Answer: The Normal Force

Explanation:

According to Third Newton's Law,  also konwn as The principle of action and reaction :

<em>"If a body A exerts an action on another body B, it performs on A another action that is the same and in the opposite direction."</em>

In this case this is what happens with the book on a table,  gravity force pulls it downward, but the Normal Force (perpendicular to the surface of the table) acts in the opposite direction with the same magnitude, preventing the book from accelerating downward.

Answer: The support / normal force

Explanation: The force that prevents downward acceleration is the support force.

The force that acts on the book at rest balancing up the gravitational force is the normal force.

Explanation:

potential energy =360800J

mass(m)=?

height (h)=25m

g=9.8m/s²

we have

potential energy =360800J

mgh=360800J

m×9.8×25=360800

m=360800/(9.8×25)=1472.653061kg

12) A neutral atom has two, eight, eight electrons in its first, second, and third energy levels.This information ________.
pentagon [3]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Option C

The information given in the question tells us about the number of electrons in an atom and also the number of shells in the atom. So, we will come to know about the atomic number, size and chemical properties of the atom. But we cannot determine atomic mass. Atomic mass is a function of number of neutrons and protons.

What information do we know about the known exoplanets? a. estimates of orbits and masses b. complete composition c. precise mas
LenKa [72]

<em>The correct option is </em><em>A</em>. The information we know about the known exoplanets is estimates of orbits and masses.

<h3>What is exoplanets?</h3>

An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System.

In other words, exoplanet is any planet beyond our solar system.

<h3>Characteristics of exoplanets</h3>

exoplanets are known for the following characteristics;

  • they are usually hot
  • they can orbit their stars so tightly that a “year” lasts only a few days
  • they can orbit two suns at once

Thus, the information we know about the known exoplanets is estimates of orbits and masses.
