What is the support force on the floor if someone who weighs 400 N gives someone who weighs 200 N a piggy Back ride?
When a person weighing 400 N gives a piggyback ride to someone who weighs 200 N, the total weight supported by the floor is the sum of both weights. Therefore, the support force on the floor would be 400 N + 200 N = 600 N. This total force is what the floor must counteract to keep the system in equilibrium.
What else can I help you with?
If a person weighs 150 pounds and is standing on the floor and the floor is not moving what is the force that the floor exerts on the person?
150 lbs. In order for the floor to support you it must resist an equal force.
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 is the force called that is used when you stand rest of a floor and the flood exert an upward force?
The force is called normal force. It is a reactionary force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it. In the context of standing on a floor, the normal force from the floor acts in the upward direction to balance the downward force due to gravity acting on the person.
Does the floor exert an upward force against your feet?
Yes, the floor exerts an upward force on your feet in response to the gravitational force pulling you down. This force is known as the normal force and it helps to support your weight and keep you from falling through the floor.
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.
A book that weighs 15N at rest on a flat table. How many Newton of support force does the table provide What is the net force on the book in this case?
The table provides a support force of 15N to balance the weight of the book, according to Newton's third law. The net force on the book is zero because the support force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the weight of the book, resulting in a balanced force system.
How much force does a floor exert on you?
The force a floor exerts on you is equal and opposite to your weight. This force is known as the normal force, which supports your weight and prevents you from falling through the floor. The magnitude of this force depends on your mass and the acceleration due to gravity.
What happens when someone pushes a chair across the floor?
When someone pushes a chair across the floor, the force applied in the pushing direction causes the chair to move. Friction between the chair legs and the floor resists the motion, which can create a sound as the chair moves. If the force is strong enough, the chair will accelerate and continue moving until the force is removed or balanced by other forces.
If someone is sliding a box across the floor what does he need to know to calculate the force of the box?
To calculate the force of the box being slid across the floor, the person needs to know the mass of the box and the acceleration of the box. Using the equation F = ma (force equals mass times acceleration), the person can determine the force required to slide the box across the floor.
Are you stand on floor does the floor exert an upward force against your feet how much force does it exert why are you not moved upward by this force?
Yes, when standing on a floor, the floor exerts an upward force on your feet equal to the force of gravity acting on your body. This force prevents you from sinking through the floor or falling. You are not moved upward by this force because your body weight is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the floor, resulting in equilibrium.
Why doesn't gravity make you fall through the floor?
Gravity pulls you downward, but the floor exerts an equal and opposite force to support your weight and prevent you from falling through. This balancing act is known as normal force, which keeps you in place on the surface of the floor.
When you standing on the floor does the floor exert an upward force against your feet How much force does it exert?
Because your feet are not accelerating, the force exerted by the floor upon your feet must be exactly the same as the force exerted by your feet on the floor. If you are standing, the amount of force exerted by your feet, and thus the amount of force exerted by the floor, is equivalent to your weight.
