Why are the action and reaction forces described by Newton’s third law of motion excluded in the free-body diagram of an object?

The correct answer is:

B. They act on different objects, so they would not appear together.

Let's take for example a box sitting on a table. If we draw the free-body diagram of the box, we would draw two forces:

- the weight of the box (downward)

- the normal reaction of the table on the box (upward)

However, this is not a pair of action-reaction forces as described in Newton's third law. In fact, the correct action-reaction pair would be:

- weight of the box (=gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the box)

- gravitational force exerted by the box on the Earth

We see that these two forces act on two different objects (the first one on the box, the second one on the Earth), so they do not appear in the same free-body diagram.

The quantity of matter in an object. More specifically, it is the measure of the inertia that an object exhibits in response to
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

The mass of an object expresses the amount of matter it comprises. Which implies that objects with higher mass contains higher matter compared to objects with lesser masses. Thereby it determines the measure of inertia experienced by an object when a force is applied to change its direction of motion, or to set it in motion when at rest, or bring it to rest when in motion.

The mass of an object the same no matter its location, and it is measured in kilograms.

A uniform rod of length 50cm and mass 0.2kg is placed on a fulcrum at a distance of 40cm from the left end of the rod. At what d
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

x = 45 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a rod, L = 50 cm

Mass, m₁ = 0.2 kg

It is at 40cm from the left end of the rod.

We need to find the distance from the left end of the rod should a 0.6kg mass be hung to balance the rod.

The centre of mass of the rod is at 25 cm.

Taking moments of both masses such that,

15\times 0.2=x\times 0.6\\\\x=\drac{3}{0.6}\\\\x=5\ cm

The distance from the left end is 40+5 = 45 cm.

Hence, at a distance of 45 cm from the left end it will balance the rod.
