Hi there

pushing on something that pushes back = action and reaction.

Gravity is non contact. Action at a distance. Hence stones wil fall if dropped.

A person kicks a 4.0-kilogram door with a 48-newton force causing the door to accelerate at 12 meters per second squared. What i
inna [77]

Answer:

-48 N

Explanation:

mass of door (m) = 4 kg

acceleration of the door = 12 m/s^{2}

force exerted by the person = 48 N

From Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal but opposite. Therefore the force exerted on the door by the person which is 48 N will be the same as the force exerted on the person by the door but opposite in its direction, and this would be - 48 N

A drunken sailor stumbles 550 meters north, 500 meters northeast, then 450 meters northwest. What is the total displacement and
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Resultant displacement = 1222.3 m

Angle is 88.3 degree from +X axis.

Explanation:

A = 550 m north

B = 500 m north east

C = 450 m north west

Write in the vector form

A = 550 j

B = 500 (cos 45 i + sin 45 j ) = 353.6 i + 353.6 j

C = 450 ( - cos 45 i + sin 45 j ) = - 318.2 i + 318.2 j

Net displacement is given by

R = (353.6 - 318.2) i + (550 + 353.6 + 318.2) j

R = 35.4 i + 1221.8 j

The magnitude is

R = \sqrt{35.4^{2}+1221.8^{2}}R = 1222.3 m

The direction is given by

tan\theta =\frac{1221.8}{35.4}\\\\\theta = 88.3^{o}
