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.

you are about to work some magic with matter. you have a rectangular cube of matter in its solid state. it measures 3 in x 4 in

Elenna [48]

In solid and liquid the matter can occupy the 90 in³ and 157.1 in³ volume.

The matter in gaseous state can be expanded to occupy the volumes of the container.

<h3>Volume of each of the container</h3>

The volume of each of the container is calculated as follows;

<h3>Volume of the rectangular container</h3>

V = 5 in x 6 in x 3 in

V = 90 in³

<h3>Volume of the cylindrical container</h3>

V = πr²h

V = (π)(2.5 in)²(8 in)

V = 157.1 in³

<h3>Volume of the matter</h3>

Vm = 3 in x 4 in x 5 in

Vm = 60 in³

<h3>Matter in solid and liquid state</h3>

Matter has fixed volume in solid and liquid state.

In solid and liquid the matter can occupy the 90 in³ and 157.1 in³ volume.

<h3>Matter in gaseous state</h3>

Matter has no definite volume in gaseous state.

The matter in gaseous state can be expanded to occupy the volumes of the container.

yarga [219]

Answer:

a. F = 2.32*10^-18 N

b. The force F is 2.59*10^11 times the weight of the electron

Explanation:

a. In order to calculate the magnitude of the force exerted on the electron you first calculate the acceleration of the electron, by using the following formula:

$v^2=v_o^2+2ax$ (1)
