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.

ivanzaharov [21]

The compass is designed and developed to use a pendulous system to improve horizontality.

<h3>What is a compass?</h3>

A compass can be defined as a scientific instrument that contains a magnetized pointer, which is used to show and indicate the following four (4) main cardinal directions:

  • North (N)
  • South (S)
  • West (W)
  • East (E)

Basically, the compass is a scientific instrument that's designed and developed to use a pendulous system to improve horizontality.

A barbel weighing 215N is raised to a height of 2.0 M above the ground. It is then dropped from that height.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

  • 430 J
  • 6.26 m/s

Explanation:

A. The kinetic energy is the same as the initial potential energy:

  PE = mgh = (215 N)(2.0 M) = 430 J

__

B. The velocity achieved by falling from a height h is given by ...

  v = √(2gh)

  v =  √(2·9.8 m/s^2·2 m) = √(39.2 m^2/s^2)

  v ≈ 6.26 m/s
