Yes, a pile of soil sitting on the ground exerts force on the ground beneath it. The soil has mass, and gravity pulls it down on the whatever is under it. A red ant standing atop the pile of soil exerts an extra force on it, to continue the figure.
The floor exerts an upward force of 200N on the woman, which is equal in magnitude to her weight to keep her stationary. This force is known as the normal force, which acts in the opposite direction to the force of gravity.
In mechanics, the force exerted upwards by the surface that a body sits on is equal and opposite to the force exerted downwards by that body and is referred to as the Ground Reaction Force (GRF) or simply Reaction.
The shelf must exert an upward force on the book that is exactly equal to the book's weight. If the forces on the bottom of the book were not balanced (did not add up to zero), then the bottom of the book would be accelerating.
A bicycle seat exerts a force on a rider by supporting the rider's weight through normal force. When a person sits on the seat, their weight pushes down on the seat, and the seat pushes back up with an equal force (normal force) to support the rider.
The main forces acting on a shuttle on the launch pad are the gravitational force pulling it downwards, the normal force exerted by the ground pushing it upwards, and possibly wind resistance. Additionally, the rocket engines may be applying a thrust force in preparation for launch.
It just sits there on the ground, it doesn't do anything.
Riding height on a vehicle is the height from the ground to the bottom of the car. Or how far from the ground your car sits
The force that is put on... for example when someone sits on a see-saw, they are appplying force on the see-saw.
If a cat that has a mass of 4.50 kilograms sits on a ledge that is 0.800 meters above ground and it jumps down to the ground, it will have a specific amount of kinetic energy just as it reaches the ground. In this instance, the answer would be 35.3J.
The normal force is what prevents an object from falling through the ground. The force of gravity is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration due to gravity, so the ground that the object sits on must apply an equal force in the opposite direction (Newton's Third Law), other wise the object would fall through.
I think you are referring to a kiwi.
No, a bed roll is a ground mat which the sleeping bag sits on.
