Question

A dog sits on a flat surface. If the dog has a mass of 13 kg, what is the normal force acting on it?

Answer 1

the answer is N because i have done this be for because im in k12 and i got 100% right

Answer 2

The normal force acting on it is 127.4 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a dog = 13 kg

Normal force :

The supported force exerted upon a dog that is in contact with the surface it is called normal force.

Normal force is defined as:

`F = -mg`

Where,

F = normal force

m = mass of dog

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value of mass into the formula

`F = -13*9.8`

`F = -127.4\ N`

Negative sign shows the upward direction of the normal force.

Hence, The normal force acting on it is 127.4 N.
