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.

A very large sheet of insulating material has had an excess of electrons placed on it to a surface charge density of –3.00nC/m2
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: sheet of charge

Explanation:

a )

Since the charge is negative , potential will be negative near it . At a far point potential will be less negative. So potential will virtually increase on going away from the sheet . At infinity it will become almost zero. Electric field will be towards the plate , so potential will decrease towards the plate.

b ) The shape of equi -potential surface will be plane parallel to the sheet of charge because electric field will be perpendicular to the sheet of charge and almost uniform near the sheet of charge.   The equi- potential surface is always perpendicular to electric field.

C ) Electric field which is almost uniform near the sheet of charge is equal t the following

E = σ / ε₀ where  σ is charge density of surface and  ε₀ is permittivity of medium whose value is 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

E = 3 x 10⁻⁹ / 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

= .3389 x 10³

= 338.9 V / m

spacing between 1 V

= 1 / 338.9 m

= 2.95 X 10⁻3 m

= 2.95 mm.

calculate the period of a wave whose frequency is 5 Hertz and whose wavelength is one centimeter give your answer in a decimal f
olga2289 [7]
The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

       1 / (5 per second)  =  0.2 second .

The wavelength is irrelevant to the period.  But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

                   = (5 per second) x (1cm)  =  5 cm per second
