When a swimmer pushes threw water to swim they are propelled forward because of the water resistance against the hand and feet.

The correct answer to the question is that water will exert a force on the swimmer in forward direction, and swimmer will move along that direction.

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand Newton's third laws of motion.

Newton's third laws of motion states that, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In the given question, the swimmer pushes the water in backward direction. This is the force of action. As per Newton's third law, the water must exert a reaction on the swimmer. The water applies a force on the swimmer in forward direction for which the swimmer can swim in the water.

Why did boy (the observer) hear the pitch of the sound change? What does this tell us about the frequency of the sound? Support

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

<u>because of the doppler effect</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember</em>, the doppler effect refers to the changes in sound (frequency of sound) observed by a person who is in a position relative to the wave source.

In this example, we notice as the train comes closer to the boy, the sound becomes louder also increasing the pitch slightly, the doppler effect sets in when the train passes the boy because the boy notices a decrease in the pitch of the moving train.

We learn from the change in the observed sound of the train that the frequency of the sound is determined by the distance of the observer from the wave source.

In other words, the closer the source of the sound to the observer; the faster it travels to the observer, however, the farther it is; the lesser it is; the greater the sound heard.

Answer:

11:10 will be the time. reflection causes the object to be flipped when you see its image at the mirror

A farmer hitches her tractor to a sled loaded with firewood and pulls it a distance

Delvig [45]

(a) The work done by the force applied by the tractor is 79,968.47 J.

(b) The work done by the frictional force on the tractor is 55,977.93 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

The work done by the force applied by the tractor is calculated as follows;

W = Fd cosθ

W = (5000 x 20) x cos(36.9)

W = 79,968.47 J

<h3>Work done by frictional force</h3>

W = Ffd cosθ

W = (3500 x 20) x cos(36.9)

W = 55,977.93 J

<h3>Net work done by all the forces on the tractor</h3>

W(net) = work done by applied force - work done by friction force

W(net) = 79,968.47 J - 55,977.93 J

W(net) = 23,990.54 J

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter is about 2.5 times the acceleration due to gravity on Earth’s surface.

Ann [662]

Answer: The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Weight = Mass × Acceleration

Let the mass of the space probe be m

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth = g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W

$W=m\times g$

Acceleration due to gravity on the Jupiter = g' = 2.5g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W'

$W'=mg'=m\times 2.5g$

$\frac{W'}{W}=\frac{m\times 2.5g}{m\times g}$

$W'=2.5\times W$

The weight of the space probe on the Jupiter will be 2.5 times the weight of the space probe on earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.
