action and reaction are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction then why do they not balance each other.​

Answer:

Newton’s third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This indicates that forces always act in pairs. Reaction forces are equal and opposite, but they are not balanced forces because they act on different objects so they don’t cancel each other out.

A 4kg book sits on a table and your pet hamster puts his front paws on the book and pushes down with a force of 3N. What is the
Natali [406]
There are three forces acting on the book. 
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the
larisa86 [58]

<u>Answer;</u>

<em>Spring constant </em>

<u>Explanation;</u>

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the <u>spring constant</u>.

  • The symbol of spring constant is K, since it is a constant. From the Hooke's law,for a helical spring or any elastic material, the extension force is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
  • Therefore; the spring constant = Force/extension. That is; K = F/e; where k is the spring constant, F is the extension force and e is the extension.
  • Spring constant depicts the resistance of the spring to compressional and stretching forces.
