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

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Incomplete question

Complete question:

a constant force acts upon an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain constant force acts upon an object with mass 44kg , the acceleration of the object is 4m/s². If the same force acts upon another object whose mass is 11kg what is this object's acceleration?

Answer: 8m/s²

Explanation:

From the statement we deduced that acceleration varies inversely with mass where force was kept constant.

Therefore,

F/m = a or F = ma

For the first statement, substituting the mass and acceleration gives:

F = 44 x 4 = 88N

Applying the force above to the second mass gives us:

a = 88/11 = 8m/s²

A 1kg skateboard sits at the top of a ramp 20 fr off the ground . How much potential energy does it have ?
Finger [1]

Answer:

196J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of skateboard  = 1kg

Height off the ground  = 20m

Unknown:

Potential energy  = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body above the ground.

It is mathematically expressed as:

      Potential energy  = mass x acceleration due gravity x height

     Potential energy  = 1 x 9.8 x 20  = 196J
