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.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

the branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces which cause the motion.

and/or

Kinematics is the study of motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how the momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies.

Describe how thermal energy is transferred​
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Thermal energy typically flows from a warmer material to a cooler material. Generally, when thermal energy is transferred to a material, the motion of its particles speeds up and its temperature increases. There are three methods of thermal energy transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.
