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.
If the absolute pressure of a gas is 550.280 kPa, its gage pressure is

a. 101.325 kPa.
b. 448.955 kPa.
c. 651.605 kPa.
d. 277.280 kPa.</span>
The answer is B.
The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .
If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .
(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)
