When the puck reaches point “b”, it receives a instantaneous horizontal “kick “ in the direction as depicted by the heavy arrow. a) The main forces acting, after the “kick”, on the puck along the path you have chosen are: a.) The constant downward force due to gravity and the effect of air pressure. b.) The downward force of gravity and the horizontal force of momentum in the direction of motion. c.) The downward force of gravity and an upward force exerted on the puck by the table. d.)Gravity does not exert a force on the puck; it falls because of the intrinsic tendency of the object to fall to its natural place.arrow_forward
- A block with twice the density of water is at rest on the bottom of a container partially filled with water, as shown in the figure. The normal force exerted by the bottom of the container on the block is FN . Which of the following correctly indicates the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the block on the container and provides a valid explanation? A Equal to FN , because the forces between the block and the container are an interacting force pair described by Newton's third law. Equal to FN , because the block is not floating and therefore experiences no buoyant force. Less than FN , because there is a buoyant force pushing up on the block, reducing the amount it is pushing down on the container. Less than FN , because the block shields the container from some of the downward water pressure.arrow_forwardi need it in 15 minutes hand written answerarrow_forwardCalculate the magnitude of the normal force on a 12.7 kg block in the following circumstances.
