When the mover pushes the box, two equal forces result. explain why the box moves even though the forces are equal and opposite?

1 answer:

8 0

The reaction force from the box may be equal and opposite, but it does not act on the box, it acts on the person. The force exerted by the person is on the box. Therefore, despite the fact that the forces are equal and opposite, because they are not on the same object, motion occurs.

A scientist is examining an unknown solid. which procedure would most likely help determine a chemical property of the substance

asambeis [7]

Answer:

exposing it to a flame to see if it catches on fire

Explanation:

A chemical property is when the matter changes into a different substance. This is true when you expose it to a flame because if a substance is burned, it will change into a new substance. All the other options are examples of physical changes.

With an initial velocity of 20km per hour a car accelerated at 8m/s2 for 10s,what is the position of the car at the end of 10s

Dima020 [189]

initial velocity=u=20km/h=5.5m/s
Acceleration=a=8m/s^2
Time=t=10s

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=5.5(10)+\dfrac{1}{2}(8)(5.5)^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=55+4(5.5)^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=55+4(30.25)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=55+121$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=176m$

If a flea can jump straight up to a height of 0.550 m , what is its initial speed as it leaves the ground?

olga55 [171]

Let u = upward initial speed of the flea.

At the maximum height of h = 0.550 m, the vertical velocity is v = 0.
Therefore, from the formula
v² = u² - 2gh,
obtain
0 = u² - 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(0.55 m)
u² = 10.78 m²/s²
u = 3.283 m/s

Answer: The initial upward speed is 3.28 m/s (nearest thousandth)
