When asked to name all the forces on a marker sitting in equilibrium on a desk, a student responds: “Since the marker on the des

k is at rest, there are no forces
acting on it.” Why is this wrong? How would you restate it?

Answer:

The forces acting on the pen which is still on the table can have two forces acting on them.  The forces are gravitational force and the equal and opposite force to the gravitational forces.

The equal and opposite forces that is applied on the pen keeps the pen still on the table.

So, the statement that no force is applied on the pen which is kept still on the table is wrong as two forces are applied on the pen.

As both the forces are equal and opposite so it is cancelled and is still.

Calculate the mass of an object that has a momentum of 100kg x m/sec and velocity of 4 m/sec
lidiya [134]
P= mv

where p is momentum
m is mass
v is velocity

so it's given p= 100kgm/sec
v= 4m/s

so putting in the formula

100= m × 4

m = 25kg

Write down the conservation of momentum?​
otez555 [7]
Law of conservation of momentum states that when two objects collide with each other , the sum of their linear momentum always remains same or we can say conserved and is not effected by any action, reaction only in case is no external unbalanced force is applied on the bodies.
Let,
m
A
​
= Mass of ball A
m
B
​
= Mass of ball B
u
A
​
= initial velocity of ball A
u
B
​
= initial velocity of ball B
v
A
​
= Velocity after the collision of ball A
v
B
​
= Velocity after the collision of ball B
F
ab
​
= Force exerted by A on B
F
ba
​
= Force exerted by B on A
Now,
Change in the momentum of A= momentum of A after the collision - the momentum of A before the collision
= m

Rate of change of momentum A= Change in momentum of A/ time taken

Force exerted by B on A (F

In the same way,
Rate of change of momentum of B=

​

Force exerted by A on B (F

)=

​
=

Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, then,
F

​
b=−F

​
a [ ' -- ' sign is used to indicate that 1 object is moving in opposite direction after collision]

Using [i] and [ii] , we have

Finally we get,

This is the derivation of conservation of linear momentum.

How are Newton’s second and third laws of motion important to your everyday life?
Alexus [3.1K]

newton's second law states that an object accelerate only when there is a net force acting on  it. this law is important in studying motions where the speed increases at constant rate or decreases at constant rate.

newton's third law states that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction. this law helps in understanding why a person gets injured while punching a wall with some force.
