Answer:
50 N.
Explanation:
On top of a horizontal surface, the normal force acting on an object is equivalent to the force of gravity acting on the object. That is:

The mass of the block is 5 kg and the given force due to gravity is 10 N/kg. Substitute and evaluate:

In conclusion, the normal force acting on the block is 50 N.
C: if it senses unequal currents
To find the horizontal distance multiple the horizontal velocity by the time. Since there is no given time it must be calculated using kinematic equation.
Y=Yo+Voyt+1/2at^2
0=.55+0+1/2(-9.8)t^2
-.55=-4.9t^2
sqrt(.55/4.9)=t
t=0.335 seconds
Horizontal distance
=0.335s*1.2m/s
=0.402 meters
The acceleration is 
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by applying Newton's second law of motion: in fact, the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration. Therefore we can write:

where:
is the resultant force acting on the object
m is its mass
a is its acceleration
In this problem, we have the following forces acting on the system:
(forward)
(backward)
So, Newton's second law can be rewritten as:

where:
m = 1050 kg is the mass of all the students
Solving the formula for a, we find the acceleration of the system:
