Answer:

A. 20 N down

Explanation:

It's asking how much force of gravity is acting on it. The book weighs 20 Newtons so that's how much gravity is being applied. Hope this helps

An object is thrown upward from the top of a 144​-foot building with an initial velocity of 128 feet per second. The height h of
ankoles [38]

Answer:

After 9 seconds the object reaches ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

We equation of motion given as h = -16t²+128t+144,

We need to find in how many seconds will the object hit the ground,

That is we need to find time when h = 0

                        0 = -16t²+128t+144

                       16t²-128t-144= 0

                       t=\frac{-(-128)\pm \sqrt{(-128)^2-4\times 16\times (-144)}}{2\times 16}\\\\t=\frac{128\pm \sqrt{25600}}{32}\\\\t=\frac{128\pm 160}{32}\\\\t=9s\texttt{ or }t=-1s

Negative time is not possible, hence after 9 seconds the object reaches ground.

A speeding Thunderbird left skid marks on the road that were 76.7 m long when it came to a stop. If the acceleration of the car
FrozenT [24]

Answer: 39.2 m/s

Explanation:

You can use the kinematic equation:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2a*d

We know the final velocity because it says it came to a stop. So now all we gotta do is plug in.

0^2=v_i^2+2(-10)(76.7)\\v_i^2=1,534\\v_i=\sqrt{1534} \\=39.166 m/s

Corrosive substances are rarely harmful to human skin.
Shtirlitz [24]

Corrosive substances are rarely harmful to human skin.   This statement is <em>False.</em>  Corrosive substances are ALMOST ALWAYS harmful to the skin.

Most problems addressed by the technological design process have only one solution.  This statement is also <em>False.</em>  There is more than one way to skin a cat.
