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.

3. A model rocket is launched straight upward at 58.8 m/s.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Let us assume that rocket only runs in initial energy and not using its own to flying.

Also , let upward direction is +ve and downward direction is -ve .

Initial velocity , u = 58.8 m/s .

Acceleration due to gravity , g=-9.8\ m/s^2 .

Final velocity , v - = 0 m/s .

We know , by equation of motion .

v^2-u^2=2gh\\\\2gh_{max}=0^2-58.8^2\\\\h_{max}=\dfrac{0^2-58.8^2}{-2\times 9.8}\\\\h_{max}= 176.4\ m

Hence, this is the required solution .

If a force is 100 N and is pointing 37 degrees north of east. (a) Draw a diagram of this force. (b) Draw the force's x and y com
sasho [114]

Answer

given,

force = 100 N

Point 37 degrees north of east

a) and b) part is shown in the diagram attached below.

c) to find the x and y component of the force

x- component of the force

F_x = F cos \theta

F_x = 100\times cos 37^0

F_x = 79.86 N

y- component of the force

F_y = F sin \theta

F_y = 100\times sin 37^0

F_y = 60.18 N
