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.

The speed of sound in wood is ____ the speed of sound in water.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

greater

Explanation:

the speed of sound in steel is greater than water. the speed of sound in wood is not, In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air, but it takes a lot of energy to start the vibration.

Wood is less dense and force can make a sound.

A Honda Hawk motorcycle and its rider with a combined mass of 450 kg travels around a curve of radius 106 m with a speed of 18 m
umka21 [38]

Answer: coefficient of static friction

= 0.31

Explanation: Since they negotiate the curve without skidding, the frictional force (F1) equals the centripetal force (F2).

F1= uN

F2 = M*(v²/r)

M is the combined mass 450kg

V is the velocity 18m/s

r is the radius 106m

N is the normal reaction 4410N

u is the coefficient of static friction

Making u subject of the formula we have that,

u = {450*(18²/106)} /4410

=1375.47/4410

=0.31

NOTE: coefficient of friction is dimensionless. It as no Unit.
