Answer:
B. The truck and mosquito exert the same size force on each other.
Explanation:
Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that
"When an object A exerts a force (action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"
In this case, we can call
object A = the truck
object B = the mosquito
Thereforce according to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the truck on the mosquito is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the mosquito on the truck (and in opposite direction).
The reason for which the mosquito will experience much more damage is the fact that the mosquito's mass is much smaller than the truck's mass, and since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass:
the mosquito will experience a much larger deceleration than the truck, therefore much more damage.
Explanation :
The forces acting on hot- air balloon are:
Weight, (W)
Force due to air resistance, (F)
Upthrust force, (U)
Its weight W is acting in downward direction. The upthrust force U acts in upward direction. When the balloon is moving upward, the air resistance is in downward and vice versa.
In this case, the hot-air balloon descends vertically at constant speed.
so, 
and 
so, 
....................(1)
when it is ascending let the weight that it is releasing is R, so
..........(2)
solving equation (1) and (2)
2F is the weight of material that must be released from the balloon so that it ascends vertically at the same constant speed.
Answer:
the rate of acceleration of the train is 4 m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the train, u = 10 m/s
change in time of motion, dt = 5 s
final velocity of the train, v = 30 m/s
The rate of acceleration of the train is calculated as;
Therefore, the rate of acceleration of the train is 4 m/s²
Answer:
Since the distance between the pivot and its weight is zero, the moment of its weight about the pivot (= weight × 0) is zero. Hence, the weight of the ruler can be ignored.

Answer:
A person climbs a set of stairs
Explanation:
Potential energy is said to be possessed by an object due to its position. As the height from the ground level increase, the potential energy increases. It is calculated by the below formula as :
P = mgh
Out of the given options, the option that illustrates an increase in potential energy is option (b) i.e. a person climbs a set of stairs. As he steps one stair, its position from ground increases. It means its potential energy increases.
