If for every action force an equal and opposite reaction force exists, how can anything ever be accelerated?

If there are two equal and opposite forces on the SAME THING, then the thing doesn't accelerate. You're right about that. But the action and reaction forces act on two different things. The bullet and the rifle. The ball and the bat. The airplane and the air. etc. So BOTH can accelerate.

When two or more identical capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference?
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>When two or more identical capacitors (or resistors) are connected
in series across a potential difference, the potential difference divides
equally among them.

For example, if you have nine identical capacitors (or resistors) all
connected end-to-end like elephants in a circus parade, and you
connect the string to a source of 117 volts (either AC or DC), then
you will measure

(117v / 9)  =  13 volts

across each unit in the string.</span>

If you walk a distance of 8 blocks and then 3 blocks south from home, what is your position compared to home? What distance did
Harman [31]

The position compared to that of home is a reference to displacement, I believe.

Displacement = x total - x initial

So I believe the answer is 5 blocks due north (if you’re walking linearly from your home), unless the questions is referring to relative displacement, in which then you’d need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse between both positions. And then you’d have to find theta for the degrees between the south direction and the other unmentioned direction. But I don’t think that’s the case.

Distance refers to x total and doesn’t care for direction, as this refers to a scalar quantity opposed to a vector. Thus the equation is just

d = x

So 8 blocks + 3 blocks = a distance of eleven blocks walked total

- How much force is needed to accelerate a 26 kg skier at 4 m/sec??
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

<h2>104 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 26 × 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>104 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

Many firms develop a formal what to answer the question: who is your target market and how do you plan to reach them?
Anvisha [2.4K]
Many firms develop a formal marketing plan to answer the question: who is your target market and how do you plan to reach them. A marketing plan is a comprehensive document which sets out an organization's overall marketing strategy. A marketing plan will include digital media, print media as well as product development strategies. The marketing plan takes the organization's mission statement and turns it into a practical plan. Its goal is to practically implement the reason for the organization's existance.
