Answer: The Normal Force

Explanation:

According to Third Newton's Law, also konwn as The principle of action and reaction :

<em>"If a body A exerts an action on another body B, it performs on A another action that is the same and in the opposite direction."</em>

In this case this is what happens with the book on a table, gravity force pulls it downward, but the Normal Force (perpendicular to the surface of the table) acts in the opposite direction with the same magnitude, preventing the book from accelerating downward.

Answer: The support / normal force

Explanation: The force that prevents downward acceleration is the support force.

The force that acts on the book at rest balancing up the gravitational force is the normal force.

Water at 20oC flows through a long elliptical duct 30 cm wide and 22 cm high. What average velocity, in m/s, would cause the wei

mars1129 [50]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Fluid is water so, density $\rho = 1000 kg/m^{3}$

Weight flow rate = 500 lbf/s = 2224.11 N/sec

Cross-sectional area (A) = $\pi \times \frac{30}{2} \times \frac{22}{2}$

= 0.05184 $m^{2}$

Hence, weight flow rate will be given as follows.

w = $\rho \times g \times A \times V$

2224.11 N/sec = $\rho \times g \times A \times V$

V = $\frac{2224.11}{1000 \times 9.81 \times 0.05184}$ m/s

= 4.373 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that average velocity in the given case is 4.373 m/s.

Engines can overheat for many reasons. In general, it's because something's wrong within the cooling system and heat isn't able to escape the engine compartment. The source of the issue could include a cooling system leak, faulty radiator fan, broken water pump, or clogged coolant hose.

Hope it helps! Have a nice day or night!

There is a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B, pervading all space, perpendicular to the plane of rod and rails. The rod is r

Charra [1.4K]

The right hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.

The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.

The magnetic force is given by the vector product of the velocity and the magnetic field.

F = q v x B

Where the bolds indicate vectors, F is the force, q the charge on the particle, v the velocity and B the magnetic field.

In the vector product, the vectors are perpendicular, which is why the right-hand rule has been established, see attached:

The thumb points in the direction of speed.

Fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field.

The palm is in the direction of the force if the charge is positive and in the opposite direction if the charge is negative.

They indicate that the bar is dropped, therefore its speed is vertical and downwards, it moves to the left therefore this is the direction of the force, we use the right hand rule, the magnetic field must be horizontal, we have two possibilities:

If the charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.

If the charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is, horizontal away from us

In conclusion using the right hand rule we can find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.

The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.
