A book rests on a table. Which force is the normal force?
The force of gravity acting on the book.
The force exerted by the book on the table.
The force exerted by the table on the book.
The force of friction between the book and the table.
A block of mass 5 kg is on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.3. What is the friction force if the block is sliding?
1.5 N
15 N
50 N
166.7 N
Two blocks connected by a string are pulled across a surface with friction. Find the tension in the string.
The tension is equal to the applied force.
The tension is zero.
The tension depends on the masses of the blocks and the friction force.
The tension only depends on the mass of the first block.
Which forces act on a book resting on a table?
Only gravity
Only the normal force
Gravity and the normal force
Gravity, the normal force, and friction
