Answer:
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If the student doesn't push, nothing moves, is one student pushes, both move which is an example of newtons third law.
Explanation:
Answer:
d. The magnitude of the work done by the earth on the satellite is non zero
Explanation:
The work done is equal to the product of the force and the distance moved in the direction of the force, the force and the distance act perpendicular to one another, therefore no work is done in the circular motion of the movement of the earth.
Answer:
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
where
F is the net force on the object
m is its mass
a is its acceleration
In this problem:
F = 40 N is the force on the object
m = 2 kg is its mass
Therefore, the acceleration of the object is
Work = (force) x (distance)
1,008 J = (force) x (28 m)
Divide each side by 28m : (1,008 kg-m²/sec²) / (28 m) = force
Force = 36 kg-m/s² = 36 Newtons .
(about 8.1 pounds)
It doesn't matter what that force accomplishes.
It could be moving a brick, lifting a fish, or pushing a little red wagon.
In order to do 1,008 joules of work in 28 meters, it takes 36 N of force,
in the direction of the 28 meters.
