In case of an object sitting at rest on another base, there are two equal and opposite forces – Normal force and the gravity.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

When an object is placed at rest position on another object, there is a force exerted by the surfaces of the two contact objects. This force is denoted as Normal Force.

When an object such as a box is placed on a shelf, its surface exerts a contact force on the base of the shelf- The Normal force directed upward. Meanwhile, the gravity stays at its action and tries to pull the box towards itself.  

Both of these forces however are equal and opposite and therefore, there is zero net force on the box. That's why it remains at rest, holding on Newton's third law.

How could a plant control turgor pressure?
Nata [24]
The pressure inside the plant cell is turgor pressure and it is  also controlled  by osmosis which is movement of molecule from higher to lower concentration across a membrane that is selectively permeable
The opening and closing of stomata also control turgor pressure

A girl is sitting in a sled sliding horizontally along some snow (there is friction present).
Over [174]

Answer:

159 N

Explanation:

The force of friction, Fr is a product of coefficient of feiction and the normal force. Therefore, Fr=uN where N is the normal force and u is coefficient of friction. Here, we have two coefficients of friction but since it is sliding, then we use coefficient of kinetic energy. Substituting 0.25 for u and 636 N for N then

Fr=0.25*636=159 N

Therefore, the force of friction is equivalent to 159 N
