The normal reaction of the boy of mass 70 kg is 826 N.

Let us understand about normal reaction.

The force exerted by a surface on an object in contact with it which prevents the object from passing through the surface is called Normal reaction.

To calculate the normal reaction, we use the formula below.

Formula:

N = mg+m(v-u)/t.......... Equation 1

Where:

N = Normal reaction

m = Mass of the person

g = Acceleration due to gravity

v = Final Velocity

u = Initial velocity

t = Time

From the question,

Given:

m = 70 kg

v = 4 m/s

u = 0 m/s

t = 2 s

g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

N = (70×9.8)+70(4-0)/2

N = 686+140

N = 826 N

Hence, the normal reaction of the boy is 826 N.

What cells in the nervous signals travel through the nervous system
kirill115 [55]

Answer:Although the nervous system is very complex, nervous tissue consists of just two basic types of nerve cells: neurons and glial cells Neurons are the structural and functional units of the nervous system They transmit electrical signals, called nerve impulses. Glial cells provide support for neurons.

How are Newton’s second and third laws of motion important to your everyday life?
Rasek [7]
Well, first off, Newtons second law of motion <span>deals with the motion of accelerating and decelerating objects.
 W</span>e already know that from everyday life examples such as simply pushing a car that if 2 people push a car on a flat road it will accelerate faster than if one person was pushing it... Therefore, there is a relationship between the size of the force and the acceleration.  
 Now onto the third law of motion. First of all, what is the third law of motion? Well, a force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. Forces result from interactions! According to Newtons third law, whenever one object, and another object interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."  The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. So, how is this important to everyday life you may ask? 
<span>Well, the action-reaction force pairs are found everywhere in your body.
 For example, right now as I am typing, my tendons are exerting forces on bones, and those bones exert reaction forces on the tendons, as muscles contract, pulling my fingers on the keys. I press on those keys, and they press back on my fingers. See? Since i'm pressing on the keys, the press back on me. Its opposite from each other, as stated in the quite above. "</span><span>For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." </span>
