A very smart 3-year-old child is given a wagon for her birthday. She refuses to use it. "After all," she says, "Newton's third l

aw says that no matter how hard I pull, the wagon will exert an equal but opposite force on me. So I will never be able to get it to move forward." What would you say to her in reply?

Answer:

Explanation:

She's correct but doesn't mean the wagon cannot put into motion. The force that she applied on the wagon, according to Newton's 2nd law, would have generated an acceleration, which translates into motion. The reaction force the wagon applies on her due to Newton's 3rd law, would not hinder its own motion.

nekit [7.7K]
Find the volume of the bottom and top separately and then add them.
Cylinder volume is the area of the bottom times the height
(22/7)(5^2)•175=13750 ft^3

The volume of a sphere is
V=(4/3)(22/7)r^3
where r is the radius. Here that's also 5 since it fits on the cylinder.
Also we only want half the sphere so use
V=(2/3)(22/7)•5^3=261.9 ft^3
Which we round upto 262.
Now add the parts together
13750+262=14,012 ft^3

A hypodermic needle consists of a plunger of circular cross-section that slides inside a hollow cylindrical syringe. when the pl
Blababa [14]
The fluid that is being passed through the syringe and needle is incompressible, which means that it will transmit pressure equally. Therefore, the pressure on the plunger will be equivalent to the pressure on the needle. We also know that:

Pressure = Force / Area

Pressure on plunger = 4 / (π*(0.012/2)²)
Pressure on plunger = 35.4 kPa
Pressure on needle = 35.4 kPa

35.4 kPa = F / (4 / (π*(0.0025/2)²)
F = 0.17 N

The force on the needle is 0.17 N

A girl and a boy are riding on a merry go round that is turning at a constant rate. The girl is near the outer edge, and the boy
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The girl has greater tangential acceleration

Explanation:

The angular acceleration (\alpha) of the merry go round is equal to the rate of the change of the angular velocity, \omega:

\alpha = \frac{d\omega}{dt}

Since all the points of the merry go round complete 1 circle in the same time, the angular velocity of each point of the merry go round is the same, and so all the points also have the same angular acceleration.

The tangential acceleration instead is given by

a_t = \alpha r

where

\alpha is the angular acceleration

r is the distance from the centre of the merry go round

Since the girl is near the outer edge and the boy is closer to the centre, the value of r for the girl is larger than for the boy, so the girl has greater tangential acceleration.

Please answer ASAP for brainliest
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Question #1- Scientists agree to a standard way of reporting measured quantities in which the number of reported digits reflects the precision in the measurement- more digits, more precision; less digits, less precision. You just studied 14 terms!

Question #2-  Units are important because without proper measurement and units to express them, we can never express physical laws precisely just from qualitative reasoning. Units are incredibly important to physics. Two of the most important reasons are the following: (1) they help us. to avoid making mistakes in computation, and (2) they serve as a check on computations once they are completed. In the first case, you can avoid adding 3m and 25cm and coming up with the wrong answer.

Explanation: Hope this helps please mark brainliest!

The statement that "the lowest energy configuration for an atom is theone having the maximum number of unpaired electrons allowe
Mila [183]

Answer:

"The lowest energy configuration for an atom is the one having the maximum number of unpaired electrons allowed by thePauli principle in a particular set of degenerate orbitals" is known as Hund's rule.

Explanation:

Pauli's Exclusion principle states that "two or more electrons can not have the same values of the set of all quantum numbers in an atom or a molecule".

So, the given statement <em>is not</em> Pauli's Exclusion principle.

Hund's rule states that the lowest energy configuration of an atom is that one in which the maximum number of parallel spins of the electrons are present.

The given statement is "The lowest energy configuration for an atom is the one having the maximum number of unpaired electrons allowed by the Pauli principle in a particular set of degenerate orbitals", which is same as the Hund's rule.

Thus, the given statement is Hund' rule.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that the momentum and position of an object can not be measured exactly at the same time.

So, the given statement <em>is not</em> Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

Aufbau principle tells about the filling of the electrons in subshells of an atom. Therefore, the given statement <em>is not </em>Aufbau principle.
