A 0.152 kg ball is attached to a string that is 62.2 cm long. The string will break if subjected to a tension force of 4.8 N. If a small child swings the ball in a horizontal circle around her head, at what velocity will the string break?
How do you find the normal force
between a table with a mass of 35 kg and
the floor?
(Assume that normal force and gravity are
the only two vertical forces.)
Your answer:
The normal force is the same
number - 35 kg.
Multiply the mass by the coefficient
of friction.
Multiple the mass by gravitational
acceleration (g = 9.8 m/s²)
The normal force is zero because
the table isn't moving vertically.
The normal force is 9.8 N because it
is on Earth.
Clear answer
School bus drivers are extra careful when they cross railroad tracks. They stop before they cross railroad tracks to be sure that there is no train coming. Yet, trains typically move more slowly through towns than cars do. If trains usually move more slowly than cars, why can they do more damage if they hit something in their path?

This means that if they move to the equator, they will actually weigh a little bit less standing on a scale then when they were at the North Pole.
