Answer:

The Moon Pulls on Earth, and Earth pulls back on the moon.

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion describes action and reaction forces. It tells that an object applies an action force on another and another object also exerts a reaction force on the first object. Both the action and reaction forces are of equal magnitude but they act in opposite direction.

Option (A) is an example of action- reaction pair i.e. "The Moon Pulls on Earth, and Earth pulls back on the moon". Earth exerts a gravitational force on the Moon. The gravitational pull of the Earth on the Moon is much more stronger than the pull of Moon on the Earth.

So, the correct option is (A).

Ratling [72]

In an inelastic collision, only momentum is conserved, while energy is not conserved.

1) Velocity of the nail and the block after the collision
This can be found by using the total momentum after the collisions:
$p_f=(m+M)v_f=4.8 kg m/s$
where
m=0.1 kg is the mass of the nail
M=10 kg is the mass of the block of wood
Rearranging the formula, we find $v_f$ , the velocity of the nail and the block after the collision:
$v_f= \frac{p_f}{m+M}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg+10 kg}= 0.48 m/s$

2) The velocity of the nail before the collision can be found by using the conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision is given only by the nail (since the block is at rest), and it must be equal to the total momentum after the collision:
$p_i = mv_i = p_f$
Rearranging the formula, we can find $v_i$ , the velocity of the nail before the collision:
$v_i = \frac{p_f}{m}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg}=48 m/s$

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Low pressure systems typically arrive with storms and clouds. Air motion is usually upwards, as heated are is less dense and more buoyant than cooler air. A high pressure system is typically cooler than its counter-part, and skies are usually clear. Low pressure systems carry more water vapor due to rising hot air cooling and condensing.
