Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Newton's 3rd Law tells us that if two objects interact via some force, then the value one exerts on the other have the same magnitude but opposite directions. Newton's 2nd Law tells us that the value of this force is F=ma. So, for two objects with different masses, if the forces they are exerting on each other are equal (as they must be by Newton's 3rd Law), the accelerations they are experimenting must necessarily be different.

On a day the air is still a windmill still posses what type of energy is that ?
Montano1993 [528]

Well, it's up on top of a pole or pedestal of some sort,
so it has some gravitational potential energy relative to
the ground.  In other words, if it somehow became detached
from its structure and fell to the ground, it would make quite
an energetic splat when it got there.

Also, the windmill is at the temperature of the air around it,
which is far from Absolute Zero, so the windmill holds a lot of
thermal (heat) energy.

Then I guess there's the matter of the chemical energy in the
molecules of the material that the windmill is made of, and the
nuclear energy in its atoms.

A wildlife researcher is tracking a flock of geese. the geese fly 3.5 km due west, then turn toward the north by 40 ∘ and fly an
kaheart [24]

To solve this problem, we can use the cosine formula for calculating the length of the displacement:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 – 2 a b cos θ

 

where c is the displacement, a = 3.5 km, b = 4.5 km, and θ is the angle inside the triangle

 

Since the geeze turned 40° from west to north, so the angle inside the triangle must be:

θ = 180 – 40 = 140°

 

c^2 = 3.5^2 + 4.5^2 – 2 (3.5) (4.5) cos 140

c^2 = 56.63

c = 7.53 km

 

<span>So the magnitude of the displacement is 7.53 km</span>

A person uses a surfboard to ride every 30th wave crest towards the beach. The wave crest travels at a speed of 1.6m/s and the d
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

8

Explanation:

Applying,

v = λf................ Equation 1

Where v = velocity/ speed of the wave, λ = wave length of the wave, f = number of waves the person surf in one seconds.

make f the subject of the equation

f = v/λ............ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: v = 1.6 m/s, λ = 24 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

f = 1.6/24

f = 0.0667 wave/seconds.

If,

in one seconds, the person surf a total wave crest of 0.0667

Therefore,

in one hours, he will surf a total wave crest of (0.0667×60×60) = 240 waves crest

He rides for every 30th wave crest,

Hence,

number of wave crest the person surf in one hour = 240/30 = 8

A horse walks along a straight path. it travels 3 in one second, 4 m in the next second, and 5 m in the third second. describe t
Temka [501]

Answer: The horse is moving with a uniform acceleration

Explanation:

According to the described situation, we are dealing with a <u>constant acceleration</u> (also called <u>uniform acceleration</u>), since the horse's velocity is changingn by a constant rate.

Let's prove it:

Firstly we are told the horse follows a straight path. In addition we are given its velocity:

3 m/s, then 4 m/s and 5 m/s

Since acceleration a is defined as the change of velocity in time we can calculate it:

a\frac{4 m/s-3 m/s}{1 s}=1m/s^{2} This is the horse's constant acceleration
