Krista is playing tennis at the park. When the tennis ball flies toward her, Krista hits the ball with her racket, which causes

the ball to fly in the opposite direction. According to Newton's third law of motion, which of the following is true?A. When the racket hits the tennis ball with a force, the ball does not apply any reaction force to the racket.
B. When the racket hits the tennis ball with a force, the tennis ball applies an equal but opposite force to the racket.
C. When the racket hits the tennis ball with a force, the ball applies a much weaker force in the opposite direction of the racket's force.
D. When the racket hits the tennis ball with a force, the ball applies an equal force in the same direction as the racket's force.

Answer:

B. When the racket hits the tennis ball with a force, the tennis ball applies an equal but opposite force to the racket.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's third law of motion every action has equal and opposite reaction. So, when the force is applied by the racket on the ball then the ball also applies an equal intensity of force in the opposite direction on the racket. It is just that the the force on the racket is absorbed by the player holding it.

What forces are being used when walking a dog and how ?

There are tons of forces that balance out on your body while you walk. Subsequent physics classes will tell you about each and how they are represented. Here are a few in order of how people usually learn them.

Gravity: The earth exerts a gravitational force on each particle in your body that has mass. Overall, this can be represented as a single force that pulls directly toward the center of the earth from the point called your center of mass.

Normal Force: The contact between your feet/shoes and the ground exerts a force normal (straight out from) the ground. If you are on flat ground, this force is directly opposite the force of gravity, and in most cases will be equal to it such that you have no vertical net force.

Friction: Friction between your shoes/feet and the ground, pointing parallel to the ground and in the direction of your walking motion creates the force necessary for you to move. The microscopic peaks and valleys of the ground and your feet/shoes create small normal forces that can sum into a direction of motion.

Air Buoyancy: Since you are in a fluid, the mass of the fluid you displace creates an upward force away from the center of the earth. Since the density of air is miniscule, this force is generally neglected except in the most precise of circumstances.

Drag and Air resistance: While you walk, as you move through a fluid, that fluid exerts friction on your body in the form of drag. It is usually small unless you’re moving very fast relative to the fluid.

Air pressure, blood pressure, body tensions: Your body has a balance of blood pressure, muscle tensions, which oppose outside air pressures which equalize out to form the shape your body is in.

Internal forces: Many forces act within you such as air pressure, other muscle tensions, and internal stresses which balance out. Usually in physics these are lumped under internal forces.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

according to einstein's formulae E=mc2  1kg of mass is equivalent to (9joules  when rounded off )

in this situation we ignore the bridge height and work hand in hand with the relativity and force

so...if you do the conversion you will find the suitable answer which is 16.9J

A rectangular block weighs 240 N. the area of the block in contact with the floor is 20 cm2.calculate the pressure on the floor(
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

12 N/cm²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Area (A) = 20 cm²

Pressure (P) =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted by the block. This can be obtained as follow:

Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Force (F) =.?

Weight and force has the same unit of measurement. Thus, we force applied is equivalent to the weight of the block. Thus,

Force (F) = Weight (W) of block = 240 N

Force (F) = 240 N

Finally, we shall determine the pressure on the floor as follow:

Force (F) = 240 N

Area (A) = 20 cm²

Pressure (P) =?

P = F/A

P = 240 / 20

P = 12 N/cm²

Therefore, the pressure on the floor is 12 N/cm².

When an oxygen atom forms an ion, it gains two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the oxygen ion? A. +2 B. -1 C. -2 D.
Alecsey [184]
C. 2-

electrons have a negative charge, thus adding two electrons to an atom will give it a charge of 2 times -1 or -2
