  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 60 kg person is standing on a scale. If the normal force exerted on them is 600 N, what is their acceleration?

    • A) 0 m/s^2
    • B) 0.1 m/s^2
    • C) 0.5 m/s^2
    • D) 1 m/s^2

    Answer: 0 m/s^2

    Explanation: Since the normal force equals the person's weight, their acceleration is zero, assuming no other forces are acting.
