Normal force is exerted _____to the surface of an object.
2 answers:
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.

Answer:
1 x 10¹⁷
Explanation:
Given data:
Radius of the earth = 6000km
Radius of an atom = 60pm
Now, how many orders is the radius of the earth larger than an atom
Solution:
To solve this problem, let us express both quantity as the same unit;
1000m = 1km
6000km = 6000 x 10³m = 6 x 10⁶m
60pm;
1 x 10⁻¹²m = 1pm
60pm = 60 x 1 x 10⁻¹²m = 6 x 10⁻¹¹m
Now;
The order: = 1 x 10¹⁷
