Newton's third law can be summarized as "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". In this problem, consider the action

of the entire Earth on a person standing at rest on the ground and the opposite reaction, where ‘action’ and ‘reaction’ are understood to mean ‘force’ and ‘reaction force’ What is the "equal and opposite" reaction force to the gravitational force of the Earth acting on the person?

Answer:

Action force: Would be the force of your feet against the Earth given by the weight defined as:

W = mg

Where g is a constat who represent the gravity g =9.8 m/s^2 in Earth

Reaction force: Would be the force of the Earth pushing against your feet. And on this case is represented by the normal force defined as:

N = \mu f_f

Where \mu represent the friction coefficient between the ground and the object.

And f_f the friction force.

If we don't have any other forces involved in the y axis we can conclude that:

W=N= mg

And as we can see we have that Action force = Reaction force

So then the third Law of Newton is satisfied.

Explanation:

For this case we have this:

Action force: Would be the force of your feet against the Earth given by the weight defined as:

W = mg

Where g is a constat who represent the gravity g =9.8 m/s^2 in Earth

Reaction force: Would be the force of the Earth pushing against your feet. And on this case is represented by the normal force defined as:

N = \mu f_f

Where \mu represent the friction coefficient between the ground and the object.

And f_f the friction force.

If we don't have any other forces involved in the y axis we can conclude that:

W=N= mg

And as we can see we have that Action force = Reaction force

So then the third Law of Newton is satisfied.

Your job is to lift 30 kgkg crates a vertical distance of 0.90 mm from the ground onto the bed of a truck. For related problem-s
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The number of crates is 84580.

Explanation:

mass, m = 30 kg

height, h = 0.9 mm  

Power, P = 0.5 hp = 0.5 x 746 W = 373 W

time, t = 1 minute = 60 s

Let the number of crates is n.

Power is given by the rate of doing work.

P = \frac{n m gh}{t}\\\373 =\frac{n\times 30\times9.8\times 0.9\times 10^{-3}}{60}\\\\n =84580

What material or device prevents the conducting of electricity?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

An insulator. You can see ceramic insulators on telephone poles and power poles if you look carefully. If you live in a city, somewhere in that city is a power station. The insulators are huge. They have to be. The currents are very large in many cases.

The engine of a 2000 kg Mercedes going up Pike’s Peak delivers energy to its drive wheel at the rate 100 kW . Neglecting air res
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Mass of Mercedes engine = 2000 Kg

Power delivered = 100 kW

angle made with horizontal = 30°

acceleration due to gravity =  10 m/s²

largest speed car can sustain = ?

we know,

Power = Force x velocity

P = F x v

P = mg sinθ x v

P = mg sin 30° x v

P = 0.5 mg  x v

v = \dfrac{100 \times 10^3}{0.5\times 2000 \times 10}

v = 10 m/s

hence, the maximum velocity is equal to v = 10 m/s

How much energy ( in joules ) is released when 0.06 kilograms of mercury is condensed to a liquid at the same temperature ?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

B. 17,705.1 J

Explanation:

The hear released when the mercury condenses into a liquid is given by:

Q=m \lambda_v

where

m = 0.06 kg is the mass of the mercury

\lambda_v is the latent heat of vaporization

For mercury, the latent heat of vaporization is \lambda_v = 296 kJ/kg, so the heat released during the process is:

Q=(0.06 kg)(296 kJ/kg)=17.76 kJ = 17,760 J

So, the closest option is

B. 17,705.1 J
