Answer:

The above given statement represent the Newton;'s 3rd law of motion.

This describes that when two objects collides or interacts with each other, there occurs a pair of forces that directly acts on the two colliding objects. The force exerted on both the sides are of equal magnitude.

For example, there are two contrasting body named M and N, which collides with each other. This collision results in the occurrence of force acting on both the objects. The body M exerts a force on body N and similarly, the body N exerts a force on body M, and this two forces are equal in amount.

At what speed does a falling hailstone travel? Does the speed depend on the distance that the hailstone falls?

Anton [14]

Answer:The speed if hailstone dependly largely on its size. A hailstone with a diameter of 0.39 inches,falls wit a speed of 20mph while a hailstone with 3.1 inches in diameter falls at a speed of 110mph.

No speed does not depend on the distance that the hailstone falls.

Explanation: There are other factors that affect the speed of the falling hailstone apart from its size.They are:

1. Friction between the air and the hailstone

2. Wind condition( windy or moist air)

3. The rate at which it melts falling.

<span>When reading a buret, the initial reading should be taken from the top of the glassware and the final volume should still taken at the top. If the buret is completely, the initial volume for most buret would be zero. though, there are some where their initial starts at 50 decreasing to zero.</span>

Write the equation expressing the relationship "y varies directly as x." use k as the constant of proportionality.

Alexeev081 [22]

The equation expressing the statement "y varies directly as x" is $y=kx.$

Explanation

The statement that $y$ varies directly as $x$ is analogous to saying that the ratio of $y$ to $x$ is constant. In other words, when $x$ increases, $y$ likewise increases and that when $x$ decreases, $y$ decreases proportionally.

Mathematically, we express the relationship that the ration of $y$ is to $x$ is constant is expressed as; $\frac{y}{x} =k$ where $k$ is the constant of proportionality.
