The correct option is d
<span>Weight changes depending on distance from the earth, mass does not.
Weight can be defined as the force exerted on an object due to the effects of gravity.
As we move far away from the Earth, the effects of gravity lessen and thus the weight decreases. (But the mass remains constant, because it only depends on the volume and density of the object)

Answer:
11.27N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the book = 1.15kg
Unknown:
Magnitude of the normal force = ?
Solution:
The normal force is the vertical force exerted by a body on an object.
It can be described as the weight of an object.
Normal force = mass x acceleration due to gravity
Normal force = 1.15 x 9.8 = 11.27N
The answer to this question is: absolute
Absolute threshold is the lowest intensity of a stimulus that can be detected by an organism. This normal value was determined by taking data of the lowest intensity of the populaion, then taking the 50% percentile value of the data. That means the absolute threshold would be right for half of the population.
