Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

If the object is at rest, it means that no net force is exerted on it.

As the object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth, in order to be at rest, it must experience an upward force with the same magnitude as the gravitational force on the object.

This force is supplied by the normal force, which can adopt any value in order to meet the condition imposed by Newton´s 2nd Law, and is always perpendicular to the surface on which the object is placed (in this case, the ground).

At a molecular level, this normal force is supplied by the bonded molecules of the ground that behave like small springs being compressed by the molecules of the object, exerting an upward restoring force upward on them.

So, the statements A) and B) are true.

Answer:

The bonded molecules of the object are repelled upward by the bonded molecules of the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the object.

The normal force is exerted upward on the object from the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the object.

If a reaction starts with 30 grams how many should it end with ?
zysi [14]

30grams

Explanation:

If a reaction starts with 30grams then the reaction should end with 30grams.

This in conformity with the law of conservation of mass.

  • The law states that "in an isolated system, mass is neither created nor destroyed during chemical transformation".
  • Mass is the quantity of matter contained in a substance.
  • In chemical reactions, the mass of reactants must always be the same with the mass of the product baring any loss.
  • In an isolated system, there is no exchange of energy and mass.
  • Chemical systems are usually treated as isolated systems in which mass is conserved.
