
, the coefficient of kinetic friction, times
, the normal force that's acting on it.
That is:
.
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion. The friction here should act in the opposite direction of that
applied force. The net force on the book shall be:
.
Apply Newton's Second Law to find the acceleration of this book:
.
Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension. This sediment is often formed when weathering and erosion break down a rock into loose material in a source area.
Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth. Surface waves travel across the surface. Surface waves decay more slowly with distance than body waves which travel in three dimensions. Particle motion of surface waves is larger than that of body waves, so surface waves tend to cause more damage.
