If there is an object in top of another object, why does the upper object exert a downward normal force?​

Physics
1 answer:
rusak2 [61]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

This is because normal force is exerted perpendicularly to the point of contact between the upper and lower objects.  

Explanation:

This is because the upper object is still subject to gravitational pull. Therefore, the amount of force it exerts on the lower object due to gravity will be equal to the normal force that acts in the negative direction of gravitational force. Additionally, normal force is evident because the upper object will not go into the lower object.

What is the density (in kg/m3) of a woman who floats in freshwater with 4.92% of her volume above the surface
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The density of the woman is 950.8 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given;

fraction of the woman's volume above the surface = 4.92%

then, fraction of the woman's volume below the surface = 100 - 4.92% = 95.08%

the specific gravity of the woman = \frac{95.08}{100 } = 0.9508

The density of the woman is calculate as;

Specific \ gravity \ of \ the \ woman = \frac{Density \ of \ the \ woman }{Density \ of \ fresh \ water }\\\\ Density \ of \ the \ woman  = Specific \ gravity \ of \ the \ woman \ \times \ Density \ of \ fresh \ water

Density of fresh water = 1000 kg/m³

Density of the woman = 0.9508 x 1000 kg/m³

Density of the woman = 950.8 kg/m³

Therefore, the density of the woman is 950.8 kg/m³

Find the cost of excavating a space 84 ft long, 42 ft wide, and 9 ft deep at a cost of $39/yd3. (simplify your answer completely
m_a_m_a [10]

The cost of excavating a space of 84 ft long, 42 ft wide, and 9 ft deep is $45864

Information about the problem:

  • Space long= 84 ft
  • Space wide= 42 ft
  • Space deep= 9 ft
  • Cost by yard3 = $39/yd3
  • Total cost= ?

To solve this problem, we have to state the equation using the information of the problem:

Calculating the volume of the total space:

space volume = space long * space wide * space deep

space volume = 84 ft * 42 ft * 9 ft

space volume = 31752 ft3

By converting the volume from ft3 to yd3, we have:

31752 ft3 * (0,037037 yd3 / 1 ft3) = 1176 yd3

Calculating the cost of excavating the volume space:

Total cost = space volume * cost by yard3

Total cost = 1176 yd3 * $39/yd3

Total cost = $45864

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

It is the space occupied by a body, it is calculated by multiplying its dimensions, for example: length, height and width.
