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.

A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure, where there is a uniform electric field between
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer : 4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field strength, E=2.55\times 10^{4}\ N/C

We know that,

Charge of electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Mass of electron, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

From the definition of electric field, F=qE...............(1)

According to Newton's second law, F = ma..........(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

ma=qE

a=\dfrac{qE}{m}

a=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 2.55\times 10^{4}\ N/C }{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}

a=0.4483\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2

or

a=4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2

So, the horizontal component of acceleration of an electron is 4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2.

Hence, it is the required solution.

A uniform disk has a moment of inertia that is (1/2)MR2. A uniform disk of mass 13 kg, thickness 0.3 m, and radius 0.2 m is loca
kicyunya [14]
The angular momentum of an object is equal to the product of its moment of inertia and angular velocity.
L = Iω
I = 1/2 MR²
I = 1/2 x 13 x (0.2)
I = 1.3

ω = 2π/t
ω = 2π/0.3
ω = 20.9

L = 1.3 x 20.9
= 27.2 kgm²/s
