As an egg falls towards the floor, it begins to travel faster and faster. When it slams into the floor, the egg is stopped almost immediately. This force of the floor against the eggshell is too large, so it breaks.

The two forces in each pair can either both act on the same body or they can act on different bodies. The two forces in each pai
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So, when we apply force in one direction on an object then the object also applies a force in the opposite direction.

Hence, it is true that two forces in each pair of forces act in opposite directions.

For example, when we push a wooden box of 20 kg in the forward direction then the box will also apply a force in the opposite direction.

But the statement two forces in each pair can either both act on the same body or they can act on different bodies is false.

A light bulb uses 0.5 amperes from a source of 120 volts. How much power is used by the bulb? 
Sladkaya [172]

Power = voltage(V) * current(I)

          = 120 * 0.5

Power = 60 watts

What is the vertical acceleration of a paper airplane that is launched horizontally with an initial velocity of 2.3 m/s?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

<em>The vertical acceleration is -9.81 m/s^2</em>

Explanation:

When a body is projected, the body experiences an acceleration in the vertical axis that is proportional to the acceleration due to gravity of the earth, which is equal to 9.81 m/s^2. In this case, the acceleration acts to stop the vertical motion of the paper plane, and hence is a deceleration, which explains the negative vertical acceleration.

A car with a mass of 600 kg is traveling at a velocity of 10 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have? The car has J of kinetic
konstantin123 [22]
The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass of the object and v its velocity. 

The car in this problem has a mass of m=600 kg and a velocity of v=10 m/s, therefore if we put these numbers into the equation, we find the kinetic energy of the car:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(600 kg)(10 m/s)^2=30000 J
