Answer: the force exerted by the book on the earth

Hoochie [10]2 years ago

Answer:

1. The force of the shelf holding the book up.

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the book is as follows:

1 - The weight of the book towards downwards

2 - The normal force that the shelf exerts on the book towards upwards.

Since the book is at rest, these two forces are equal to each other and according to Newton's Third Law the reaction force to the force of gravity is equal but opposite to the weight of the book. This reaction force is the one that holds the book up on the shelf.

An object initially at rest experiences a constant horizontal acceleration due to the action of a resultant force applied for 10
Marianna [84]

Answer:

a = 18.28 ft/s²

Explanation:

given,

time of force application, t= 10 s

Work = 10 Btu

mass of the object = 15 lb

acceleration, a =  ? ft/s²

1 btu = 778.15 ft.lbf

10 btu = 7781.5 ft.lbf

m = \dfrac{15}{32.174}\ slug

m = 0.466 slug

now,

work done  is equal to change in kinetic energy

W = \dfrac{1}{2} m (v_f^2-v_i^2)

7781.5 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.466\times v_f^2

 v_f = 182.75\ ft/s

now, acceleration of object

  a = \dfrac{v_f-v_o}{t}

  a = \dfrac{182.75-0}{10}

         a = 18.28 ft/s²

constant acceleration of the object is equal to 18.28 ft/s²

Suppose you are measuring the height of a small child. What will determine the number if significant digits you record?
slega [8]

The number of significant digits of any measurement is determined by the instrument used for such measurement. For example, in this case, we have the height of a small child being measured. We can use a simple ruler for this, and we see that a ruler has ten divisions for 1 cm. This means that the ruler cannot measure beyond the size of 0.1 cm or 1 mm. Hence, when we report the height of the small child, we report it to one significant digit after the decimal place. As an example, if we measure a child's height to be 90 full cm divisions and 8 smaller divisions, we report it as 90.8 cm but not 90.83 or 90.86 cm.

1) A capacitor consists of two metal surfaces separated by an electrical insulator with no electrically conductive path through
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Current flows in a resistor-capacitor circuit because of the varying electric field across the plates of a capacitor induced by an AC voltage source <em>(displacement current)</em>

Explanation:

In a capacitor, current does not flow the same way it does in a circuit, that is through conduction. This is because there is a highly resistive material in between the plates of the capacitor. Rather current flows through a phenomenon called displacement current.

Because of change in charge accumulation with time above the plates, the electric field changes causing the displacement current.

Displacement current arises due to the flow of electrons as a result of the varying magnetic fields set up on the plates of the capacitor when supplied with an AC voltage. It is important to note that a DC voltage does not induce any displacement current.

<em>Through this, phenomenon discovered by Maxwell,  current is able to flow in a resistor-capacitor circuit despite the absence of an electrically conductive path through the plates.</em>

A police siren of frequency fsiren is attached to a vibrating platform. The platform and siren oscillate up and down in simple h
babunello [35]

Answer:

he maximum frequency occurs when the denominator is minimum

 f’= f₀  \frac{343}{343 + v_s}

Explanation:

This is a doppler effect exercise, where the sound source is moving

           f = fo \frac{v}{v-v)s}      when the source moves towards the observer

           f ’=f_o  \frac{v}{v+v_{sy}}  Alexandrian source of the observer

the maximum frequency occurs when the denominator is minimum, for both it is the point of maximum approach of the two objects

          f’= f₀  \frac{343}{343 + v_s}
