Every force has an equal but opposite reaction, the forces are balanced out on the brick.

Weight (mg) acts downwards from the brick but the normal contact force from the table is acting upwards therefore resultant force is 0N equilibrium

You know the direction of the force is based upon the resultant force, so if you were to push the brick horizontally across the table it would travel horizontally

Give an example in which a small force exerts a large torque. give another example in which a large force exerts a small torque.

goldenfox [79]

<span>Since the torque involves the product of force times lever arm, a small force can exert a greater torque than a larger force if the small force has a large enough lever arm.

With a large force exerts a small torque is a gate, hinged in its vertical line (axis). When pushed from a point near to the hinge, a very large amount is needed to open the gate.

A 2kg hockey puck is sliding across the ice skating rink at 2 m/s. A player hits the puck so it's velocity increases to 10 m/s.

konstantin123 [22]

The work done on the puck is 96 J

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the hockey puck is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the puck.

Mathematically:

$W=K_f -K_i= \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ is the final kinetic energy of the puck, with

m = 2 kg being the mass of the puck

v = 10 m/s is the final speed

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}mu^2$ is the initial kinetic energy of the puck, with

u = 2 m/s being the initial speed of the puck

Substituting numbers into the equation, we find the work done by the player on the puck:

$W=\frac{1}{2}(2)(10)^2 - \frac{1}{2}(2)(2)^2=96 J$

which of the following statements describes the formation of acid rain?...A. acid rain forms from human activities and lowers th

olga_2 [115]

The correct answer is A. Acid rain forms from human activities and lowers the pH of rainwater below 7

Explanation:

The term "acid rain" is used to refer to rainwater with a low pH or a high acidity, this includes rainwater with a pH below 7 (solutions with a pH under 7 are acidic). In terms of formation, acid rain is mainly the result of human activities such as factories or cars that release pollutants into the atmosphere including nitric and sulfuric acids and these alter the natural pH of rain and makes it more acidic. Additionally, acid rain has negative consequences such as the death of fishes and other organisms in lakes, rivers, etc. because the acidity is toxic to many organisms. Thus, acid rain is the result of human activities and it lowers the pH of rain (Option A).

Suppose there is a sample of xenon in a sealed rectangular container. The gas exerts a total force of 6.05 N perpendicular to on

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pressure is defines as force exerts by a body per its unit area.

Pressure = Force/Area

Given the total force exerted by the gas = 6.05N

Area of the rectangular container = 0.121 m * 0.201 m = 0.024321m²

Pressure of the sample = 6.05/0.02432

Pressure of the sample = 0.147136N/m²
