There are three forces acting on the book.
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces
Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).
∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N
Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.
Answer:
4.71 eV
Explanation:
For an electromagnetic wave with wavelength

the energy of the photons in the wave is given by

where h is the Planck constant and c the speed of light. Therefore, this is the minimum energy that a photon should have in order to extract a photoelectron from the copper surface.
The work function of a metal is the minimum energy required by the incident light in order to extract photoelectrons from the metal's surface. Therefore, the work function corresponds to the energy we found previously. By converting it into electronvolts, we find:

Answer:
the magnitude of the average contact force exerted on the leg is 3466.98 N
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Initial velocity of hand v₀ = 5.25 m/s
final velocity of hand v = 0 m/s
time interval t = 2.65 ms = 0.00265 s
mass of hand m = 1.75 kg
We calculate force on the hand F
using equation for impulse in momentum
F
× t = m( v - v₀ )
we substitute
F
× 0.00265 = 1.75( 0 - 5.25 )
F
× 0.00265 = 1.75( - 5.25 )
F
× 0.00265 = -9.1875
F
= -9.1875 / 0.00265
F
= -3466.98 N
Next we determine force on the leg F
Using Newton's third law of motion
for every action, there is an equal opposite reaction;
so, F
= - F
we substitute
F
= - ( -3466.98 N )
F
= 3466.98 N
Therefore, the magnitude of the average contact force exerted on the leg is 3466.98 N
