What forces are acting on a book that is lying on a table?
Gravitational force (weight), pointing down.Reaction force, equal to the gravitational force (weight), exerted by the tabletop, pointing up.
To stop a table in your classroom falling through the floor what must the floor do against the force of gravity pulling the table down?
Newton's third law of motion states that: "For applied force (A), exists some force (B) of equal magnitude acting in the opposite direction of the force applied.". The force of the weight (which is the mass of the table multiplied by gravity) [W=mg] pushing down on the floor is counterbalanced by an equal and opposite force of the floor pushing up on the table. This is why the table does not fall through the floor. The floor is able to provide this force without allowing the table to move through it because the bonds between its atoms are strong enough.
How does a planet gets its force of gravity?
The force of gravity of a planet is a product of its mass.
What is the force of gravity in the surface of Mars?
Mars has a force of gravity equal to 3.7m/s2.
Did Galileo discover gravity?
Galileo found out that gravity is a force
If a book is placed on top of the table are there forces acting on the book?
Yes. For a start, gravity pulls it down. Also, the table pushes up on the book, thus canceling the force of gravity.
What is the upward force that keeps a box on a table known as?
The upward force is the reaction force of gravity; it is weight, which is mass x acceleration of gravity
To stop the table in your class falling through the floor what must the floor do against the force of gravity pulling the table down?
The floor must exert a force equal to that of the force exerted on the desk from gravity. This force is called a "normal force"
Does the book on the table have a force acting on it going upwards if no why or yes?
For example, if the book is resting on a table, gravity pulls the book down, and the table pushes the book up.
Is a textbook on a table a balanced force or an unbalanced force?
A textbook on a table is an example of balanced forces. The force of gravity pulling the book downward is balanced by the normal force exerted by the table in the upward direction, resulting in the book remaining stationary on the table.
A boy pushing horizontally on a large heavy table why is it that the table does not move?
The mass of the object (force of gravity) and the frictional force of moving the table are greater than the horizontal force that the boy is exerting on the table... so it won't move
Why won't a book resting on the table fall to the ground?
Because the table is exerting an upward force on the book exactly equal and opposite to the force of gravity.
Why won't a book resting on a table fall to the ground?
Because the table is exerting an upward force on the book exactly equal and opposite to the force of gravity.
A stack of books is pulling downward on the table what force is pulling down on it?
Gravity, which force will equal the weight of the books
When you put a book on a table the table pushes on the book?
I think the answer is that the table is pulling down on the book.
Is force of friction correlated to force of gravity?
It depends. Two surfaces which are pressed together will show a frictional force resisting any sliding. If they are pressed together by gravity (e.g. such as for a book lying on a table), then the frictional force resisting a horizontal push will depend on the weight of the book, which depends on the force of gravity.
Does a water table require gravity for its formation?
A water table is formed by water taking the path of least resistance, deep into the ground. Gravity is the force that makes water take that path.
