<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct option is </u><u>A. perpendicular</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In Physics, the normal force is the component of a contact force that is perpendicular to the surface that an object contacts. It is the support force exerted upon an object that is in contact with another stable object. Normal Force will be always acting opposite to the force falling on the surface. For example, if a book is resting upon a surface, then the surface is exerting an upward force upon the book in order to support the weight of the book.

The normal force is always (underline, bold) is always perpendicular to the surface an object is sitting on. If the object is on an inclined plane, then the normal will not be vertical but it will be perpendicular to the angle of the incline.

The diagram below (left) shows a normal force (GH) that is not vertical, but it is perpendicular to the surface. The object on the right is the more usual normal a mass on a table top.

The vertical line on the right is the normal and it points up.

A 12000 kg boat is moving 4.25 m/s. Its engine pushes 9200 N forward, but the current pushes back at 12,500 N. How much times do

Verizon [17]

Answer:

15.5 seconds

Explanation:

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

-12500 + 9200 = (12000) a

a = -0.275 m/s²

v = at + v₀

0 = (-0.275) t + 4.25

t = 15.5 s

It takes the boat 15.5 seconds to stop.

Explain why the types of technology valued can vary.

Elan Coil [88]

Over time, the types of technology can vary and be improved upon so that more advanced techniques become more valued. This could be the situation with mining whereby back in the 1500's in underground mines the rock was broken by fire setting ie lighting a fire below the rock face to heat up the rock and then throwing cold water on it to crack it, so that it could be dug by hand. With the advent of explosives, this all changed so that the rock could be blasted. The increase in advance rates for an underground heading have thus gone from 5-20 feet per month to up to 300meters (984 ft) per month for a 24/7 mining operation, which is a huge improvement.

A cruise ship sails due south at 2.00 m/s while a coast guard patrol boat heads 19.0° north of east at 5.60 m/s. What are the x-

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat is -5.29 m/s and 0.18 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of ship = 2.00 m/s due south

Velocity of boat = 5.60 m/s due north

Angle = 19.0°
