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.

How are types of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum defined?
Drupady [299]
It is defined by their wavelength. Different colors have different wavelengths. For example, radio waves have a really long wavelength, whereas gamma-rays have a very short wavelength.

The 480 g bar is rotating as shown what is the angular momentum of the bar about the axle?
Greeley [361]
On a similar problem wherein instead of 480 g, a 650 gram of bar is used:

Angular momentum L = Iω, where 
<span>I = the moment of inertia about the axis of rotation, which for a long thin uniform rod rotating about its center as depicted in the diagram would be 1/12mℓ², where m is the mass of the rod and ℓ is its length. The mass of this particular rod is not given but the length of 2 meters is. The moment of inertia is therefore </span>
<span>I = 1/12m*2² = 1/3m kg*m² </span>

<span>The angular momentum ω = 2πf, where f is the frequency of rotation. If the angular momentum is to be in SI units, this frequency must be in revolutions per second. 120 rpm is 2 rev/s, so </span>
<span>ω = 2π * 2 rev/s = 4π s^(-1) </span>

<span>The angular momentum would therefore be </span>
<span>L = Iω </span>
<span>= 1/3m * 4π </span>
<span>= 4/3πm kg*m²/s, where m is the rod's mass in kg. </span>

<span>The direction of the angular momentum vector - pseudovector, actually - would be straight out of the diagram toward the viewer. </span>

<span>Edit: 650 g = 0.650 kg, so </span>
<span>L = 4/3π(0.650) kg*m²/s </span>
<span>≈ 2.72 kg*m²/s</span>

A gardener mows a lawn with an old-fashioned push mower. The handle of the mower makes an angle of 320 with the surface of the l
Virty [35]

Answer:

N = 337.96 N

Explanation:

∅ = 32º

F = 249 N

m = 21 Kg

N = ?

We can apply:

∑ F = 0  (↑)

- Fy - W + N = 0   ⇒    N = Fy + W

⇒  F*Sin ∅ + m*g = N

⇒  N = (249 N*Sin32º) + (21 Kg*9.81 m/s²)

⇒  N = 337.96 N  (↑)

the weight of 80 kg of mass on mercury is 296 N and almost identical to the weight of the same mass on Mars but mercury has much
Dmitrij [34]
Where Gravity rely's on only mass and distance and nothing else, so the weight on the planets will vary like you have stated. However Mars is smaller than Mercury, so the weight on Mars will be less, and the weight on Mercury will be more. Think this way.

More Mass = More Gravity = More Weight

Less Mass = Less Gravity = Less Weight
