BaLLatris [955]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

There are two forces acting upon the book. One force - the Earth's gravitational pull - exerts a downward force. The other force - the push of the table on the book (sometimes referred to as a normal force) - pushes upward on the book.

There are mainly 3 forces which acts on a book.

Listed below are the forces and their points:-

• <u>Earth's Gravitational force of attraction</u>- Usually, we may not consider or notice this force, but when a book falls, we understand this, because the book falls due to this gravitational force.

• <u>Force exerted on book while pushing it</u>- While we push a book, we apply Push Force, due to which the book moves on the pushing it on a table.

• <u>Frict</u><u>ional</u><u> </u><u>Force</u>- We notice that while pushing a book, it does not continuously move in motion. At a certain distance, this Frictional force increases and therefore, the book comes to a halt.

<em>Location-</em> <em>Opposite of exerted force in all directions</em>

The 68-kg crate is stationary when the force P is applied. Determine the resulting acceleration of the crate if (a) P = 0, (b) P
bogdanovich [222]

Explanation:

Mass of the crate, m = 68 kg

We need to find the resulting acceleration if :

(a) Force, P = 0

P = m a

⇒ a = 0

(b) P = 181 N

a=\dfrac{P}{m}

a=\dfrac{181\ N}{68\ kg}

a=2.67\ m/s^2

(c) P = 352 N

a=\dfrac{P}{m}

a=\dfrac{352\ N}{68\ kg}

a=5.17\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all __________ waves because they __________.
algol [13]

Answer:

a. mechanical; require a medium to travel through

Explanation:

Longitudinal, transverse and surface waves are types of mechanical waves. For example, within the longitudinal waves are the sound waves, which needs a medium to propagate like the air. This is why sound does not travel in a vacuum.

And an example of a transverse wave is the waves that form in the water when a rock is thrown (ripples), these waves need a medium (the water) to propagate.

On the other hand, electromagnetic waves such as light waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is why we can see the light of distant stars because their light travels through the vacuum until it reaches us.

So, the answer is:

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all mechanical waves because they require a medium to travel through .
