Without Newton’s third law of motion, what would an object sitting on a table do?

Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

Without Newton's third law of motion, an object sitting on a table would continue sitting there, motionless, just we always see it do, and just as objects used to do before Newton ever developed his laws of motion.

Getting the new law didn't change anything. Just like everything else in Science, the new law was just a new description of how Nature works. But it didn't change anything, because Nature doesn't care whether we understand how it works or not.

If your weight is force created by gravity on your body, and therefore is the Earth pulling you down, what is the reaction force

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The reaction force is the force exerted by your body on the earth pulling upwards.

Explanation:

This can be explained using Newton's third law of motion which states that if object A exerts a force on object B, object B exerts a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction on object A. One characteristics of these force are that they act o 2 different bodies. In this example, the earth exerts a force on you. The Newton's reaction force would be you exerting a force of equal magnitude on the earth.

Consider an unknown charge that is released from rest at a particular location in an electric field so that it has some initial

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the charge is released at rest in an electric field, it will move along the electric field, going to regions of higher electric potential if it is a negative charge (against the field direction) and towards lower potential regions if it is positive (along the field). This means that the charge will gain kinetic energy, energy that only can come from a decrease in the electric potential energy.

For a positive charge: ΔEp = q*ΔV < 0 (as ΔV < 0)

For a negative charge: ΔEp = (-q) *ΔV < 0 (as ΔV > 0)

The acceleration of the object may be zero and the velocity of the object may not be equal to zero correct or not

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Acceleration is the change in velocity, not the velocity itself; therefore, an object can have zero velocity but not zero acceleration because the velocity will be changing.

Suppose that you measure a galaxy's redshift, and from the redshift you determine that its recession velocity is 30,000 (3×10^4)

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

1.4 billion light years away

Explanation:

v = Recessional velocity = 30000 km/s[/tex]

$H_0$ = Hubble constant = $\frac{65}{3.2\times 10^6}\ ly$

D = Distance to the galaxy

According to Hubble's law

$v=H_0D\\\Rightarrow D=\frac{v}{H_0}\\\Rightarrow D=\frac{3\times 10^{4}}{65}\times 3.2\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow D=1476923076.92307\ ly\\\Rightarrow D=1.4\times 10^9\ ly$

The galaxy is 1.4 billion light years away
