Answer:

D.They are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that the action force is always associated with a reaction force.
When a body 'A' exerts a force on body 'B', it is called the force of action.
When the body 'B' in turn resist the force of 'A' is called the reaction force. It is the reactive force acted upon by the body 'B' on 'A'.
This reaction force is equal in magnitude of the action force.
If the two bodies remain in the same horizontal line, the 'A' exerts a force in the direction towards 'B' and the body 'B' exerts a reaction force in the direction towards 'A'.
Hence, the two forces that are exerted by the bodies are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

If the velocity of a long jumper during take-offat an angle of 30 degrees is 42 f/s, how fast is he moving forward (Vx) and how

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Vx= 11.0865(m/s)

Vy= 6.4008(m/s)

Explanation:

Taking into account that 1m is equal to 0.3048 ft, the takeoff speed in m / s will be:

V= 42(ft/s) × 0.3048(m/ft) = 12.8016(m/s)

The take-off angle is equal to 30 °, taking into account the Pythagorean theorem the velocity on the X axis will be:

Vx= 12.8016 (m/s) × cos(30°)= 11.0865(m/s)

And for the same theorem the speed on the Y axis will be:

Vy= 12.8016 (m/s) × sen(30°)= 6.4008(m/s)

Estimate the order of magnitude of the length, in

Scrat [10]

A) a mouse, to an order of magnitude = 0.1 m ( a tenth of a meter ) That would be a big mouse but the alternatives are 1 meter or one hundredth of a meter... so go with 1/10th

b) Easy = 1 meter 

c) two choices 10m or 100 m . Go with 100 m 

d) Stretch it out , trunk tip to tail tip - call it 10 m 

e) Your choice 100 m or 1000 m..... These are estimates. So long as you are within one order of magnitude you can't really be given wrong. So I'd say 100m
