Answer:

A horse pushes the ground in a backward direction. According to Newton’s third law of motion, a reaction force is exerted on the horse in the forward direction. When the horse walks in the forward direction (with the cart attached to it), it exerts a force in the backward direction on the Earth. An equal force in the opposite direction (forward direction) is applied on the horse by the Earth. This force moves the horse and the cart forward. As a result, the cart moves forward.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

first question is 178 g of sodium phosphate dihydrate. second question is 0.25 mL

Explanation:

To know the number of grams from the number of moles $(0.5L*2mol/L)= 1mol$ . 1 mol is equal to 178 g. Second question mL of the stock is obtained from $(0.1L*5.0^-3mol/L)/2mol/L$ .

Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does

Strike441 [17]

Answer: Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does? The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.
