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.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.

In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.  

In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.

Does a rigid object in uniform rotation about a fixed axis satisfy the first and second conditions for equilibrium?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

a rigid object in uniform rotation about a fixed axis does not satisfy both the condition of equilibrium .

First condition of equilibrium is that net force on the body should be zero.

or F net = 0

A body under uniform rotation is experiencing a centripetal force all the time so F net ≠ 0

So first condition of equilibrium is not satisfied.

Second condition is that , net torque acting on the body  must be zero.

In case of a rigid object in uniform rotation , centripetal force is applied towards the centre ie  towards the  line joining the body under rotation with the axis .

F is along r

torque = r x F

= r F sinθ

θ = 0 degree

torque = 0

Hence 2nd condition is fulfilled.
