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.

A train travels 55 kilometers in 2 hours, and then 52 kilometers in 5 hours. What is its average speed?
bulgar [2K]

The formula for working out speed is distance ÷ time.

55 km ÷ 2 hours = 27.5 km/h (average speed for first part of journey)

52km ÷ 5 hours = 10.4 km/h (average speed for second part of journey)

(27.5 + 10.4) ÷ 2 = 18.95 km/h (average speed throughout the journey)

Anton [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational force between two objects having mass m₁ and m₂ at a distance R

F = G m₁ m₂ / R²

Force between baby and father F₁ = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ x 4.1 x 120 / .18²

= 1.01 x 10⁻⁶ N

b )

Force between baby and Jupiter

F₂ = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ x 1.9x 10²⁷ x 4.1 / ( 6.29 x 10¹¹ )²

= 1.31 x 10⁻⁶  N

c )

Ratio = 1.01 / 1.31

= .77

A 3250 N car is pushed a distance of 35 m the power was 11375 J, how long did it take?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

10.8s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on the car  = 3250N

Distance  = 35m

Power  = 11375W

Unknown:

Time taken = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

 Power is the rate at which work is done

         Power = \frac{work done }{time}  

  Work done  = force x distance  = 3250 x 35  = 123200J

Now;

          11375  = \frac{123200}{t}  

           11375t  = 123200  

                   t  = 10.8s
