Answer:

A. 20 N down

Explanation:

It's asking how much force of gravity is acting on it. The book weighs 20 Newtons so that's how much gravity is being applied. Hope this helps

Answer:

Gravitational pull

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravitational force: it is an attractive force exerted between all objects having mass. Its magnitude is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged object. It can be either attractive ore repulsive.  Its magnitude is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force responsible for holding protons and neutrons together in the nuclei of the atoms. It is attractive and acts only on a very short scale.

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certain nuclear decay processes (radioactivity).

In this problem, landslides occur when certain masses of terrain are attracted towards the ground - they are attracted because of the gravitational force.

So, the correct answer is

gravitational pull

Find equation tangent to a circle at given point
vlabodo [156]

the equation of the tangent line must be passed on a point A (a,b) and perpendicular to the radius of the circle. <span>
I will take an example for a clear explanation:
let x² + y² = 4 is the equation of the circle, its center is C(0,0). And we assume that the tangent line passes to the point A(2.3).

</span>since the tangent passes to the A(2,3), the line must be perpendicular to the radius of the circle. 

<span>Let's find the equation of the line parallel to the radius.</span>

<span>The line passes to the A(2,3) and C (0,0). y= ax+b is the standard form of the equation. AC(-2, -3) is a vector parallel to CM(x, y).</span>

det(AC, CM)= -2y +3x =0, is the equation of the line // to the radius.

let's find the equation of the line perpendicular to this previous line.

let M a point which lies on the line. so MA.AC=0 (scalar product), 

it is (2-x, 3-y) . (-2, -3)= -4+4x + -9+3y=4x +3y -13=0 is the equation of tangent
