Newton's third law tells us that for every force there is an equal and opposite force.  This means that if Anna exerts a force of 20 Newtons on the box, the box exerts a force of 20 Newtons on Anna.

Answer:

The magnitude of the force exerted by the box on Anna is 20 newtons.

Explanation:

It is given that, Anna needs to move a box of paperback books across the room. If she applies a force of 20 newtons to the box. We need to find the magnitude of the force exerted by the box on Anna.

The force exerted by the box on Anna is 20 newtons but it acts in the opposite direction as per Newton's third law of motion. The third law of motion explains the impact of forces i.e. action and reaction force.

So, the magnitude of the force exerted by the box on Anna is also 20 newtons. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which statement is true?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A. Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.

Explanation:

A scalar quantity is one that consists of only a numerical value.

Speed is a scalar quantity because only the instantaneous value is indicated, for example the speedometer of a car that tells you your speed at the moment but not where you are going or in what direction are you going.

On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity. Because it is composed of a <u>magnitude and a direction</u>, for example 10m/s to the south is a velocity, and 10m/s is a speed.

A 2.0-kilogram ball traveling north at 4.0 meters per second collides head on with a 1.0-kilogram ball traveling south at 8.0 me
enyata [817]

Answer:

We know the momentum after the collision MUST be equal to the momentum BEFORE the collision.  

Momentum is a VECTOR quantity having both magnitude and direction.  The first ball has momentum P =m*v = 2*4 = 8 at 90degrees.  The second ball has momentum P = 1*8 = 8 at -90 or 270 degrees.  They sum to zero when you perform vector addition.

A certain type of laser emits light that has a frequency of 4.2 × 1014 Hz. The light, however, occurs as a series of short pulse
bogdanovich [222]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of the laser light, f=4.2\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Time, t=3.2\times 10^{-11}\ s

(a) Let \lambda is the wavelength of this light. It can be calculated as :

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4.2\times 10^{14}}

\lambda=7.14\times 10^{-7}\ m

or

\lambda=714\ nm

(b) Let n is the number of the wavelengths in one pulse. It can be calculated as :

n=f\times t

n=4.2\times 10^{14}\times 3.2\times 10^{-11}

n = 13440

Hence, this is the required solution.
