As you stand on a floor, the floor exerts an upward force on you. why are you not moved upward by this force? 1. the upward forc

e is less than your weight, so you do not move up. 2. the upward force is greater than your weight, but air pressure pushes you down. without the air, you would be lifted up. 3. the upward force is equal to your weight and the two forces cancel each other. 4. none of these 5. the upward force is negligible

Newton's third law of motion states that for any action, there is equal and opposite force. For a person standing on a floor, the action force is the weight and thus the floor must exert an opposite and equal reaction force equivalent in magnitude to the weight of the person.

In this regard, statement 3. is correct.

The amount of work done by two boys who apply 200 N of force in an
Aleksandr [31]

The amount of work done by two boys who apply 200 N of force in an unsuccessful attempt to move a stalled car is 0.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

Work done is the measure of work done by someone to push an object from its present position. We can also define work done as the amount of forces needed to move an object from its present position to another position. So the amount of work done is directly proportionate to the product of forces acting on the object and the displacement of the object.  

           \text { Work done }=\text { Force } \times \text { displacement }

So in this present case, as the two boys have done an unsuccessful attempts to push a stalled car so that means the displacement of the car is zero as there is no change in the position of the car. But they have applied a force of 200 N each. So the amount of work done will be

           \text { Work done }=200 \mathrm{N} \times 0=0

Thus, the amount of work done by two boys will be zero due to their unsuccessful attempt to move a stalled car.

Describe a situation when you might travel at a high velocity bit with low acceleration
iren [92.7K]

I am sitting in my seat.
I am listening to my mp3 and reading my book.
My eyes are getting heavy.  They start to close.
I try to stay awake, but it's no use.
I am so warm and comfortable and sleepy,
and I have just finished my dinner.
Finally I can't help it.  Resistance is futile.
I give up, and fall deep asleep.
My head rests back against my soft, comfy seat.

My seat is in row 26 on the airplane I'm flying in
to visit my grandmother on the coast.
We are cruising at 560 miles an hour, bearing 280°,
at flight level 320 .
The temperature outside my window is  -60°F .
