Answer:

Action and Reaction

Explanation:

For every force, there is one of equal and opposite also. Think of it this way. When you try to push on a wall, you are applying a force. However, that wall is also pushing back on you with that same force. You can also see this when you high five someone. You can slap as hard as you want to their stationary hand, but due to the 3rd law, you're both going to be left with red hands do to the amount of force applied.

Why is it important to select a coordinate system when studying motion?

kvv77 [185]

Motion is detected when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point. Coordinate system is basically used to represent motion. A coordinate system uses numbers or coordinates which represent position of the reference points on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. The trajectory of a point or line can be studied on a coordinate system which describes various aspects of motion like velocity, acceleration, distance, displacement etc. Coordinate system is important because it helps to choose a starting point and the direction (which will be positive).

When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it causes

geniusboy [140]

Explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 0.015 A

Voltage, V = 240 volts

We need to find the resistance. Using Ohm's law we can find it as follows :

$V=IR\\\\R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{240}{0.015}\\\\R=16000\ \Omega$

So, When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it causes 16000 ohms of resistance.

A spatially challenged goldfish swims along the x-axis only. Its initial position is 7.8 m. After swimming back and forth a whil

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The fish displacement was -3.4 m

Explanation:

Distance and Displacement

A moving object constantly travels some distance at defined periods of time. The total moved distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:

dtotal=d1+d2+d3+...+dn

This sum is obtained independently of the direction the object moves.

The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final points of the path defined by the object in its moving. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can be even zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.

The displacement, when the object moves in one axis only is given by:

d = final position - initial position

We know the fist started at 7.8 m from a given reference along the x-axis.

After some undisclosed movements, it ends up at the position 4.4 m. Thus, the displacement is:

d = 4.4 m - 7.8 m = -3.4 m

This means the fish ended up to the left of the position it started from.

The fish displacement was -3.4 m

An airplane flies with a velocity of 750. kilometers

viktelen [127]

Answer:

650 km/hr

Explanation:

Draw a right triangle from (0.0) (Point A) down 30 degrees and to the right for a length of 750 (Point B). Then draw a line from B up to the x axis to make a right angle (Point C). Use the cosine function to find line AC, the vector portion of AB that lies of the x (East) axis. Cosine(30)= Adjacent/Hypotenuse.

Cos(30) = AC/750

750*(cos(30)) = AC

AC = 649.5 km/hr

Which of the following best describes the term thermal energy? Choose one: A. The energy of an object in motion due to its mass

o-na [289]

Answer:

The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

The energy a particle has because of its charge and its position relative to another particle is called thermal energy.
It is the energy that comes from heat. This is generated by the movement of the particles in an object.
Thermal energy is the energy an object or system has due to the movement of particles within.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
