Normal is the  other half of an action-reaction pair

If a person is sitting on a chair , there must be a gravitation force acting in downward direction which is equal to the weight of that person . That means the person is exerting a force on the chair equal to its weight . But the person is not falling down the chair , because of newtons third law of motion .

There must be a counter force which is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the person on the chair , in order to make net force equal to zero and to make that man in stationary state ( no movement )  .That force is called Normal force which is been acted by the chair on the person .This implies Normal is the  other half of an action-reaction pair

A graph of acceleration against force
enot [183]

The equation of the graph is

                 Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

The graph is a straight line that passes through the origin,
and its slope is the mass of the object being studied.

Is an imaginary "line" from the earth to the moon a line, a ray, or a segment? Why?
igomit [66]

Answer;

- Line segment

Explanation;

"from earth to moon" implies endpoints at both locations and it is thus a line segment

A line extends forever in both directions, a line segment is just part of a line. It has two endpoints, and a ray starts at one point and continues on forever in one direction.

The total resistance of the circuit <br>​
ZanzabumX [31]

The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of individual resistances. Voltage applied to a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltage drops. The voltage drop across a resistor in a series circuit is directly proportional to the size of the resistor.

If you know the total current and the voltage across the whole circuit, you can find the total resistance using Ohm's Law: R = V / I. For example, a parallel circuit has a voltage of 9 volts and total current of 3 amps. The total resistance RT = 9 volts / 3 amps = 3 Ω

Current: The total circuit current is equal to the sum of the individual branch currents. Resistance: Individual resistances diminish to equal a smaller total resistance rather than add to make the total.
