The correct answer is B. 24 N.

To figure out the exact force the cart exerts on the woman, we have to use Newton's third law of motion.  Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This means that if object  1 exerts a force on object 2 , object 2 will exert an equal but opposite force on object 1.

This law allows us to ignore the masses of the chart and the women and focus on the  pairs of forces the woman and the chart apply to each other.  Since the woman exerts a force of 24 N on the chart, the chart will exert a force of 24 N on the woman.

The correct answer is B. 24 N.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

1) A downward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the force of of gravity

2) An upward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the table

Explanation:

First of all, any object near the Earth's surface experiences the forces of gravity, which is also called weight of the object. This force always acts downward.

For the book in the problem, the magnitude of the weight is 5 N.

We also know that the book is at rest: this means that the net force acting on it is zero, and there must be another force balancing the weight, in order to give a zero net force. This other force is the reaction force exerted by the table on the book: the magnitude of this force must be equal to the force of gravity (so, 5 N) and its direction is opposite to the weight, therefore upward.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

3) Dims in, Brightens out

Explanation:

The relationship between the inductance of a coil and the current is inverse.

As the rod is thrusted into the solenoid, the inductance increases, which in turn decreases the current and the bulb gets dimmer. This is also because some magnetic force is drawn away from the solenoid and the battery.

When the rod is removed, the inductance of the solenoid decreases, the current increases, and the bulb becomes brighter.
