Use Newton’s first law to explain why a book on a desk does not move

Physics
2 answers:
aleksley [76]2 years ago

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.

natural position of things is the resting

Explanation:

yeah that's it

Explanation:

a chemical change is the only change that can change a substance since it changes the chemical properties of the substance, hence making a new substance

Assume that the force exerted on each crutch by the ground is directed along the crutch, as the force vectors in the drawing ind
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: 43 degrees

Explanation:

The force of the crutch can be broken into components.  The horizontal component of F is the static friction force keeping the crutch from sliding.  The vertical component is opposing the weight and is the Normal force.  Using the orientation of the angle q, we have the following

fs = Fx = F sin (angle (tita))

N = Fy = F cos (angle(tita))

Maximum angle implies maximum static friction

Therefore,

fsmax = UsN = Us x F cos(angle tita)

Where U = miyu

F sin(angle tita) = Us x Fcos (angle tita)

Sin (angle tita) / cos (angle tita) = Us

Therefore, tan (angle tita) = Us

Angle tita = tan^-1(Us) = tan^-1 (0.931) = 42.95 degrees = 43 degrees

There for Angle tita Max = 43 degrees

If Jupiter were 10 times more massive, it would generate nuclear fusion in its core and be a star instead of a planet. If Jupite
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Let me put it in numbers. Jupiter has mass of 1.898x10^27Kg, make it 10 times as much and it becomes 1.898x10^28 Kg.

TRAPPIST-1, smallest star ever found has Mass of 1.77x10^29Kg, that is around 93 times larger than the mass of Jupiter.

Clearly 10 times as much is not enough to generate fusion reaction and become a star, in theory Jupiter must be at least 85 times larger than it's current mass to be able to generate fusion reaction and become a star.

So i think we can conclude that if Jupiter were to have 10 times of its own mass, it would not become a star, therefore the given statement is False.

Define refractive index.​
levacccp [35]
The refractive index of a material is a dimensionless number that describes how fast light travels through the material. It is defined as n={\frac {c}{v}}, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the phase velocity of light in the medium.

the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to its velocity in a specified medium.
