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

Physics
2 answers:
aleksley [76]3 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.

The​ time, t, required to drive a fixed distance varies inversely as the​ speed, r. It takes 3 hr at a speed of 14 ​km/h to driv
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

time taken with speed 23 km/h will be 1.8 hours or 1 hour 48 minutes

Explanation:

Given:

Time is inversely proportional to the speed

mathematically,

t ∝ (1/r)

let the proportionality constant be 'k'

thus,

t = k/r

therefore, for case 1

time = 3 hr

speed = 14 km/hr

3 = k/14

also,

for case 2

let the time be = t

r = 23 km/h

thus,

we have

t = k/23

on dividing equation 2 by 1

we get

\frac{t}{3}=\frac{k/23}{k/14}

or

t=\frac{14\times3}{23}

or

t = 1.8 hr = or 1 hour 48 minutes ( 0.8 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 48 minutes)

A ferry is travelling at 10 m/s relative to the river towards the south. The river is flowing at 2 m/s relative to
mixer [17]

Answer:

11 m/s south

Explanation:

The velocity of the passenger relative to the river bank is equal to the velocity of the passenger relative to the ferry, plus the velocity of the ferry relative to the river, plus the velocity of the river relative to the river bank.

v_passenger,bank = v_passenger,ferry + v_ferry,river + v_river,bank

If we take north to be positive and south to be negative:

v = 1.0 m/s + (-10 m/s) + (-2 m/s)

v = -11 m/s

v = 11 m/s south

The change of energy from one type to another; for example, kinetic to potential, or kinetic
Elena L [17]

Answer:Broadly speaking, all energy in the universe can be categorized as either potential energy or kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy associated with position, like a ball held up in the air. When you let go of that ball and let it fall, the potential energy converts into kinetic energy, or the energy associated with motion.

EXAMPLES: There are five types of kinetic energy: radiant, thermal, sound, electrical and mechanical. Let's explore several kinetic energy examples to better illustrate these various forms.

A statement made prior to an experiment, and based on little scientific evidence, is
Iteru [2.4K]
A- hypothesis
You usually write hypothesis in science it’s something that can usually be tested.
