Answer:

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Explanation:

Let's say I threw a ball on the wall. The image shows the instance the ball comes into contact with the wall.

If you would look at the image above,

- F1 and F2 are acting in opposite directions.

- They both have the same magnitude too.

F1 is the force of the ball on the wall (action force) and F2 is the force of the wall on the ball (reaction force). This is called an action-reaction pair.

a girl that has a mass of 55kg is standing on a floor, how much supporting force does the floor have?

KengaRu [80]

A girl standing on a floor would have two opposite forces acting on it. These forces are the weight and the normal force. Since no other forces are acting and that the girl is at rest, then the weight must equate to the normal force. Therefore, the supporting force would be:

F = mg = 55kg (9.81 m/s^2) = 539.55 N

A 75 kg Spider Man running at 3.0 m/s jumps onto a trash can lid that has a mass of 10kg and that is already moving in the same

QveST [7]

In order to find the final velocity of the skier and the trash can lid, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system remains constant. Mathematically, in this case:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₃v₃
Where m₃ and v₃ are the combined mass and velocity.

75*3 + 10*2 = (75 + 10)*v₃
v₃ = 2.88 m/s

The final velocity is 2.88 m/s
