Can the normal force on an object be directed horizontally?

Physics
1 answer:
babunello [35]3 years ago
7 0

For this case, the first thing you should do is take into account the definition of normal force.

By definition, we have:

  • <em>The normal force is that which is exerted on an object that is perpendicular to the surface. </em>

If we define the coordinate system as:

  1. <em>Horizontal axis points to the right </em>
  2. <em>Vertical axis points up </em>

Then An object resting on a wall can have normal force in a horizontal direction.

Answer:

The normal force is perpendicular to the surface. The direction can be horizontal. Example: an object on a wall.

an object has a mass of 50kg, a final height of 20m and an initial height of 8m. what is the amount of work done
Andrei [34K]

amount of work done is 5880 J

Given:

mass of object = 50kg

Final height = 20m

initial height = 8m

To Find:

amount of work done

Solution:

work is done when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement. You can calculate the energy transferred, or work done, by multiplying the force by the distance moved in the direction of the force.

The work done by gravity is given by the formula,

W = mgh

W = 50 x 9.8 x ( 20-8)

= 5880 J

So the work done is 5880 J

Is the acceleration due to gravity in projectile motion always negative? please explain
umka21 [38]
Before you start working on any motion problem, YOU decide which direction you're going to call 'positive'. Everybody almost always calls UP positive, and the acceleration of gravity points down, so it winds up negative. But you could just as well call DOWN the positive direction. Then, the cannonball is fired with a negative vertical speed, and the acceleration of gravity eventually robs all of its negative speed, and makes it start falling in the positive direction. The whole thing is your choice.
