Bill and Karen go to the ice-skating rink. Bill has twice the mass of Karen. While they are standing still and talking, suddenly

Bill pushes Karen backward. What can you say about the forces between Bill and Karen?
Physics

Answer:

forces acting on the two will be equal and opposite in  nature according to Newton's third law of motion.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of Karen, m (let)

then, mass of Bill, 2m

When they are standing near one another and suddenly Bill pushes Karen then this can be treated as elastic collision and the conservation of momentum applies as:

Sum of final and initial momentum of the system is zero.

m.v_k-2m.v_b=0

2v_b=-v_k

v_b=-\frac{v_k}{2}

But the forces acting on the two will be equal and opposite in  nature according to Newton's third law of motion.

How long will it take an object to hit the ground if dropped from 100 meters
mash [69]

Answer:

The answer depends on what object you are dropping. Are you dropping a balloon or a car? (I'm joking 'bout that one.) If the mass of the object is very little, then it might drop slower. If the mass is bigger, then it might drop faster.

Good luck!

Prove the three laws of motion​
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The first law, also called the law of inertia, was pioneered by Galileo. This was quite a conceptual leap because it was not possible in Galileo's time to observe a moving object without at least some frictional forces dragging against the motion. In fact, for over a thousand years before Galileo, educated individuals believed Aristotle's formulation that, wherever there is motion, there is an external force producing that motion.

The second law, $ f(t)=m\,a(t)$ , actually implies the first law, since when $ f(t)=0$ (no applied force), the acceleration $ a(t)$ is zero, implying a constant velocity $ v(t)$ . (The velocity is simply the integral with respect to time of $ a(t)={\dot v}(t)$ .)

Newton's third law implies conservation of momentum [138]. It can also be seen as following from the second law: When one object ``pushes'' a second object at some (massless) point of contact using an applied force, there must be an equal and opposite force from the second object that cancels the applied force. Otherwise, there would be a nonzero net force on a massless point which, by the second law, would accelerate the point of contact by an infinite amount.

An example of a high explosive is what?
nordsb [41]
The answer is Dynamite.
Explosive, any substance or device that can be made to produce a volume of rapidly expanding gas in an extremely brief period. Chemical explosives are of two types; detonating, or high explosives and deflagrating, or low, explosives. Detonating explosives, such as TNT and dynamite, are characterized by extremely rapid decomposition and development of high pressure, whereas deflagrating explosives, such as black and smokeless powders, involve merely fast burning and produce relatively low pressures.
