Which body exerts the force that propels the sprinter, the blocks or the sprinter?

Physics
1 answer:
kicyunya [14]3 years ago
5 0
Answer: The blocks

Explanation:
When the sprinter takes off, he/she presses hard on the block.
The blocks apply an equal and opposite force to the sprinter according to Newton's 3rd law of motion.
The reaction force from the blocks gives the sprinter the initial acceleration to begin the race.

Given parameters:

Mass on earth  = 50kg

Unknown:

Mass on planet Xenon = ?

Weight on planet Xenon = ?

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a particular substance.

Weight is the force on a body and it is derived from the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

         Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Planet Xenon has half the gravitational force of Earth.

 This translated gives \frac{9.8}{2}   = 4.9m/s²

Now, mass is always the same every where if the amount of matter in a substance does not change.

In this problem, mass = 50kg on planet xenon.

Weight =  mass x acceleration due to gravity  = 50 x 4.9  = 245N

The weight on Xenon is 245N and the mass is 50kg

If two bicycles of same masses move at different velocities,it will be easier to stop the bicycle that is moving at lower veloci
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

It is easier to stop the bicycle moving at a lower velocity because it will require a <em>smaller force</em> to stop it when compared to a bicycle with a higher velocity that needs a<em> bigger force.</em>

Explanation:

The question above is related to "Newton's Law of Motion." According to the <em>Third Law of Motion</em>, whenever an object exerts a force on another object <em>(action force)</em>, an equal force is exerted against it. This force is of the same magnitude but opposite direction.

When it comes to moving bicycles, the force that stops their movement is called "friction." Applying the law of motion, the higher the speed, the higher the force<em> </em>that is needed to stop it while the lower the speed, the lower the force<em> </em>that is needed to stop it.

Why does the current is reduced as electrons move through a conductor
hammer [34]
Because the electrons collide with the particles inside the conductor so are therefore slowed down seen as current is the rate of flow of electrons
