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

1 answer:

5 0

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.

Saturn moves in an orbit around the Sun with radius 10 AU. How many degrees does it move on the Celestial in one year? (Hint: Ca

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

B. About 12 degrees

Explanation:

The orbital period is calculated using the following expression:

T = 2π*( $\sqrt{\frac{r^3}{Gm}}$ )

Where r is the distance of the planet to the sun, G is the gravitational constant and m is the mass of the sun.

Now, we don't actually need to solve the values of the constants, since we now that the distance from the sun to Saturn is 10 times the distance from the sun to the earth. We now this because 1 AU is the distance from the earth to the sun.

Now, we divide the expression used to calculate the orbital period of Saturn by the expression used to calculate the orbital period of the earth. Notice that the constants will cancel and we will get the rate of orbital periods in terms of the distances to the sun:

$\frac{Tsaturn}{Tearth}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{rSaturn^3}{rEarth^3} } = \sqrt{10^3}}$

Knowing that the orbital period of the earth is 1 year, the orbital period of Saturn will be $\sqrt{10^3}}$ years, or 31.62 years.

We find the amount of degrees it moves in 1 year:

$1year * \frac{360degrees}{31.62years} = 11.38 degrees$

or about 12 degrees.

A net force of +15 N changes the momentum of an object by +100 kg-m/s. What is the time over which the force is applied? (please

sattari [20]

As momentum / time = force
so; time = 100÷15

so your answer is 6.7 !!
