Question

Some common types of forces that you will be dealing with include the gravitational force (weight), the force of tension, the force of friction, and the normal force.

It is sometimes convenient to classify forces as either “contact forces” between two objects that are touching or as “long-range forces” between two objects that are some distance apart. Contact forces include tension, friction, and the normal force. Long-range forces include gravity and electromagnetic forces. Note that such a distinction is useful but not really fundamental. For instance, on a microscopic scale the force of friction is really an electromagnetic force.

In this problem, you will identify the types of forces acting on objects in various situations.

Now consider a different situation. A string is attached to a heavy block and is used to pull the block to the right along a rough horizontal table.

What is the upward force that acts on the book called?

1-tension

2-normal force

3-weight

4-friction

Which object exerts a force on the block that is directed to the right?

Which object exerts a force on the block that is directed to the right?

1-the block itself

2-the earth

3-the surface of the table

4-the string

Answer 1

A string is attached to a heavy block and is used to pull the block to the right along a rough horizontal table.

the upward force that acts in the object is the normal force only if the applied force by the string is to the right (horizontal)

tension force will be to the right

normal force is upward

weight will be downward

frictioin force is to the left direction

answer is Normal force , option-2

--------

a force on the block that is directed to the right is

the applied force by the string so
the answer is The string option -4
