Answer:

\vec F_{action} + \vec F_{reaction} = 0

\vec F_{action} = - \vec F_{reaction}

so it is said that every action has equal and opposite reaction

Explanation:

This is newton's III law which states that if some force is applied in the form of action force to an object then the same magnitude force is applied by the object on the source in reverse direction

so we can say that the reaction force is always applied by object in opposite direction

so in vector form we can say

\vec F_{action} + \vec F_{reaction} = 0

\vec F_{action} = - \vec F_{reaction}

so it is said that every action has equal and opposite reaction

A train starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s with a uniform acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. What is the final velocity of the train?
Vikentia [17]
We know v=u +at
Here u = 0
a= 1.5 units
t= 5 s
So v= 5×1.5 m/s = 7.5 m/s

Astronauts who traveled to the moon were able to float slightly as they walked along its surface. Why were the astronauts able t
timurjin [86]

Answer: The weight of the astronaut on earth is greater than his weight on the moon.

Explanation:

The reason I got this answer is because the astronaut will have the same mass on the moon as he does on earth. Also the weight of a person or object is determined by gravity. So since the moons gravity isn’t as strong as earths gravity the astronauts are lighter in terms of weight, and this is how they slightly float.

A 2,000 kg car starts from rest and coasts down from the top of a 5.00 m long driveway that is sloped at an angel of 20o with th
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The speed at the bottom of the driveway is3.67m/s.

Explanation:

Height,h= 5sin20°= 1.71m

Potential energy PE=mgh= 2000×9.8×1.71

PE= 33516J

KE= PE- Fk ×d

0.5mv^2= 33516 - (4000×5)

0.5×2000v^2= 33516 - 20000

1000v^2= 13516

v^2= 13516/1000

v =sqrt 13.516

v =3.67m/s
