<span>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. </span>

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.  <span />

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

A) 17.7 m/s

B) 15.98 m

C) Zero

E) 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

given information

distance, h = - 34 m

time, t = 5 s

A) What is the initial speed of the egg?

h - h₀ = v₀t - \frac{1}{2} gt², h₀ = 0

- 34 = v₀ 5 - \frac{1}{2} 9.8 5²

- 34 = 5 v₀ - 122.5

v₀ = 122.5 - 34/5

    = 17.7 m/s

B) How high does it rise above its starting point?

v² = v₀² - 2gh

v = 0 (highest point)

2gh = v₀²

h = v₀²/2g

  = 17.7²/2 (9.8)

  = 15.98 m

C) What is the magnitude of its velocity at the highest point?

v = 0 (at highest point)

E) What are the magnitude and direction of its acceleration at the highest point?

g= 9.8 m/s², since the egg is moved vertically, the acceleration is the same as the gravitational acceleration.

A rebuttal that Rousseau would use to counter the King’s argument?
ankoles [38]

Is this your Question:

Read the hypothetical situation below and answer the question that follows.

In response to criticisms that the King of Mordor has failed to gain the consent of his people, the King claims that he does in fact represent the consent of the people because without their King, society would crumble into chaos.

Which statement BEST represents a rebuttal that Rousseau would use to counter the King's argument?

A. Absolute chaos is preferable to the absolute power of the King.

B. The King of Mordor should establish a system of checks and balances.

C. If the King of Mordor were to represent the will of his people, then he would at least provide the public services demanded by his people.

D. It is impossible for the King of Mordor to have the consent of the people because the monarchy is not a freely formed government in which the people have a say in how it operates.

If this is your question.. Here is your Answer:

Answer:  D. It is impossible for the King of Mordor to have the consent of the people because the monarchy is not a freely formed government in which the people have a say in how it operates.

Explanation:

Rousseau believed that sovereignty (the power to make laws) belonged to the people, not one person, and that it should be carried out by a representative body of the people who are elected by them on their behalf. While he agreed society requires a ruler(s), he thinks they should be chosen by the people.

A meteor moving through outer space continues to move on the same path until an outside force acts on it
Fittoniya [83]

Newton stated 3 laws that rules moving bodies:

First law - an object remains in its state (resting or moving at constant speed) unless acted upon a force

Second law - the force (F) of an object is equal to its mass (m) multiplied by its acceleration (a); F = m x a

Third law - when an object exerts a force upon another, the second object exerts a force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction

So, according to the First Law of Motion, the metor moving through outer space will continues its motion until an outside force acts upon it
