Answer: Option d

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, for every force "P" that is applied on an object there is a force -P that has the same maginitud that "P" and opposite direction.

In other words "for every action there is an  equal and opposite reaction"

For example, if Object D applies a force "P" on an object B, then object B will make a force -P on object D.

This force is called the reaction force.

Therefore when the swimmer pushes the wall, then the wall pushes the swimmer with a force of the same magnitude that is called the reaction force.

How do fossils provide evidence of continental drift?
Alex777 [14]
C explanation: There are many examples of fossils found on separate continents and nowhere else, suggesting the continents were once joined.

If a nearsighted person has a far point df that is 3.50 m from the eye, what is the focal length f1 of the contact lenses that t
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

f1 = -3.50 m

Explanation:

For a nearsighted person an object at infinity must be made to  appear  to be at his far point which is 3.50 m away. The image of an object at infinity must be formed on the same side of the lens as the object.

∴ v = -3.5 m

Using mirror formula,

i/f1 = 1/v + 1/u

Where f1 = focal length of the contact lens, v = image distance = -3.5 m, u =         object distance = at infinity(∞) = 1/0

∴ 1/f1 = (1/-3.5) + 1/infinity

  Note that, 1/infinity = 1/(1/0) = 0/1 =0.

∴ 1/f1 = 1/(-3.5) + 0

  1/f1 = 1/(-3.5)

Solving the equation by finding the inverse of both side of the equation.

∴ f1 = -3.50 m

 Therefore a converging lens of focal length  f1 = -3.50 m

would be needed by the person to see an object at infinity clearly

Arturiano [62]

A heavy weight suspended within a moving box needs to overcome inertia, resulting in a slight delay in the motion of the weight after the box moves. <u>Option B.</u>

<u />

The principle underlying the construction of a seismometer is to have a heavy weight suspended from a spring on a pedestal or inside a movable box. A seismograph is an instrument that records and measures the details of an earthquake. A seismograph uses a seismograph to record data.

Elastic deformation bends an object, whereas repulsion returns it to its original shape. This instrument is nothing more than an oscillating rod or pendulum that begins to vibrate when a tremor occurs. The vibration system has a pin. The pen records seismic waves on a sheet of paper that moves underneath. By studying these waves scientists can create a complete map of earthquakes.
