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.

What is the law of Newton's third law of motion that explains why when you put a book on a table, the table pushes on the book?

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you put a book on a table, the book exerts a downward force on the table due to gravity. In response, the table exerts an equal and opposite force upward on the book, preventing it from falling through the table.


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.


7 If an object has no acceleration can you conclude that no forces are exerted on it?

No. There may be forces on the body but they are balanced so that the net force is zero. For example a plate on a table is not accelerating but there is a gravity force towards the earth and the table creates a balancing force. Thus the plate just sets there not accelerating. This Newton's Third Law in action.


What is the law of Newton that explains why when you put a book on a table, the table exerts an equal and opposite force on the book?

The law of Newton that explains why when you put a book on a table, the table exerts an equal and opposite force on the book is the third law of motion, also known as Newton's third law. This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, when the book exerts a downward force on the table due to gravity, the table exerts an upward force on the book to support its weight.


What a example of unbalanced force that caused a change in motion?

An example of unbalanced force causing a change in motion is when a person pushes a book across a table. The force exerted by the person is greater than the force of friction between the book and the table, causing the book to accelerate in the direction of the push.

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.

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.


What tense is put in the sentence the teacher put the book on the table?

The tense in the sentence "the teacher put the book on the table" is past tense. The verb "put" indicates that the action happened in the past.

A book is sitting on a table What forces act on the book?

the book cannot change its direction of motion


How can there be force without acceleration?

To get an acceleration, there has to be a net force - and conversely, if there is a net force, there is acceleration. In many common situations, there are two or more forces that cancel one another - the vector sum of the forces is zero, and therefore there is (by definition) no net force, and no acceleration. Here is one example. A book lies on the table. Gravity pulls the book down, but the book doesn't accelerate downward. What is the counter-force? It has to be the table pushing the book up. (Of course, by Newton's Third Law, if the book pushes down against the table, then the table pushes up against the book.)
