<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 mass hanging from a spring oscillates with a period of 0.35 s. Suppose the mass and spring are swung in a horizontal circle, w

Annette [7]

Answer:

66 rpm

Explanation:

The period of oscillation is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac {m}{k}}$

$\frac {k}{m}=\frac {4\pi^{2}}{T^{2}}$ where T is time period of oscillation which is given as 0.35 s, k s spring constant and m is the mass of the object attached to the spring.

Also, net force is given by

Net force= $m\omega^{2} L$

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac {k\triangle L}{mL}}$ where $\triangle L$ is the elongation, L is original length, $\omega$ is the angular velocity

Substituting the equation of $\frac {k}{m}$ into the above we obtain

$\omega=\sqrt {\frac {4\pi^{2}\triangle L}{T^{2} L}}$

$\omega=\sqrt {4\pi^{2}\times 0.15L}{0.35^{2}\times L}}=6.952763\approx 6.95 rad/s$

$6.95\times\frac {60 s}{2\pi rad}\approx 66 rpm$

The correct is Reverberation. A reverberation is created when a sound or signal is reflected causing a large number of reflections to build up and then decay as the sound is absorbed by the surfaces of objects in the space – which could include furniture, people, and air.

faltersainse [42]

Answer: The volume of gas expands because of the decrease in pressure as he tries to exit the water body, therefore he must take necessary precaution.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature

ie P1VI=P2V2

A diver absorbs compressed nitrogen gas when he dives into the water body, As he ascends out of the water body having less pressure, the volume of nitrogen gas which he absorbs will tend to expand following Boyle's Law. Therefore a scuba driver should not rises quickly but slowly to the surface or else the expanding nitrogen gas can cause tiny bubbles in his blood and tissue to form together with joints pains and eventually cause decompression sickness needing medical attention.
