when a book falls from a shelf to the ground without anyone pushing on it, no work is done to the book. True or False

Physics
1 answer:
VikaD [51]3 years ago

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 train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 94.0 km/h to 46.0 km/h in the 17.0 s that it takes to round
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

1.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert the two speeds from km/h to m/s:

u = 94.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h} = 26.1 m/s

v=46.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=12.8 m/s

Now we find the centripetal acceleration which is given by

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v = 12.8 m/s is the speed

r = 140 m is the radius of the curve

Substituting values, we find

a_c=\frac{(12.8 m/s)^2}{140 m}=1.17 m/s^2

we also have a tangential acceleration, which is given by

a_t = \frac{v-u}{t}

where

t = 17.0 s

Substituting values,

a_t=\frac{12.8 m/s-26.1 m/s}{17.0 s}=-0.78 m/s^2

The two components of the acceleration are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the resultant acceleration by using Pythagorean theorem:

a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}=\sqrt{(1.17 m/s^2)+(-0.78 m/s^2)}=1.41 m/s^2

When sound is created it travels to the car through a
Rasek [7]

A sound wave is a longitudinal wave caused by vibrations and carried through a substance. The particles of the substance, such as air particles, vibrate back and forth along the path that the sound waves travel. Sound is transmitted through the vibrations and collisions of the particles.

This could maybe help you with your answer.

What process is occurring in the picture?
Alex777 [14]

Two fat black arrows are swimming along together, when they see a single skinny black arrow coming toward them. They are afraid of strangers, and they know that the skinny one must be mean and tough if it's not afraid to travel alone. So they turn to the side and get out of the skinny arrow's way.

Which of the following statements about Gaussʹs law are correct? (There may be more than one correct choice.) Question 3 options
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface.

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because, given this case, it is easier to calculate the field.

Option B is incorrect because, in a situation where the surface is placed inside a uniform field, option B is violated

Option C is also incorrect because it is possible to be a field from outside charges, but there will be an absence of net flux through the surface from these.

Hence, option D is the correct answer. "If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface."
