Answer 1

Which force is always perpendicular (90 degree angle) to a surface. So, if you are sitting on the floor, what is the name of the force "the floor pushes up on you"?

Question 4 options:

normal

Step-by-step explanation

The normal force is a connecting force. If two surfaces are in contact, they exert a normal force on each other. The normal force is a force that is shown perpendicular to the two surfaces in contact. It makes the reason that the force is vertical to the surface.
