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.

Suppose that a baseball is tossed up into the air at an initial velocity 1818​​\text{ m/s} m/s​. The height of the baseball at t
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

13.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a baseball is tossed up into the air at an initial velocity 18 m/s​. The height of the baseball at time t​ in seconds is given by h(t) = 18t−4.9t 2 ​​​​​ (in meters).

a) What is the average velocity for [1,1.5]​?

To calculate the velocity travelled by the ball, differentiate the function.

dh/dt = 18 - 9.8t

Substitute t for 1 in the above Differential function

dh/dt = 18 - 9.8 (1)

But dh/dt = velocity

V = 18 - 9.8

V = 8.2 m/s

Average velocity = ( U + V ) / 2

Average velocity = (18 + 8.2)/2

Average velocity = 26.2/2

Average velocity = 13.1 m/s
