I'm not sure about the magnitude, but the direction of the normal force is upward.

Magnitude : 25 N

Direction: upward

Explanation:

The weight of the book is 25 N and is directed downward: this is the force exerted by the book on the table.

As stated in Newton's third law, for every object A that exerts a force on an object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.

In this case, object A is the book and object B is the table. Based on Newton's third law, we can say that the table exerts an equal and opposite force on the book: therefore, the magnitude of the normal force is equal to the weight of the book (25 N), while the direction is opposite (so, upward).

Under what circumstances will a binary star produce a nova?
Oksana_A [137]
When a star uses up all of it's energy and begins to die, it swells up to become a red giant star. This causes its surface gravity to decrease, thereby allowing some of its mass to escape into space. A binary star is a pair of stars that orbit each other because of their gravitational attraction to each other. When one member of the binary pair uses up all of its energy and begins to die, it loses mass due to the reduction in surface gravity. But instead of escaping into space, this mass is attracted to the companion star because of its gravitational pull. That increases the mass of the companion star. In a process that takes thousands of years, enough matter is transfered that causes the temperature and pressure to increase sufficiently to result in nuclear fusion reactions on the companion star. When these nuclear reactions become extremely violent, the released nuclear energy increases the brightness of this companion star dramatically, thereby creating a nova. Therefore, it is the dying of one of the stars in a binary system along with a sufficient transfer of star mass to sustain nuclear reactions that results in a nova.

Verizon [17]
Using kinematic equation s=ut + 1/2 at^2(u = initial velocity=0, s=120m, t= 6.32s), 120 = 0(t) + 1/2 a(6.32)^2. a = 120x2/(6.32)^2 = 6m/s^2.

BRAINLIEST!! What did Robert Sternberg believe about intelligence?
Sindrei [870]
The triarchic theory of intelligence was formulated by Robert J. Sternberg, a prominent figure in the research of human intelligence. The theory by itself was groundbreaking in that it was among the first to go against the psychometric approach to intelligence and take a more cognitive approach
