Describe what happens when you jump from a small boat onto a dock from the perspective of the 3rd Law.

Physics

IgorLugansk [536]3 years ago

according to newton's third law, every action has equal and opposite reaction. in this scenario of making a jump from the boat onto a dock, as i jump my feet in contact with the boat push the boat in backward direction. hence the action force is the push by my feet on the boat. the boat reacts by applying a reaction force on my feet pushing the feet in forward direction. hence reaction force here is the force by the boat on the feet. due to the reaction force of the boat on feet, i am pushed in forward direction to reach the the dock.

Astronomers thought that a nova was a new star, appearing for the first time in the heavens, today we know that it is as a binary star system.

<h3>What is the binary star system about?</h3>

A binary star system is known to be one where one star is known to be called a white dwarf and there is a mass that is said to be transferred to it

A binary star is known to be a kind of a system that is composed of two stars that are known to be gravitationally held together to and in orbit near each other.

Note that Binary stars in the night sky are ones that are often seen as a single object and thus Astronomers thought that a nova was a new star, appearing for the first time in the heavens, today we know that it is as a binary star system.

what is the transfer of heat energy by direct contact. A . convection b. radiation c. thermal or heat and d. conduction ​
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

d. conduction ​

Explanation:

Conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or thermal energy due to the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Any material or object that allow the conduction (transfer) of electric charge or thermal energy is generally referred to as a conductor. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.

In conclusion, conduction typically involves the transfer of heat energy by direct contact between two or more conductors such as a pot and electric cooker.

When a golf ball is hit, it travels at 41 meters per second. The mass of a golf ball is 0.045kg. Calculate the kinetic energy of
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

  75.645 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is related to the mass and velocity by the formula ...

  KE = 1/2mv²

For the given mass of 0.045 kg, and velocity of 41 m/s, the kinetic energy is ...

  KE = 1/2(0.045 kg)(41 m/s)² = 75.645 J

__

The unit of energy, joule, is a derived unit equal to 1 kg·m²/s².

aniked [119]
The name of the scientist who incorrectly theorized that it was the positive charge that moved through a circuit is Benjamin Franklin. Franklin made his famous experiments with a kite in a charged cloud.
He was the scientist that made the electrical notation where the current is given by the direction of the positive charges flow.
