That's false.

-- The force on the book is its weight.

-- The force acts through the distance the book falls.

-- The work done on the book is

(weight) x (length of the fall)

-- Gravity DOES the work.

A person slaps her leg with her hand, bringing her hand to rest in 2.50 milliseconds from an initial speed of 4.00 m/s.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

(a) 2400N

(b) Yes

Explanation:

(a) Mass (m) = 1.5kg, initial speed (v) = 4m/s, time (t) = 2.5milliseconds = 2.5/1000 = 0.0025seconds

F = mv/t = (1.5×4)/0.0025 = 6/0.0025 = 2400N

(b) The force would be different because the mass of the two hands and forearms is 3kg (2 × 1.5kg = 3kg)

What wave on the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer: Gamma rays

Gamma rays have the highest frequency.

What is an electromagnetic wave?

An electromagnetic wave requires no medium for its propagation.

It consists of a spectrum of different wavelengths.

Different wavelengths of rays have different energies and different frequencies.

Higher frequency rays have the highest energies.

What is gamma-ray?

These are ionized radiations.

Gamma radiations are obtained from the decay of the atomic nucleus.

It has the highest frequency which is why it can penetrate through matter.

It has the smallest wavelength and highest energy.

The frequency of gamma rays is more than 10^19 cycles per second and wavelength less than 100 picometers.

Lila is a track and field athlete. She must complete four laps around a circular track. The track itself is a 400 meter track an
fgiga [73]

Answer: 4.45m/s

Explanation:

I assume we're solving for her speed.

400m x 4 laps = 1600m

1600m / 6 minutes = 266.67m/min

(266.67m/min) x (1 minute/60 seconds) = 4.45m/s

266.67/60 = 4.45m/s

likoan [24]
If we neglet air resistance for both objects then both will fall parallely(at same time) because time taken by both objects is independent of mass. there is famous experiment i.e"feather coin experiment" . normally we think that heaver objects falls faster but this is wrong concept. it depends on medium in which objects are moving.

Why is it not advisable to touch a canvas tent from inside when it is raining?​
Sauron [17]

Answer: When you touch wet canvas, surface tension will draw water to your finger. However, the drop left behind where you touched, like any irregular point on an overhead surface, will draw condensation from inside the tent if it is humid.
