Consider a girl that has a mass of 55.0 kg and is standing on the floor, how much supporting force does the floor have?

-- The girl's mass is 55 kg.

-- Her weight is (m·g) = (55 kg)·(9.8 m/s²) = 539 N .

-- The downward force on the bottom layer of atoms on the soles of her shoes is 539 N.

-- The 'supporting' force of the floor on those same atoms must be <em>EXACTLY 539 N upward</em>, resulting in a NET force of zero.

-- If the upward force of the floor is not exactly equal to her weight, then the NET force on the bottom of her feet is not zero, and the bottom of her feet must be accelerating, either up or down.  

In order for the bottom of her feet to remain connected to the rest of her, the entire girl must likewise be accelerating vertically.

If she is NOT, then we know that the net force on the bottom of her feet is zero, and the upward supporting force of the floor must be exactly equal to her weight.

We could have realized this immediately if we trusted Newton, who told us long ago that every action produces an <u><em>equal and opposite</em></u> reaction.

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Laser helps in zooming an image on which it is directed or falls so that it becomes easier for a large population to understand what the teacher or guide is talking about.

For example, when Greg is giving slide show presentation to a large audience then in order to make his slides visualized by everyone in the room he uses laser.

Therefore, we can conclude that a laser best help him with the presentation as he can use the laser to enlarge images on the slides.

A small metal ball is given a negative charge, then brought near to end a of the rod (figure 1). What happens to end a of the ro
erma4kov [3.2K]

What happens to end a of the rod when the ball approaches it closely this first time is; It is strongly attracted.

<h3>Electrostatics</h3>

I have attached the image of the rod.

We are told that the ball is much closer to the end of the rod than the length of the rod. Thus, if we point down the rod several times, the distance of approach will experience no electric field and as such the charge on end point A of the rod must be comparable in magnitude to the charge on the ball.

This means that their fields will cancel.

Finally, we can conclude that when a charge is brought close to a conductor, the opposite charges will all navigate to the point that is closest to the charge and as a result, a strong attraction will be created.

This also applies to a strong conducting rod and therefore it is strongly attracted.
