I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! Describe each Newton Law. :)
Alex

Explanation:

1st- states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. 

2nd- states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it. (most important law)

3rd- states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. (law of action/reaction)

Brrunno [24]

hi, so the material that would normally form mineral crystals does not have time to form a crystalline structure because of very rapid cooling after volcanically erupting into the air or onto the surface. Obsidian is a volcanic glass.

A 5 kilograms bowling ball is dropped out a window. It hits the ground, and bounces upward. The velocity change of the ball is n
ioda

Answer:

13.5

Explanation:

Mass: 5kg

Initial Velocity: -15

Final Velocity: 12

Force: 10

We can use the equation: Vf = Vi + at

We need to find acceleration, and we can use the equation, F=ma,

We have mass and the force so it would look like this, 10=5a, and 5 times 2 would equal 10, so acceleration would be 2.

Now we have all the variables to find time.

Back to Vf = Vi + at, plug the numbers in, 12 = -15 + 2(t)

Plugging them in into desmos gives 13.5 for time.

Gravitational forces is ------ force​
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Gravitational force is <u>noncontact</u> force

Explanation:

Contact force occurs due to the contact between two different objects. Non-contact force occurs due to either attraction or repulsion between two objects such that there is no contact between these objects. There is no field linked with the contact force. ... Gravitational force is an example of a non-contact force.
