Where are elements with few valence electrons found on the periodic table ?

When you push downward on a book at rest on a table, you feel an upward force. does this force depend on friction? defend your answer.

Madison pushes with a 210-n horizontal force on a 24-kg crate of coffee resting on a warehouse floor. the force of friction on the crate is 74 n. what is the acceleration?

The period of a pendulum varies directly as the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely as the square root of the acceleration due to gravity. find the period when the length is 144 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared, if the period is 7pi seconds when the length is 289 cm and the acceleration due to gravity is 980 cm per second squared.
