According to Newton's thirdlaw, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. When a comb is charged and held near small piec

es of paper, the comb exerts an electric force on the paper pieces and pulls them toward it. Why don't you observe the comb moving toward the paper pieces as well

Answer:

Due to the fact that the comb is in terms of mass bigger than pieces of paper

Explanation:

In terms of mass, the comb is way too bigger than the piece of paper so it is virtually impossible for it to move towards the pieces of paper

According to Newton third law action and reaction are equal and opposite

Mathematically

P=m*v

Where

P= impulse is Newton

m=mass of the body

V= velocity of the body

Now since the comb has a greater mass it will not move to the paper, else the paper must have to move to it.

A pickup truck and a hatchback car start at the same position. If the truck is moving at a constant 33.2m/s and the hatchback ca
love history [14]

Answer:

The pickup truck and hatchback will meet again at 440.896 m

Explanation:

Let us assume that both vehicles are at origin at the start means initial position is zero i.e. s_{o} = 0. Both the vehicles will cross each other at same time so we will make equations for both and will solve for time.

Truck:

v_{i} = 33.2 m/s, a = 0 (since the velocity is constant), s_{o} = 0

Using s =s_{o}+v_{i}t+1/2at^{2}

s = 33.2t .......... eq (1)

Hatchback:

a=5m/s^{2}, v_{i} = 0 m/s (since initial velocity is zero), s_{o} = 0

Using s =s_{o}+v_{i}t+1/2at^{2}

putting in the data we will get

s=(1/2)(5)t^{2}

now putting 's' value from eq (1)

2.5t^{2}-33.2t=0

which will give,

t = 13.28 s

so both vehicles will meet up gain after 13.28 sec.

putting t = 13.28 in eq (1) will give

s = 440.896 m

So, both vehicles will meet up again at 440.896 m.

-- The speed of light in air is very close to 3 x 10⁸ m/s.
Whatever the actual number is, it's equivalent to roughly
7 times around the Earth in 1 second.  So for this kind of
problem, you can assume that we see things at the same time
that they happen; don't bother worrying about how long it takes
for the light to reach you.

-- For sound, it's a different story.  Sound in air only travels at
about 340 m/s.  It takes sound almost 5 seconds to go 1 mile.

-- Now, the lightning and thunder happen at the same time.
The light travels to you at the speed of light, so you see the
lightning pretty much when it happens.  But the sound of the
thunder comes poking along at 340 m/s, and arrives AFTER
the sight of the lightning.

The length of time between the sight and the sound is about
99.9999% the result of the time it takes the sound to reach you.

If the thunder arrived at you 3 seconds after the light did, then
the sound traveled
        
                     (340 m/s) x (3 s) =  1,020 meters .
                                           
(about 0.63 of a mile)

(If you're worried about ignoring the time it takes
for the light to reach you ...

  It takes light  0.0000034 second to cover the same 1,020 meters,

so including it in the calculation would not change the answer.)
