Answer: Static Friction

Explanation: As you tilt the book you know that it will stay fixed to start with, but eventually, once the angle is large enough, the book will start to slide. It is the static friction force that holds the book in place at small angles of tilt.

Acceleration<span> is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is </span>accelerating<span> if it is changing its velocity. It can be calculated by the expression:

a = v2 - v1 / t

From the given in the problem, we can solve for v2, the final velocity:

3 = v2 - 0 / 300
v2 = 900 m/s</span>

There are so many to choose from, I'll give you two. One is a big one. The other so/so. People used to believe the earth was flat and you would fall off, until Christopher Columbus sailed across. And another interesting one is the vulcan planet theory, which is that there was an extra planet between Mercury and T sun. however it turned out to be false. So there, need anymore just tell me.

A cannon is fired straight up into the air. If the cannon ball comes back down to the launch point in 5 seconds, what was the ma
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

30.63 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s

Maximum height (h) =.?

Next, we shall determine the time taken to reach the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height =.?

T = 2t

5 = 2t

Divide both side by 2

t = 5/2

t = 2.5 s

Thus, the time (t) taken to reach the maximum height is 2.5 s

Finally, we shall determine the maximum height reached by the ball as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height = 2.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Maximum height (h) =.?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 2.5²

h = 4.9 × 6.25

h = 30.625 ≈ 30.63 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the cannon ball is 30.63 m

If a moon on jupiter has 1/8 the mass of the earth and 1/2 the earth's radius, what is the acceleration of gravity on the planet
dusya [7]

The formula we can use here is:

g = G m / r^2

where g is gravity, G is gravitational constant, m is mass, and r is radius

Since G is constant, therefore we can equate two situations:

g1 m1 / r1^2 = g2 m2 / r2^2

(10 m/s^2) r1^2 / m1 = g2 * (1/2 r1)^2 / (1/8 m1)

<span>g2 = 5 m/s^2</span>
