If the action force is the swimmer pushing water in the leftward direction, what is the reaction force?

Sphinxa [80]

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; action and reaction act on different bodies.
Here, the action force is in the leftward direction, so the reaction will be in the opposite direction.
If the action force is the swimmer pushing water in the leftward direction, then the reaction force is in the rightward direction.
And the reaction force will be given by the water on the swimmer.

Answer:

The reaction force is the water pushing the swimmer in the rightward direction.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

An iron nail is driven into a block of ice by a single blow of a hammer. The hammerhead has a mass of 0.5 kg and an initial spee

larisa [96]

Answer:

The ice melts mass is:

$m_g=7.6x10^{-3} g$

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy

$K_E = 1/2*m*v^2$

$K_E = 1/2*0.5kg*(3.2m/s)^2$

$K_E=2.56 kg*m^2/s^2$

Heat gained by ice= mass(g) x 80 cal

( 1 cal = 4.184 *10^7er or g cm^2/ sec^2)

Assuming no loss in heat, in the motion so both continue with temperature 0~C

To find so the mass (gm) of ice melted

$m_g= 1/2 *(0.5*1000)*(3.2m/s)^2* 100*100 / (80*4.184*10^7)$

$m_g=7.6x10^{-3} g$

Explain the difference between cool air and warm air

Naddik [55]

Answer: ok

Explanation:

The molecules in hot air are moving faster than the molecules in cold air. Because of this, the molecules in hot air tend to be further apart on average, giving hot air a lower density. That means, for the same volume of air, hot air has fewer molecules and so it weighs less.

Answer:

convection

Explanation:

Heat transfer by convection is caused by differences of temperature and density within a fluid.
