For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. What does this phrase mean in Physics?

Physics

Trava [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The Term "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" is derived from Newton's third law of motion.

This can be explained by an example of a block placed on the flat surface.

The weight of the block applies an action force on the surface while Surface applies a reaction force on the block. Action and reaction force applies to different bodies other would have canceled each other. Action and reaction forces are always acting in pairs. The magnitude of reaction force depends upon the action forces as both of them are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

How does the distance traveled by the coin compare to its displacement after ten flips?
Mkey [24]

Answer:

To calculate displacement, simply draw a vector from your starting point to your final position and solve for the length of this line. If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then your displacement is 0. In physics, displacement is represented by Δs.

When does sea breeze occur
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the uneven  heating rates of water and land. The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the day.  At this rate, the air above the land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or replace the rising warm air.</span>

Answer:

Radio waves have a wavelength between 10^{-9}m and 10^{-12}m

While,

X rays have a wavelength between 1m and 10km.

=> It is one of the condition of diffraction that the obstacle (coming in the way) must be comparable with the size of the wavelength.

=> This shows, that radio waves have a wavelength which is comparable with the size of buildings and can really easily diffract through it

=> While, X-rays are big enough to diffract through the wall.

So, if an X-ray technician stands behind a wall during the use of her machine, she will remain safe.

Scuba divers are warned that if they must make a rapid ascent, they should exhale on the way up. If a diver rapidly ascends to t
Whitepunk [10]

Air for a diver comes out of a high pressure tank at - Same- pressure compared to the water around the diver (metered by the regulator).

This means the lungs are inflated with - Highly pressurized- gas.

This does not adversely affect the diver when deep underwater, because the entire environment around the diver is at -Same - pressure.

If the diver suddenly surface, the air in the alveoli in the lungs will still be at - a higher - pressure compared to the air around the diver, which will be at - a lower - pressure.

The gas in the diver's lungs will - expand - and can damage the alveoli.

Why does a Ray of light passing through a glass slab not shown dispersion?​
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

After refraction at two parallel faces of a glass slab, a ray of light emerges in a direction parallel to the direction of incidence of white light on the slab. As rays of all colours emerge in the same direction (of incidence of white light), hence there is no dispersion, but only lateral displacement.
