Answer:

It's A

Explanation:

As the waves progress through the medium, the particles they are made of move perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. The particles do not move with the wave. So waves transmit energy but not matter as they progress through a medium.

An object is at rest on the ground. The object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth. Which of the following pre
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

If the object is at rest, it means that no net force is exerted on it.

As the object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth, in order to be at rest, it must experience an upward force with the same magnitude as the gravitational force on the object.

This force is supplied by the normal force, which can adopt any value in order to meet the condition imposed by Newton´s 2nd Law, and is always perpendicular to the surface on which the object is placed (in this case, the ground).

At a molecular level, this normal force is supplied by the bonded molecules of the ground that behave like small springs being compressed by the molecules of the object, exerting an upward restoring force upward on them.

So, the statements A) and B) are true.

A book with mass 2.3 kg sits on a table. What is the normal force on the
natita [175]

Explanation:

The table is level and there are no other forces on the book, so the normal force is equal to the weight.

N = mg

N = (2.3 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

N = 22.5 N
