Read each scenario below. Then select the answer that best completes each sentence.

If the products have three nitrogen atoms, the reactants must have had the same quantity, as mass is conserved in a chemical reaction.

Answer:

2.5 m

Explanation:

Billboard worker's weight = 800 N

Number of ropes = 2

Length of scaffold = 4 m

Weight of scaffold = 500 N

Tension present in rope = 550 N

The total torques will be

The worker is positioned at 2.5 m

Answer:

130 m/s (to two significant figures)

Explanation:

In projectile motion, the launching velocity and launch angle help to determine both the horizontal and vertical velocity components.

u represents the initial projectile velocity = 150 m/s

uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s

uᵧ = u sin θ = 150 sin 30° = 75.0 m/s

A projectile's motion can be viewed as made up of independent vertical and horizontal elements.

The vertical motion is affected by gravitational acceleration (which pulls down on the projectile), altering the vertical velocity component due to this acting force.

Conversely, there is no acting force in the horizontal direction, which means the horizontal component maintains a steady velocity throughout the projectile's flight.

Thus, at t = 4 s, the horizontal component of the projectile's speed remains equal to the initial horizontal velocity component.

At t = 4 s, the horizontal component of velocity is uₓ = u cos θ = 150 cos 30° = 129.9 m/s ≈ 130 m/s

Answer:

the maximum static friction force of the wall acting on the book (Increasing)

the normal force of the wall acting on the book (Decreasing)

the weight of the book (Constant)

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion:

"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction"

In the scenario provided, Albert is pressing the book against the wall and subsequently decreases the force applied against the wall.

Let's evaluate all forces influencing the book in this situation.

1. Weight of the book acting downwards (y-axis)

2. Friction from the book against the wall acting upwards (y-axis)

3. Albert’s force exerted on the book against the wall (x-axis)

4. Normal force of the wall reacting to Albert’s applied force (x-axis)

As Albert eases off his force, the new scenario reads:

1. The weight remains constant as represented by W = mg

Since neither mass nor gravitational acceleration has changed, the weight exerted on the book remains the same.

2. As Albert reduces his force, the wall’s normal reaction force decreases correspondingly, following Newton's third law of motion.

3. Friction operates in response to the force applied to it. With a box resting on the floor, no friction acts upon it until it is dragged, at which point friction begins to manifest and rise until it reaches its maximum. Therefore, when Albert diminishes his force, the weight's pull will influence the book and the maximum static friction will rise to resist the book’s downward movement.

It should be noted that the maximum static friction is working to prevent movement of the book. With Albert's force reduced, but the weight of the book unchanged, maximum static friction increases to prevent downward movement.
