A 4kg book sits on a table and your pet hamster puts his front paws on the book and pushes down with a force of 3N. What is the

normal force?
Physics

There are three forces acting on the book. 
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.

Challenge! A marshmallow is dropped from a 5-meter high pedestrian bridge and 0.83 seconds later, it lands right on the head of
WINSTONCH [101]

a₀).  You know ...
         -- the object is dropped from 5 meters
             above the pavement;
         --  it falls for 0.83 second.

a₁).  Without being told, you assume ...
         -- there is no air anyplace where the marshmallow travels,
             so it free-falls, with no air resistance;
         -- the event is happening on Earth,
            where the acceleration of gravity is  9.81 m/s² .

b).  You need to find how much LESS than 5 meters
       the marshmallow falls in 0.83 second.
    
c).  You can use whatever equations you like.
       I'm going to use the equation for the distance an object falls in
       ' T ' seconds, in a place where the acceleration of gravity is ' G '.

d).  To see how this all goes together for the solution, keep reading:


The distance that an object falls in ' T ' seconds
when it's dropped from rest is

                                 (1/2 G) x (T²) .

On Earth, ' G ' is roughly  9.81 m/s², so in 0.83 seconds,
such an object would fall

                               (9.81 / 2) x (0.83)² = 3.38 meters .

It dropped from 5 meters above the pavement, but it
only fell 3.38 meters before something stopped it.
So it must have hit something that was

                         (5.00 - 3.38)  =  1.62 meters

above the pavement.  That's where the head of the unsuspecting
person was as he innocently walked by and got clobbered.

Two large parallel metal plates are 1.2 cm apart and have charges of equal magnitude but opposite signs on their facing surfaces
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

E=1100V/m

                                                                     

Explanation:

Given           required           <u>solution</u>

V=6.6v         E=?                   V=Ed ;    V is the potential difference between                                                              

d=D/2=1.2cm/2=0.6cm=0.006m             the   halfway                  

                                                               E is the electric field between the two                                                                              

                                                                       plates.

                                                              d is the distance between the halfway.

So we can use the above formula to calculate the electric field.

    V=Ed   from this E=V/d  substitute the values from the given equation.

E=6.6v/0.006m

E= 1100 v/m
