An object is at rest on the ground. The object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth. Which of the following pre

dictions is correct about why the object does not accelerate downward? Select two answers. Justify your selections.A) The bonded molecules of the object are repelled upward by the bonded molecules of the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the object.B)The normal force is exerted upward on the object from the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the objectC) The bonded molecules of the object are attracted downward by the bonded molecules of the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the object.D) The force of friction is exerted upward on the object from the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the object.

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

If the object is at rest, it means that no net force is exerted on it.

As the object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth, in order to be at rest, it must experience an upward force with the same magnitude as the gravitational force on the object.

This force is supplied by the normal force, which can adopt any value in order to meet the condition imposed by Newton´s 2nd Law, and is always perpendicular to the surface on which the object is placed (in this case, the ground).

At a molecular level, this normal force is supplied by the bonded molecules of the ground that behave like small springs being compressed by the molecules of the object, exerting an upward restoring force upward on them.

So, the statements A) and B) are true.

Answer:

The bonded molecules of the object are repelled upward by the bonded molecules of the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the object.

The normal force is exerted upward on the object from the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the object.

Urban cities like Atlanta have to contend with a serious problem like pollution. Drivers in California are testing out a car tha
riadik2000 [5.3K]

1. With this statement, the author is referring to the fact that the vehicles are one of the largest polluters of the air. In order to reduce the pollution, the vehicles that are used will need to be changed, and with it the pollution will decrease significantly. The reduction of the pollution will come because the vehicles on hydrogen will not cause any pollution, so the enormous amounts of carbon dioxide released from the combustion of the engines will be thing of the past.

2. There are several challenges with this type of vehicles in order for them to replace the fossil fuel driven ones. The big price is one of the factors, as the majority of the people can not afford these cars. Another problem is that these vehicles are not as fast as the fossil fuel driven ones, and lot of people enjoy fast driving, despite it not being safe. There are millions of vehicles out there on the roads, and changing all of them with hydrogen vehicles will take a lot of time, as lot of those vehicles are new ones, so the people will not be willing to just throw them away and leave them rot in their garages. In order for the change of the driving park to be accomplished, the prices should go down, the people to be more serious about the environment and its protection, and patience as several decades will probably be needed for a change like this to be competed.

3. The fuel celled cars are a viable answer to decrease the pollution, as they are not causing any pollution, but instead will stop the process of large emissions of carbon dioxide from the fossil fueled cars. While this method is a good one, it should not be the only, as on its own it can not have the desirable effect, but instead all the major polluters should be included in the process. The industry and the production of energy are one of the major polluters as well, so they will need to follow the example, as if they not, the problem will stay, considering that the industry is constantly growing and the demand for energy is constantly growing too.

How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools down from 71'c to 18'c?
maria [59]
The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference \Delta T is
Q=mC_s \Delta T
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
C_s = 4.18 J/g^{\circ}C is the specific heat capacity of water
\Delta T =71^{\circ}C-18^{\circ}C=53^{\circ} is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
Q=(432 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(53^{\circ}C)=9.57 \cdot 10^4 J
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.

A tennis player serves a tennis ball such that it is moving horizontally when it leaves the racquet. When the ball travels a hor
nalin [4]

Answer:

u_x=38.13\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that initially ball moves in the horizontal direction ,it means that the velocity in the vertical direction is zero.

Horizontal distance = 13 m

Vertical distance = 57 cm

Lets take time to cover 57 cm distance in vertical direction is t.

We know that g is the constant acceleration in the vertical direction so we can apply the equation of motion in the vertical direction.

S=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Here u_y=0

S= 57 cm

0.57=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2

t=0.34 s

Now in the horizontal direction

x=u_xt

Here x=13 m

t= 0.34 s

So

13=u_x\times 0.34

u_x=38.13\ m/s

So the initial speed of ball is 38.13 m/s.
