A book that weighs 19 Newtons sits on a table. With what force

Physics
1 answer:
iVinArrow [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

We know there's two forces acting on a book while it sits on a table:the force of gravity pulling it down, and the normal force of the table acting upward on the book. The book isn't accelerating while it sits there. That's because the weight of the book is being counteracted by the normal force of the table.

Explanation:

There are two forces acting upon the book. One force - the Earth's gravitational pull - exerts a downward force. The other force - the push of the table on the book (sometimes referred to as a normal force) - pushes upward on the book.

Answer:

(a) F_{sm} = 4.327\times 10^{20}\ N

(b) F_{em} = 1.983\times 10^{20}\ N

(c) F_{se} = 3.521\times 10^{20}\ N

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of Earth, M_{e} = 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg

Mass of Moon, M_{m} = 7.34\times 10^{22}\ kg

Mass of Sun, M_{s} = 1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg

Distance between the earth and the moon, R_{em} = 3.84\times 10^{8}\ m

Distance between the earth and the sun, R_{es} = 1.5\times 10^{11}\ m

Distance between the sun and the moon, R_{sm} =  1.5\times 10^{11}\ m

Now,

We know that the gravitational force between two bodies of mass m and m' separated by a distance 'r' is given y:

F_{G} = \frac{Gmm'_{2}}{r^{2}}                             (1)

Now,

(a) The force exerted by the Sun on the Moon is given by eqn (1):

F_{sm} = \frac{GM_{s}M_{m}}{R_{sm}^{2}}

F_{sm} = \frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\times 7.34\times 10^{22}}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^{2}}

F_{sm} = 4.327\times 10^{20}\ N

(b) The force exerted by the Earth on the Moon is given by eqn (1):

F_{em} = \frac{GM_{s}M_{m}}{R_{em}^{2}}

F_{em} = \frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}\times 7.34\times 10^{22}}{(3.84\times 10^{8})^{2}}

F_{em} = 1.983\times 10^{20}\ N

(c) The force exerted by the Sun on the Earth is given by eqn (1):

F_{se} = \frac{GM_{s}M_{m}}{R_{es}^{2}}

F_{se} = \frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{((1.5\times 10^{11}))^{2}}

F_{se} = 3.521\times 10^{20}\ N

When people use plastic combs on their hair, the combs become negatively charged. Which statements about this situation are true
Vadim26 [7]
The answer would be:
The comb gains electrons.
The hair loses electrons.

In chemistry, the charge depends on the electrons and protons. The electron will give negative charge and proton will give the positive charge. Proton is located in the nucleus of the atoms so it won't easily move like electron which located in the orbit in the atoms perimeter. So, ignore the option with the proton.
If the combs become negatively charged, that means it gain some electron. Since something gain electron, that means another thing is losing an electron. That electron comes from the hair.
