This imply that the force applied by the gravity of the earth on the person, is equal to the force applied by the person on the earth.

According to the Newton's third law, for every force there is an equal reaction force, in the case of person standing on the earth, the gravity of the earth pulls the person by the same magnitude as the force applied by the person on the earth (which is equal to the weight of the person)..

A stationary block resting on the ground is pulled up with a tension force of 100N, but does not leave the ground.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The normal force the ground exerts on the block, F = -300 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The block pulled up with a tension force, T = 100 N

The weight of the block, W = 300 N

The weight of the block is due to the force of attraction of gravitation.

The surface exerts a force that is equal and opposite to the force acting on the block due to gravitation.

The weight of the block,

                                  W = mg

                                          300 N

The normal force the ground exerts on the block,

                                  F = - mg

                                    = - 300 N

Hence, the normal force the ground exerts on the block, F = -300 N

Answer:

The ascending order would be 2nd < 1st < 3rd

Explanation:

Generally the the Normal force is mathematically represented as

                      Normal \ Force  = Fsin \theta

=>                    Normal \ Force \  \alpha  \  sin \theta

For the first drawing  the value   \theta is between that of the the second and the third drawing so the Normal force would also be between the normal forces of the second and the third drawing

For the second drawing whose value of \theta is less than that of the first and the third the normal force would also be less than that of the first and third

For the the third drawing whose value is (90°) which is higher than the first and the second the normal force would also be higher than the first and the second

An astronaut working with many tools some distance away from a spacecraft is stranded when the "maneuvering unit" malfunctions.
N76 [4]

Answer:

He can return to the spacecraft by sacrificing some of the tools employing the principle of conservation of momentum.

Explanation:

By carefully evaluating his direction back to the ship, the astronaut can throw some of his tools in the opposite direction to that. On throwing those tools of a certain mass, they travel at a certain velocity giving him velocity in the form of recoil in the opposite direction of the velocity of the tools. This is same as a gun and bullet recoil momentum conservation. It is also the principle on which the operational principles of their maneuvering unit is designed.
