Every force has an equal but opposite reaction, the forces are balanced out on the brick.

Weight (mg) acts downwards from the brick but the normal contact force from the table is acting upwards therefore resultant force is 0N equilibrium

You know the direction of the force is based upon the resultant force, so if you were to push the brick horizontally across the table it would travel horizontally

What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a speck of clay on the edge of a potter's wheel turning at 45 rpm (revolutions per

Answer:

$a_{cp}=7.77m/s^2$

Explanation:

The equation for centripetal acceleration is $a_{cp}=\frac{v^2}{r}$ .

We know the wheel turns at 45 rpm, which means 0.75 revolutions per second (dividing by 60), so our frequency is f=0.75Hz, which is the inverse of the period T.

Our velocity is the relation between the distance traveled and the time taken, so is the relation between the circumference $C=2\pi r$ and the period T, then we have:
