Question

consider this situation: a person stands at rest on the floor. identify the forces that act upon the person. tap to select the forces that are present. normal gravity applied friction tension air resistance

Explanation:

• Normal force: The floor exerts a normal force on the person perpendicular to the surface of the floor. This force counteracts the force of gravity.
• Gravity: The Earth's gravitational pull acts on the person, pulling them downward towards the center of the Earth.

There is no applied force (no external force being actively applied to the person other than gravity), no friction (since there is no tendency for the person to slide or move horizontally), no tension (no ropes or strings pulling on the person), and no air - resistance (the person is at rest, so the speed is zero and air - resistance, which is proportional to speed in many cases, is also zero).

Answer:

Normal, Gravity
