An object is at rest on the ground. The object experiences a downward gravitational force from Earth. Which of the following pre

dictions is correct about why the object does not accelerate downward? Select two answers. Justify your selections.A) 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.B)The normal force is exerted upward on the object from the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the objectC) The bonded molecules of the object are attracted downward by the bonded molecules of the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the object.D) The force of friction is exerted upward on the object from the ground with the same magnitude as the gravitational force downward on the object.

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.

The forces on a car are balanced.state and explain the resultant force on the car
Vanyuwa [196]

there will no resultant force

Explanation:

this is because if the forces are balanced on opposite direction. then they cancel each other out

5 newton's ---------> <--------- 5 newton's

then both forces will cancel each other out as a result there is no resultant force and the newton's laws states that if there is no resultant the object will continue in its state of rest (remains there) or it will in continue in its uniform motion in a straight line.

I hope you understand,

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The force exerted by the child is 38.25 Newton

Explanation:

We use the formula F=mxa (m=mass and a= aceleration):

F= 45kg x 0,85 m/s2=38, 25 kgxm/s2= <em>38, 25 N</em>

Determine the diameter of the largest circular hole that can be punched into a sheet of polystyrene 6 mm thick, knowing that the
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

43.41 mm

Explanation:

Given:

thickness of sheet, t = 6 mm

Force exerted by punch, F = 45 KN

Average shearing stress, T = 55 MPa

From average shearing stress T = Force F / Area A

Hence area = force/stress =45000/ 55 =818.18 mm^2

From area = pi*diameter*thickness

diameter = area/(pi* thickness)

= 818.18/(3.142*6)

= 43.41 mm
