Calculate the normal force on a 14.5 kg block in the following circumstances. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Assume upwards is the positive direction.) (a) The block is resting on a level surface. (b) The block is resting on a surface tilted up at a 33.5° angle with respect to the horizontal. (c) The block is resting on the floor of an elevator that is accelerating upwards at 3.35 m/s?. N (d) The block is on a level surface and a force of 120 N is exerted on it at an angle of 33.5° above the horizontal. (Assume the force pulls on the block.) N
Determine the force Q-> when the block moves with constant velocity. Express your answer in vector form.

Consider the following statement: “The normal force on an object is always equal to the weight of the object.”Select all the reasons that this statement is false . The normal force is not always parallel to the force of gravity The normal force is independent of the force of gravity The normal force is only equal to the weight of the object when sitting on a horizontal surface and there are no other forces in the y-direction except gravity The normal force causes an acceleration and therefore does not interact with gravity
