Jane has a mass of 40 kg. She pushes on a 50 kg rock with a force of 100 N. What force does the rock exert on Jane?

I know something that a lot of people know but they get in trouble when they try to use it.  I got it a long time ago from my old school buddy Ike Newton.  I'll tell it to you, but you have to keep it to yourself, don't spread it around, and don't tell a lot of people where you got it.  

Here it is:

<em>For every action, there is a reaction that is EQUAL and opposite. </em>

That means that if Jane pushes on the rock with 100 Newtons of force,

then <u><em>The rock pushes on Jane with 100 Newtons of force.</em></u>

It doesn't matter how much Jane's mass is, it doesn't matter what the mass of the rock is, and it doesn't even matter whether Jane is moving, or the rock is moving, or both of them are moving.  If there's an action, then you can bet yer britches that there's a RE-action, and the RE-action is EQUAL and OPPOSITE to the action.

Why is this so hard ?

A kangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.45 m. How long was it in the air before returning to Earth?
dexar [7]

Answer:

1.08 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) reached = 1.45 m

Time of flight (T) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the kangaroo to return from the height of 1.45 m. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1.45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

1.45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1.45 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1.45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1.45/4.9)

t = 0.54 s

Note: the time taken to fall from the height(1.45m) is the same as the time taken for the kangaroo to get to the height(1.45 m).

Finally, we shall determine the total time spent by the kangaroo before returning to the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the height = 0.54 s

Time of flight (T) =?

T = 2t

T = 2 × 0.54

T = 1.08 s

Therefore, it will take the kangaroo 1.08 s to return to the earth.

Hold a pencil in front of your eye at a position where its blunt end just blocks out the Moon.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

D = 3.55 \times 10^6 m

Explanation:

Light rays coming from moon is blocked by the pencil

so as per figure we know that angle subtended by pencil and angle subtended by moon must be same

so we have

Angle = \frac{Arc}{Radius}

so we have

\frac{D}{3.8 \times 10^8 m} = \frac{0.7 cm}{75 cm}

so we have

D = 3.55 \times 10^6 m

A. In your own words, define what a transverse wave is.
olasank [31]

Answer:

a) From definition a transverse wave is which one where the elements moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave. For example is a wave is moving from the left to the right the elements would be wibrating or moving upward or downward.

We have a lot examples for a transverse wave. For example water waves, strings on the musical instruments , light and radio waves.

b) We can identify a transverse wave if the particles are displaced perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Usually these types of wave occur in elastic solids. And we can identify it when we see a pattern perpendicular between the wave direction and the particles motion. In simple words we need to see that the wave is moving down and up.
