a book is sitting still on your desk. are the forces acting on the book balanced or unbalanced? explain.

They are balanced. If the forces were not balanced the book would move*. In this example, the downward force of gravity on the book is counterbalanced by the upthrust of the desk.

The answer to this is balanced. Remember the downward force of gravity on the book is counterbalanced by the upthrust of the desk. Note that moving objects can also have balanced forces acting on them. if an object is moving at a constant speed, the force acting on it are balanced. It they are unbalanced the object would either accelerate or decelerate.

Hope this helped.

Answer:

The ratio of electric force to the gravitational force is $2.27\times 10^{39}$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance between electron and proton, $r=4.53\ A=4.53\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Electric force is given by :

$F_e=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Gravitational force is given by :

$F_g=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

Where

$m_1$ is mass of electron, $m_1=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

$m_2$ is mass of proton, $m_2=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

$q_1$ is charge on electron, $q_1=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ kg$

$q_2$ is charge on proton, $q_2=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ kg$

$\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{Gm_1m_2}$

$\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}}$

$\dfrac{F_e}{F_g}=2.27\times 10^{39}$

So, the ratio of electric force to the gravitational force is $2.27\times 10^{39}$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

The x component of the resultant force is -7.27N.

Explanation:

To obtain the x component of the resultant force, first we have to know the x components of the other forces. To do this, we just have to do some trigonometry:

$|F_{1x}|=|F_1|\cos\theta_1=9.20N\cos62.0\°=4.31N \\|F_{2x}|=|F_2|\cos\theta_2=5.00N\cos53.6\°=2.96N$

Since both vectors are in the left side of the y-axis, they have a negative x component. So:

$F_{1x}=-4.31N;\\F_{2x}=-2.96N$

Finally, we sum both components to obtain the component of the resultant force:

$F_{Rx}=-4.31N-2.96N=-7.27N$

In words, the x component of the resultant force is -7.27N.

Which characeristic makes omasis different from diffusion.

Ksju [112]

haha I used to think biology was so hard, i find it quite easy now.
Okay, so basically Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Diffusion is generally the movement of a gradient from higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis applies to water only, whereas diffusion, you have many types such as Passive transport [ movement of molecules from high- low, NO CELLULAR ENERGY needed! ] then you have faciliated diffusion ( basically uses a channel protein to allow big substances to go through the membrane : NO ENERGY needed]
OSMOSIS, the important thing to remember is that water ALWAYS flow towards the region with the higher concentration of the solute (ex: Salt is solute, water is solvent) solute is the thing that is being dissolved. Solvent is the one doing the dissolving. Hope this helped!
