<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 />

It is estimated that uranium is relatively common in the earth's crust, occurring in amounts of 4 g / metric ton. A metric ton i

timama [110]

Answer:

The mass of Uranium present in a 1.2mg sample is $4.8 \cdot 10^{-6}\,mg$

Explanation:

The ration between Uranium mass and total sample mass is: $\frac{4g}{1000kg} =\frac{4g}{1000000g}=\frac{1}{250000}$

For a sample of mass 1.2 mg, the amount of uranium is:

$1.2\, mg \cdot \frac{1}{250000}=4.8 \cdot 10^{-6}\,mg$

A composite material is to be designed with epoxy (Em 3.5 GPa) and unidirectional fibers. The longitudinal elastic modulus of th

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Minimum elastic modulus of fiber = 455.64 GPa

Explanation:

Contents of composite material = Epoxy and Unidirectional fibers

Elastic modulus of epoxy = 3.5 GPa

Elastic modulus of composite material = 320 GPa

Volume fraction of fiber = 70 %

Volume fraction of epoxy = 100 - 70 = 30%

Elastic modulus of composite material = 3.5 x 0.3 + Elastic modulus of fiber x 0.7 = 320

0.7 x Elastic modulus of fiber = 320 - 1.05 = 318.95

Elastic modulus of fiber = 455.64 GPa

Minimum elastic modulus of fiber = 455.64 GPa

Radio telescopes beam radio waves into space. To calculate the speed of the radio waves in space, which information, if any, is

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

No more information is needed

Explanation:

Radio waves are electromagnetic energy, lower frequency forms of this type of energy that includes light and cosmic rays on the high frequency end that we are able to detect. So in free space (vacuum), radio waves travel at their fastest velocity, the “speed of light”. The reason for the quotation marks is because when light or radio waves are propagating through matter, we observe them traveling more slowly.
