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.

If the current in a wire is directed upward, what is the direction of the magnetic field produced by the current?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

B. counterclockwise

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the right-hand rule:

- put your thumb finger of the right hand in the same direction of the current in the wire (upward)

- wrap the other fingers around the thumb

- the direction of the other fingers will give the direction of the magnetic field lines

By doing these steps, we see that the other fingers form concentric circles in a counterclockwise direction (seen from above), so this is the direction of the magnetic field lines.

What happens if the air pressure in your throat and outside body is less than the air pressure in your middle ear when you swall
andrezito [222]

Answer:

When the air pressure in the throat and outside the body is less than the air pressure in the middle ear, barotrauma occurs.

Explanation:

Ear barotrauma is a medical condition that describes discomfort in the ear which is caused by pressure differences in the inner and outer ear drum.

Usually, the air pressure in the middle ear is the same as the air pressure in the throat and outside the body.

When we swallow, the eustachian tube opens up and air flows out of and into the middle ear, this balances the pressure. But if the eustachian tube is blocked, the air pressure in the throat and outer body become different from the air pressure in the middle ear.

Ezekiel pushes a 34 kg sled with 101 N for 8.0 m. How much work did he do on the sled?
Simora [160]

Answer: 810 J

Explanation: work W = F·s = 101 N · 8.0 m = 808 J

Force F = u mg = 101 N in which u is friction constant. Also mass is included in force.
