Touching the father’s feet signifies both respect and authority for him by the devoted son. This show of respect and authority has been embedded to the son, he stopped touching his father’s feet but he carried with him the authority and respect he felt for his father even after becoming a doctor. The devoted son continuously showed his father the respect and authority and this somehow has taken a toll on their relationship especially when the father was succumb to sickness. He showed his respect and authority to his father by ensuring that he lived as long as the son can provide by giving the father the necessary medications. This displeased the father because he felt the other way around.

Explanation:

Q1:

In order to find the total momentum of the system, we first consider the initial stage when the can is at rest. The angular momentum of the water and the can is 0.

When the can starts moving, the water in the can also starts escaping. Therefore we can say that the momentum of escaping water and momentum of moving can cancel each other out.

Hence the net  momentum or total momentum of the system is equal to 0.

Q4:

Examples of Newton's third law:

1. When a player kicks a football, it moves in the forward direction which is considered as the action. At the same time, the ball pushes back the toe which is considered as a reaction. Both forces are equal in magnitude put opposite in the direction.

2. The Earth's gravitational force is a huge example of Newtons third law. Consider a case of chandelier hanging from the roof. The Earth's gravitational force pulls the chandelier down which is an action. whereas, the same time, the tension in the string attached to roof also pulls the chandelier with equal amount of energy. This is the reaction force.

3. Consider another case of water shooting out of a fire hose. The water moves out of the hose in one direction, which is the action. The force with which the waters moves out pf the hose, pushes the hose in backward direction which is the reaction. In all the examples you can observes that both action and reaction forces are acting in opposite direction but are equal in magniture.
