Lien uses a spring scale to pull a block toward the right across the lab table. The scale reads 8 N. Which force should Lien con

Alja [10]

Answer

The force on the left across the lab table.

Explanation

The Newton's third law of motion states that; <em>action and reaction are equal but a ct in opposite direction. </em>

When the block of is pulled on the right with a force of X Newtons then there is a force -X Newtons applying and equal force on the left. For every action there must be a reaction with is equal and applying in the opposite direction.

So, if the block is pulled on the right by a force of 8 N there is another equal force applying on the left.

Two identical space probes are orbiting Jupiter. Scientists determine that one of the space probes has a larger gravitational fo

galina1969 [7]

If the probes are identical, then the one that feels a larger gravitational
force is orbiting closer to Jupiter than the other one is.

If they're not identical, then the one with greater mass will feel more
gravitational force than the one with less mass, even if they're both
the same distance from Jupiter. (We know this from the experimental
observation that fatter people weigh more, even on Earth.)

A big lump of meat of mass 5Kg is hung from a spring balance in an elevator. Find the reading of the balance of (I) the elevator

Mrrafil [7]

The reading of the balance if ,

I ) If the elevator is moving with a steady speed = 50 N

II ) If the elevator is moving upwards with acceleration of 0.2 m / s² = 51 N

T = m g + m a

T = Force

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity
