Answer:

The book does not move because all the forces acting on the book are in equilibrium, creating a net force of zero magnitude on the book. Since the net force on the book is zero, this means that the book will remain in its present state of motion (which is that the book is motionless).

Explanation:

Newton's first law states that all body will remain in their present state of motion unless acted upon by an external force. In order word, a moving body should continue moving forever, and a body at rest should remain like that forever, unless they are acted upon by a force to either cause them to stop stop or to start moving respectively.

What length of a certain metal wire of diameter 0.15 mm is needed for the wire to have a resistance of 15 ω? the resistivity of

Murljashka [212]

The resistance of the cylindrical wire is $R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$ .

Here $R$ is the resistance, $l$ is the length of the wire and $A$ is the area of cross section. Since the wire is cylindrical $A=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}$ . Rearranging the above equation,

$A=\frac{\rho l}{R}\\ \frac{\pi d^2}{4}=\frac{\rho l}{R}\\ l=\frac{\pi d^2 R}{4 \rho}$

Here $d=0.15, R=15, \rho=1.68(10^{-8})$ .

Substituting numerical values,

$l=\frac{\pi 0.15^2(10^{-6}) (15)}{4 (1.68)(10^{-8})} \\ l=15.78$

The length of the wire is $15.78 \;\;m$

The distance from Earth to the star Epsilon Eridani is about 10.5 light years. Which of the following statements is true?

Simora [160]

<span>The correct answer is B. - It would take a ray of light 10.5 light years to travel from Earth to Epsilon Eridani, or vice-versa. Using our current technology it would take far longer than 21.0 years for a space ship from Earth to travel that far - I would have to guess many hundreds of years.</span>

A boat loaded with a barrel of water floats in a swimming pool. When the water in the barrel is poured overboard, the swimming p

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: Remain unchanged

Explanation:

The boat with water barrel overboard floats in swimming pool when weight of the water displaced by the boat is equal to the buoyant force acting on the boat.

When the water in the barrel is poured overboard, the level of the swimming pool level would remain unchanged as the weight of the boat with the water and barrel would remain unchanged ( as the density and volume of the whole system remains same) and hence, the weight of the water (of the swimming pool) displaced by the boat would remain same.

A boat loaded with a barrel of water floats in a swimming pool. When the water in the barrel is poured overboard, the swimming pool level will <u>remain unchanged. </u>

A long wave with a period of about 15 minutes will travel across the oceans at a speed of approximately _______.

Temka [501]

The speed of the wave is mathematically given as

v=2266.66m/s

A long wave with a period of about 15 minutes will travel across the oceans at a speed of approximately v=2266.66m/s

<h3>Speed of the wave</h3>

Question Parameters:

A long wave with a period of about 15 minutes

Generally the equation for the Wave velocity is mathematically given as

v=\lambda * frequency

Where

f=1/t

Therefore

v=\lambda * frequency

v=\lambda * 1/t

Therefore, with wavelenght of the ocean as 34km

v=34*1000*1/15

v=2266.66m/s
