If normal is 90 degree to the surface, that means normal is used in 3D. Perpendicular in that case is more in 2D referring two same entities (line-line) with 90 degree angle between them.

In geometry, a normal is an object (e.g. a line, ray, or vector) that is perpendicular to a given object. For example, the normal line to a plane curve at a given point is the line perpendicular to the tangent line to the curve at the point. A normal vector of length one is called a unit normal vector.
The normal to the curve is the line perpendicular (at right angles) to the tangent to the curve at that point. Remember, if two lines are perpendicular, the product of their gradients is -1 . So if the gradient of the tangent at the point (2, 8) of the curve y = x 3 is 12, the gradient of the normal is -1/12, since -1/12 × 12 = -1 .

Tangent
If we are driving a car around a curve, when we drive over anything slick on the road (such as oil, ice, water, or loose gravel), and our automobile starts to slide, this will continue in such a directionthat is tangent towards the curve. If we grasp a ball in one hand and swing it through a circular motion, then let go of it, the ball would fly off in a direction that is perpendicular to the motion that it was being performed. The spokes of a bicycle wheel are parallel to the rim. A bicycle...
Normal
When driving quickly around with a circular path in an automobile, the force which you sense pushing you outwards goes normal to the curvature of the road. This is the case even if the trackis not circular. It is interesting to note that the force that’s also causing you to travel around at that corner is directed specifically toward the center of the circle, and it is acting in a direction that is normal towards the circle. At every point where a spoke joins with the center of the wheel, it...
When we are analyzing the forces that are operating on a moving body, we frequently need to locate the tangents and normal of the curves. A line is said to be tangent toward a curve if it meets the curve at exactly one place and if the slope of the line at that point is the same as the slope of the curve whereas a line that is perpendicular toward ...
Surface normals are importantfor defining vector field surface integrals. They are also frequently utilized in 3D computer graphics for the purpose of lighting computations, and normal mapping is frequently employed to make necessary adjustments.
Understanding tangents and normalare made easier by considering their respective qualities. 1. Normal and tangents are parallelto one another. 2. A tangent’s and a normal’s combined slopes are equalto -1. 3. Normal are inside the curve, while tangents are outsideit. 4. There is a normalfor each tangent of the curve. 5. The focus or center of the cu...
The tangents and the normal are two names for the lines that intersect a circle at this point. While the tangent at that location is parallel to the circle, the normal direction of motion is perpendicular towards the curve. There is a gradient equal to m along both the tangent and the normal if the slope of the curveis m. Two lines that link curves...
Example
Determine the equation of the normal to the circleusing the following: 2x2+2y2−2x−5y+3=0at (1,1)
Solution
We know that: The circle centeris: (12,54) Then, the equation to the normalcircle passing through the given point is: x + 2y = 3 All mathematical drawings and images were created with GeoGebra.
Normal. The math word 'normal' means to be at right angles, or meeting at 90° In the figure below the line JK is normal to AB. The usual way of saying this is that JK is perpendicular to AB.
Jun 27, 2014 · In response to Ketil Tveiten's question: "How did normal come to mean ordinary" : according to this source, the meaning of normal as conforming to common standards seems to be of recent origin (1828?).
