Answer:

Hello!

I could help you on this ^^

Explanation:

Newton’s Third Law of Motion states, “When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second one exerts a force on the first that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.”

-This law is sometimes called the “Law of Action and Reaction”.

-Even though the forces are equal in magnitude (strength) and opposite in direction, they do not cancel each other.

This law addresses two objects, each with only one force exerted on it.

-Each object is exerting one force on the other object.

-Each object is experiencing only one force.

The action and reaction forces are reciprocal (opposite) on an object.

<u>Examples may include:</u>

<u>A swimmer swimming forward:</u>

The swimmer pushes against the water (action force), the water pushes back on the swimmer (reaction force) and pushes her forward.

<u>A ball is thrown against a wall:  </u>

The ball puts a force on the wall (action force), and the wall puts a force on the ball (reaction force) so the ball bounces off.

<u>A person is diving off a raft:</u>

The person puts a force on the raft (action force) pushing it, and the raft puts a force on the diver (reaction force) pushing them in the opposite direction.

A person pushes against a wall (action force), and the wall exerts an equal and opposite force against the person (reaction force).

(Not my words)

"The Space Shuttle engines push out hot gases (action force), and the hot gases put a force on the shuttle engines (reaction force) so the shuttle lifts (there is no sling shot doing it)"

In an experiment involving pendulums, you want to see how changing the mass of the bob affects the period (amount of time) of a
Alborosie

Answer:

The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.

What will happen to this current if a magnet is brought near the cord? A. It will exert a force on the voltage. B. The electric
Andreyy89

Answer:

The correct answer is D)

Explanation:

When an electric magnet is brought near a cord with an electric current, the cord will most likely deflect away from the magnet because electric fields flowing through a wire generates its own magnetic field.

Cheers!
