Responses
The force of gravity pulling down the book and the force of the table pushing up on the book are equal.
The force of gravity pulling down the book and the force of the table pushing up on the book are equal.
The book experiences unbalanced forces because the force of gravity pulling down on the book and the force of the table pushing up are equal.
The book experiences unbalanced forces because the force of gravity pulling down on the book and the force of the table pushing up are equal.
The book experiences balanced forces because the force of gravity pushing down on the book is greater.
The book experiences balanced forces because the force of gravity pushing down on the book is greater.
The book experiences unbalanced forces from friction, gravity and the table.
The force of gravity pulling down the book and the force of the table pushing up on the book are equal.
are you sure
Apologies for the repeated response. The book experiences balanced forces because the force of gravity pulling down on the book is equal to the force of the table pushing up on the book.
a b c or d
I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is:
a) The force of gravity pulling down the book and the force of the table pushing up on the book are equal.
