What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
What is it when apples fell on floor off the table by themselves?
apple=round, round=roll, roll=far as possible, far as possible=edge of table, edge of table=drop off point....
What is the force of gravity in the surface of Mars?
Mars has a force of gravity equal to 3.7m/s2.
What is the gravity at the surface of Mars?
The force of gravity on Mars is equal to 3.7m/s2. Mars's force of gravity is therefore 37.8% that of Earth's.
Why won't a book resting on a table fall to the ground?
The book remains on the table due to gravity and the normal force exerted by the table upward, balancing the downward force of gravity acting on the book. As long as these forces are balanced, the book will remain at rest on the table.
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"
What kind of force will a stack of magazines exert on a table?
The stack of magazines will exert a downward force on the table, known as the force of gravity. Additionally, there will be a force perpendicular to the table's surface, known as the normal force, which will counteract the force of gravity and prevent the magazines from falling through the table.
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
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.
If a book is placed on top of the table are there forces acting on the book?
Yes, there are multiple forces acting on the book when it is placed on top of the table. The gravitational force pulls the book downwards, while the normal force exerted by the table pushes the book upwards to counteract the gravitational force. Additionally, there may be frictional forces between the book and the table depending on the surfaces involved.
When a cup is placed on the table which force prevents the cup from falling on the ground?
The force of gravity pushes the cup downwards towards the ground, while the normal force exerted by the table on the cup pushes upwards, balancing out the force of gravity and preventing the cup from falling.
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.
When you put a book on a table the table pushes on the book?
When you place a book on a table, the table exerts an upward force on the book known as the normal force. This force is a reaction force to the downward force exerted by the book's weight due to gravity. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, the table pushes on the book with a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force the book exerts on the table.
Which of these would you include in a free body diagram of a coin balanced on its edge on a table?
In a free body diagram of a coin balanced on its edge on a table, you would include the force of gravity acting downward on the coin, the normal force exerted by the table upward on the coin, and the force of friction between the coin and the table that prevents it from sliding.
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
When you put a book on a table pushes on the book?
Not quite sure I understand the rather vague question. But gravity ensures the book remains stationary on the level tabletop. If the table is tilted enough, the book will slide down the slope, still governed by gravity. If I gave the book a shove and it slid off the level tabletop, I would be using a physical force.
