What force/s acting on the rock sitting on top of the hill?
A
Weight
B
Normal Force
C
Both Weight and Normal Forces
D
Neither Weight nor Normal Forces
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The normal force of an object placed on a sloping surface is always perpendicular to the surface and the other forces are parallel to the surface. See diagrams below. Forces acting on a block on an inclined plane: (At rest or slipping down the plane.)

Detailed explanation-2: -Pulling Down and Pushing Up One force acting on you-and all the other objects on Earth-is gravity.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the car goes over a hill the centripetal force which causes the car to travel in a circular path is the difference between the weight and the support force. The faster the car goes, the greater required centripetal force.

Detailed explanation-4: -The simple answer is gravity Gravity and normal forces are the first two basic forces acting upon you. Gravity pushes against you towards the hill, while the normal forces act in the opposite direction.
