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:-

• Earth's Gravitational force of attraction- 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.

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

• Frictional Force- 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.

Location- Opposite of exerted force in all directions

A rubber bullet of mass m=0.025\,\mathrm{kg}m=0.025kg traveling at velocity v_0 = 50\,\mathrm{m/s}v 0 =50m/s hits an iron bloc

Pavel [41]

Answer: 0.001 m

Explanation:

In order to get the máximum height reached by the iron block, we can use the energy conservation principle, as all the kinetic energy impressed upon the iron blck by the rubber bullet during the collision, becomes gravitational potential energy, as follows:

½ m v2 = m. g. h (1)

We don´t know the value of v, but if we look to the collision, and we asume no external forces act during it, the total momentum must be conserved.

The initial momentum, as the block is at rest, is just the one due to the rubber bullet:

P1 = mb . vb = 0.025 kg. 50 m/s = 1.25 kg. m/s

The final momemtum, is just the sum of the one due to the bullet (after being bounced back) and the one for the iron block:

P2 = mb . vfb + mib . vib= 0.025 Kg. (-35 m/s) + 15 Kg.vib

As we have already said, P1 = P2, so we can write the following equation:

0.025 Kg. (-35 m/s) + 15 Kg. vib = 1.25 Kg. m/s.

Solving for vib, we have:

vib = 0.14 m/s

Now, we can replace this value in the equation (1) above:

½ . 15 Kg. (0.14)2 (m/s)2 = 15 Kg. 9.8 m/s2. H

Solving for H, we have:

H = 0.001 m

What is empirical evidence and what's is it not

ladessa [460]

Empirical evidence is information acquired by observation or experimentation. This data is recorded and analyzed by scientists and is a central process as part of the scientific method.
As example of not empirical evidence:
Language, letters, words, truths, numbers, logic, mathematics, on and on.
All of these things do not have empirical existence. They exist only in the mind.

Explain the difference between what Isaac Newton and Louis de Broglie would have to say about the momentum of a particle that is

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Newton would resort to the classical mechanics and say that the momentum of the particle that is moving with a constant velocity will be given by: momentum = mass x velocity

this approach will highlight the particle nature and will not be relativistic.

De-Broglie will say that the momentum of the particle is related to its associated matter wave and the relation between them is given by:

$p = \frac{h}{\lambda}$

where \lambda = wavelength of the matter wave associated to the particle, h = planck's constant

and $p = \gamma\times mv$

thus, this highlights the wave nature of the particle and is also relativistic.
