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.

irina1246 [14]

Answer & Explanation:

Crashing into the asteroid would cause the satellite to slow down, stop, or reverse direction, because it is a force in the opposite direction to the satellite's motion. Whichever crash was a stronger force would cause it to change motion more. It takes a stronger force to change the velocity of a more massive object.

A wooden block is sitting on an inclined plane near the bottom. The student gave the block a flick and it moved up the inclined

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The block didn't slide due to balancing of gravitational force with friction force

Explanation:

When the block was given a flick the force provided an acceleration to it and it moved up the inclined plane. when the block reached top it was expected that it would slide back but it didn't this happened because of the frictional force acting on the bottom the block which was balancing the gravitational force component along the plane and this prevented sliding back of the block.

static friction was balancing mg*sin(theta)

fs = mg*sin(theta)
