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.

The acceleration vector of a particle in projectile motion ________.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Points downward, and its magnitude is 9.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform horizontal motion, with constant velocity and zero acceleration. In fact, there are no forces acting on the projectile along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the acceleration along this direction is zero.

- A vertical motion, with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground (downward), due to the presence of gravity wich "pulls" the projectile downward.

The total acceleration of the projectile is given by the resultant of the horizontal and vertical components of the acceleration. But we said that the horizontal component is zero, therefore the total acceleration corresponds just to its vertical component, therefore it is a vector with magnitude 9.8 m/s^2 which points downward.

Over many years a limestone surface is exposed to slightly acidic rain. Which result is likely to occur in the limestone
kvasek [131]

Answer:

calcium carbonate is transformed into calcium sulfate

Explanation:

Limestone stones are formed by calcium carbonate (Ca Co3), when acid rain falls with a little H2SO2, a chemical reaction of the type

          Ca Co3 + H2SO4 → CO2 + H2O + CaSo4

Calcium sulfate is much weaker than alatium carbonate, which is why the stone tends to break under its weigh

Why do faults often occur along plate boundaries?
Slav-nsk [51]
Earthquakes can also occur far from the edges of plates, along faults. Faults<span> are cracks in the earth where sections of a plate (or two plates) are moving in different directions. Faults are caused by all that bumping and sliding the plates do. They are more common near the edges of the plates.</span>

A bomb at rest at the origin of an xy-coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of mass
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) It is given that bomb was at rest initially , so ,  its momentum before the explosion was zero.

b ) We shall apply law of conservation of momentum along x and y direction separately because no external force acts on the bomb.

If v be the velocity of the third part along a direction making angle θ

with x axis ,

x component of v = vcosθ

So momentum along x axis  after explosion of third part   = mv cosθ

= 10 v cosθ

Momentum along x of first part = -  5 x 42 m/s

momentum of second part along x direction =0

total momentum along x direction before explosion = total momentum along x direction after explosion

0 = - 5 x 42 + 10 v cosθ

v cosθ = 21

Similarly

total momentum along y direction before explosion = total momentum along y direction after explosion

0 = - 5 x 38 +  10 v sinθ

v sinθ= 21

squaring and and then adding the above equation

v² cos²θ +v² sin²θ = 21² +19²

v² = 441 + 361

v = 28.31 m/s

Tanθ = 21 / 19

θ = 48°
