Define newton's 3rd law of motion

Physics
1 answer:
soldier1979 [14.2K]3 years ago

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.

Substances which naturally attract each other called what
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Ferromagnetism, physical phenomenon in which certain electrically uncharged materials strongly attract others. Two materials found in nature, lodestone (or magnetite, an oxide of iron, Fe3O4) and iron, have the ability to acquire such attractive powers, and they are often called natural ferromagnets.

Hope this help :)

Describe the quantum mechanical model of the atom and several observations which support this model.
PIT_PIT [208]

This means that we shouldn't imagine electrons as single objects going around the atom. Instead, all we know is the probability of finding an electron at a particular location. What we end up with is something called an electron cloud. An electron cloud is an area of space in which an electron is likely to be found. It's like a 3-D graph showing the probability of finding the electron at each location in space. Quantum mechanics also tells us that a particle has certain numbers (called quantum numbers) that represent its properties. Just like how materials can be hard or soft, shiny or dull, particles have numbers to describe the properties. These include a particle's orbital quantum numbers, magnetic quantum number, and its spin. No two electrons in an atom can have exactly the same quantum numbers. Orbital quantum numbers tell you what energy level the electron is in. In the Bohr model, this represents how high the orbit is above the nucleus; higher orbits have more energy. The first orbit is n=1, the second is n=2, and so on. The magnetic quantum number is just a number that represents which direction the electron is pointing. The other important quantum mechanical property, called spin, is related to the fact that electrons come in pairs. In each pair, one electron spins one way (with a spin of one half), and the other electron spins the other way (with a spin of negative one half). Two electrons with the same spin cannot exist as a pair. This might seem kind of random, but it has effects in terms of how magnetic material is. Materials that have unpaired electrons are more likely to be magnetic

What is evaporation? Condensation? Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Evaporation is the physical change in which a substance converts from its <u>liquid</u> state to its <u>gaseous</u> state. Condensation is the physical change in which a substance converts from its <u>gaseous</u> state to its <u>liquid</u> state.

Explanation:

Evaporation and condensation are opposite processes to each other. Evaporation changes a liquid to a gas and condensation is the reverse.

A student pushes on a 8-kg box with a force of 35 N forward. The force of sliding friction is 10 N backward. What is the acceler
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

(35 N - 10 N)/8kg = 3.125 m/s^2

Explanation:

The formula for Force is:

Force = Mass*Acceleration

(Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration)

Since we're told to find the acceleration of the box. We make acceleration the subject of the equation:

Acceleration = Force/Mass

(Acceleration equal to Force divided by Mass)

We know that the force are 35 N forward and 10 N backward, and the weight of the box is 8kg.

= (35 N - 10 N)/8kg

The reason that 35 N minus 10 N is because the 10 N is pushing the box backward.

= 25 N/8kg

= 3.125 m/s^2

Hope it helps :DD
