A student is sitting at rest in a chair. How does the force that the student exerts

Physics
1 answer:
jonny [76]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

the same magnitude but the opposite direction

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that there is always an equal and opposite reaction to every action. This means that the amount of force exerted upon an object is equal to the amount of force the object exerts but in an opposite direction.

This is the case in this scenario where a student sits at rest in a chair. The student is supplying the action force being exerted on the chair. According to the third law of Newton, the chair will exert the same size of force back in the student but in an opposite direction.

Hence, the force the chair exerts on the students compare with that of the student in the sense that they are the same magnitude (size) but the opposite directions.

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 112 feet tall with an initial velocity of 96 feet per second. The
nordsb [41]

Answer:

t=6.96s

Explanation:

From this exercise, our knowable variables are <u>hight and initial velocity </u>

v_{oy}=96ft/s

y_{o}=112ft

To find how much time does the <u>ball strike the ground</u>, we need to know that the final position of the ball is y=0ft

y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

0=112ft+(96ft/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(32.2ft/s^{2})t^{2}

Solving for t using quadratic formula

t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

a=-\frac{1}{2} (32.2)\\b=96\\c=112

t=-0.999s or t=6.96s

<u><em>Since time can't be negative the answer is t=6.96s</em></u>

Engineers are trying to improve a race car. Their goal is to increase the acceleration of the car using the same engine. Which c
Andru [333]

To increase the acceleration of the car using the same engine, the   mass of the car must be decreased.

<h3>What is Newton's first law of motion</h3>

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest or uniform motion in a straight line will continue in that path unless acted upon by an external force.

The first law is also called the law of inertia because it depends on the mass of the object. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia and more reluctant the object will be to move.

Thus, to increase the acceleration of the car using the same engine, the   mass of the car must be decreased.

a = F/m

A. How far does a 100-newton force have to move to do 1,000 joules
Aloiza [94]

Work done by a force is given as the product of force and the distance moved by the force.

<h3>What is work done?</h3>

Work done is the product of force and the distance moved by the the force.

  • Work done = Force × distance

Thus, distance required by the 100 N force is given as:

  • Distance = work done/force

Distance = 1000/100 = 10 m

Distance to be moved is 10 m.

Force applied = work done/ distance

Force applied by the hoist = 500/2

Force applied by the hoist = 250 N

Distance moved in one push-up = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Work done by the athlete after one push-up = 250 × 0.25 m

Work done by the athlete = 62.5 J

Distance moved by the force = 0 m

Work done = 500 × 0 = 0 N

Therefore, for work to be done, force has to move a distance.
