The normal force is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it. In this case, since the stone is at rest, the normal force must equal the gravitational force acting on it.
The gravitational force can be calculated using the formula:
force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration due to gravity (g)
F = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s^2 = 98 N
Therefore, the normal force acting on the stone is 98 N.
A stone with a mass of 10 kg sits on the ground. Gravity acts on the stone at a rate of 9.8 m/s2. What is the normal force acting on the stone, keeping it at rest?(1 point) Responses 9.8 N 9.8 N 98 N 98 N 1.02 N 1.02 N 10 N
