Kamala puts on inline skates and stands facing a wall. When she pushes against the wall, she rolls backward. Why does pushing ha

rder make her roll faster?
-The force of friction between the wheels and the ground decreases.

-The force of the wall pushing on her increases.

-The additional force decreases her weight.

-The extra force causes an increase of the normal force from the ground.

Because the force of the wall pushing on her increases.

According to Newton's third law of motion, to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the Kamala pushes the wall, the wall also pushes her. Pushing harder against the wall causes the force of the wall pushing her also increase. Thus, making her roll faster.

Answer: Second option "The force of the wall pushing on her increases."

Explanation: This is because of Newton's third law: For every action (force) in nature, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So when Kamala pushes against the wall, the wall is also pushing against Kamala, and this is what impulses her backward. So if she uses more force, then the wall sill apply more force on her, and then she will roll faster.

The right answer is then the second option: "The force of the wall pushing on her increases."

Which sentence below describes a contact force? A) A baseball bat hits a ball B) A book falls to the floor C) A leaf floats in t
tester [92]

A baseball bat hits a ball is an example of contact force.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Contact force is defined as those forces which are acting between two bodies by actually touch between two bodies.

In case of the book falling to ground, the force acting is the gravitational force. Gravitational force acts even when two bodies aren't in contact. So its a non contact force.

Similar is the condition of the leaf and ground where the gravitational force acts.

The magnetic force between the paper clip and the magnet is also non contact force, which acts even when two bodies aren't in contact.

But the bat hitting the ball is having direct contact between the two bodies, and their contact is what makes the ball fly off. So its a contact force.
