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.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

B) the change in momentum

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the product between the force exerted on an object (F) and the contact time ( $\Delta t$ )

$I=F \Delta t$

Using Newton's second law (F = ma), we can rewrite the force as product of mass (m) and acceleration (a):

$I=(ma) \Delta t$

However, the acceleration is the ratio between the change in velocity ( $\Delta v$ ) and the contact time ( $\Delta t$ ): $a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ , so the previous equation becomes

$I=m \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t$

And by simplifying $\Delta t$ ,

$I=m \Delta v$

which corresponds to the change in momentum of the object.

An electric field is produced by the very long, uniformly charged rod drawn above. If the strength of the electric field is E1 a

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: hello the complete question is attached below

answer :

r2 = 4r1

Explanation:

Electric field strength = F / q

we will assume the rod has an infinite length

For an infinitely charged rod

E ∝ 1/ r

considering two electric fields E1 and E2 at two different locations as described in the question

E1/E2 = r1/r2 ----- ( 2 )

<u>Calculate for r2 when E2 = E1/4 </u>

back to equation 2

E1 / (E1/4) = r1 / r2

∴ r2 = 4r1

What is The common value for the speed of light in a vacuum

Talja [164]

The most common value for the speed of light is 3*10^8 meters/second.

A more accurate number is <span>299 792 458 m/second, but that number is hardly ever used.</span>
