A book is sitting on the dashboard of a car that is stopped at a traffic light as the car starts to move forward the book slides

backward off the dashboard what does the book actually do

Answer:

The book remained in its state of rest before the car started to move forward as no direct force acted on it.

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, a body will continue in its present state of rest, or if it is in motion, will continue to move with uniform speed in a straight line unless aced upon by an external force. This tendency of a body to remain in its state of reset or uniform motion in a straight line is known as inertia and is directly proportional to the mass of the body. The more massive a body, the more inertia it possesses. Thus Newton's first law is also known as the law of inertia.

Considering the case of the book on the dashboard of a stationary car which suddenly starts to move. While the car is stopped at the traffic light, the dashboard where the book sits and the book are both at rest. When the car begins to move forward, the dashboard moves forward with it. However as the book is not a part of the car, no force is directly acting on it, so the book so it stays at rest due to its inertia.

Therefore, as the car is moving forward, the stationary book appears to move backward from the reference point of the car, sliding off the dashboard.

When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a
Sergeu [11.5K]

1) Maximum

2) Maximum

Explanation:

The force acting on a mass on a spring is given by Hooke's law; in magnitude:

F=kx

where

F is the force

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement

Also we know from Newton's second law that we can write

F=ma

where

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

So we can write the equation as

ma=kx (1)

From this relationship, we see that the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement.

On the other hand, we know that the total mechanical energy of the system mass-spring is constant, and it is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=const. (2)

where the first term is the elastic potential energy while the second term is the kinetic energy, and where

v is the velocity of the mass

From eq. (2), it is clear that when displacement increases, velocity decreases, and vice-versa; however, from eq.(1) we also know that acceleration is proportional to the displacement.

Therefore this means that:

- When acceleration increases, velocity decreases

- When acceleration decreases, velocity increases

Therefore, the two answers here are:

- When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a  maximum

When the velocity of a mass on a spring is zero, the acceleration is at a  maximum

How could you group pennies,nickels, and dimes together
julsineya [31]

There isn't a direct answer to this, but I can show you!

This is how you group Pennies, Nickels, and Dimes.

1 Penny= 1 cent.

1 Nickel= 5 cents.

1 Dime= 10 cents.

Imagine if there was 5 pennies, 3 dimes, and 8 Nickels.

That might seem like a lot of numbers, but it's pretty simple!

You know how pennies are worth 1 cent? If we had 5 pennies, that would be 5 cents.

1+1+1+1+1=5 cents.

Then, we have 3 dimes. Dimes are each 10 cents.

So, 10x3 (If you know multiplication,  if not, you will learn it later) :)

10+10+10=  30 cents.

Now, nickels. We have 8 nickels! Remember, each nickel is 5 cents.

5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5=

40 Nickels.

Now add all of the coins up.

5 cents + 30 cents + 40 cents = 75 cents!

I hope this helped! If you need more help, you can ask me. :)
