Answer: C. -12 newtons

Explanation: Since, the block is in static equilibrium,

the net force on the block is zero i.e. balance forces are acting on the block.

In the horizontal direction,

force applied+force due to friction = 0

20 N + (-20N) = 0

In the vertical direction as well, net force is zero:

Force due to gravity + force exerted by the ground = 0

12 N + force exerted by the ground = 0

⇒force exerted by the ground = 0 -12 N = -12 N

Thus, the correct option is C. -12 N where negative sign means that the direction of the force due to ground is opposite to the force of gravity.

An example of a hypothesis for an experiment might be: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step one would be to make an observation... “hey, my b-ball doesn’t have much air in it, and it isn’t bouncing ver high”

Step two is to form your hypothesis: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step three is to test your hypothesis: maybe you want to drop the ball from a certain height, deflate it by some amount and then drop it from that same height again, and record how high the ball bounced each time.


Here the independent variable is how much air is in the basketball (what you want to change) and the dependent variable is how high the b-ball will bounce (what will change as a result of the independent variable)

Step four is to record all of your results and step five is to analyze that data. Does your data support your hypothesis? Why or why not?

You should only test one variable at a time because it is easier to tell why the results are how they are; you only have one cause.

Hope this helps!
