The equal and opposite force is the force of the stone's gravity pulling up on thy Earth.

<u>Explanation</u>:

                                      F_{AB} = - F_{BA}

  • When someone tosses a stone off a cliff, the force of gravity of Earth pulls down and the force of the stone's gravity pulls up on the Earth due to the equal and opposite reaction exerted between the Earth and the stone.
  • In Newton's third law, two important features are present. One is the force exerted on two bodies will have the same magnitude but opposite direction. The other feature is force is acting on two different objects.
  • This exerted force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction whereas the gravity exerts a downward force on a stone and upward force on an Earth which is opposite in direction.

a fan acquires a speed of 180 rpm in 4s, starting from rest. calculate the speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second startin
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

225 rpm

Explanation:

The angular acceleration of the fan is given by:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}

where

\omega_f is the final angular speed

\omega_i is the initial angular speed

\Delta t is the time interval

For the fan in this problem,

\omega_i = 0\\\omega_f = 180 rpm\\\Delta t=4 s

Substituting,

\alpha = \frac{180-0}{4}=45 rpm/s

Now we can find the angular speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second, so after t = 5 s. It is given by:

\omega' = \omega_i + \alpha t

where

\omega_i = 0\\\alpha = 45 rpm/s\\t = 5 s

Substituting,

\omega' = 0 + (45)(5)=225 rpm
