Concept explainers
A book sits on a tabletop. What force is the Newton’s third law pair to the force that Earth exerts on the book? Choose the correct answer with the best explanation.
a. The force that the table exerts on the book because it is equal and apposite in direction to the force that Earth exerts on the book
b. The force that the table exerts on the book because the table and the book are touching each other
c. The force that the table exerts on the book because it describes the same interaction
d. The force that the book exerts on Earth because it describes the same interaction
e. The force that the book exerts on Earth because it is equal and opposite in direction to the force that Earth exerts on the book

Cosmic Perspective Fundamentals
- Consider the circuit shown in the figure. The battery has emf ε = 69 volts and negligible internal resistance. The inductance is L = 0.4 H and the resistances are R 1 = 12 Ω and R 2 = 9.0 Ω. Initially the switch S is open and no currents flow. Then the switch is closed. After leaving the switch closed for a very long time, it is opened again. Just after it is opened, what is the current in R 1?arrow_forwardA capacitor with a capacitance of C = 5.95×10−5 F is charged by connecting it to a 12.5 −V battery. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery and connected across an inductor with an inductance of L = 1.55 H . At the time 2.35×10−2 s after the connection to the inductor is made, what is the current in the inductor? At that time, how much electrical energy is stored in the inductor?arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question. Thanks.arrow_forward
