There are three forces acting on the book.
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces
Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).
∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N
Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.
oxygen's atomic number is 8
1s22s22p4 is the electron configuration
2+2=4 4+4=8
Answer:
Forces can affect an object.
Balanced forces allow an object to continue moving at a constant motion (law of inertia).
Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion.
