Answer:

False

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The action-reaction pair act on different bodies. Thus, they do not cancel each other.

For example, in order to walk, we push the floor backwards. This is action force which the foot applies to the floor. The floor pushes the foot forward. This is the reaction force. The amount of force is equal but the direction is opposite. Also, the bodies on which action force and reaction force are acting are different.

Hence, the given statement is false.

Sometimes. If the forces are equal, they will cancel out and the net force will be zero. But if the forces are not equal, the object will move away from the stronger force because there is still a net force.

The intensity of light from a central source varies inversely as the square of the distance. If you lived on a planet only half

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

the intensity will be 4 times that of the earth.

Explanation:

let us assume the following:

intensity of light on earth =J

distance of earth from sun = d

intensity of light on other planet = K

distance of other planet from sun = $\frac{d}{2}$ (from the question, the planet is half as far from the sun as earth)

from the question the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, hence

intensity on earth : J = $\frac{1}{d^{2} }$

J $d^{2}$ = 1 ... equation 1

intensity on other planet : K = $\frac{1}{(\frac{d}{2}) ^{2} }$ (the planet is half as far from the sun as earth)

K $(\frac{d}{2}) ^{2}$ = 1 ....equation 2

equating both equation 1 and 2 we have

J $d^{2}$ = K $(\frac{d}{2}) ^{2}$

J $d^{2}$ = K $\frac{d^{2}}{4}$

J = $\frac{K}{4}$

K = 4J

intensity of light on other planet (K) = 4 times intensity of light on earth (J)

1. Describe what conversation of momentum means.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

1. The conversation of momentum is when a person or object has momentum and transfers it to another person or object.

Explanation:

2. Like if someone is on a swing and kicks someone in front of him. He stops and the kid in front of him falls over because the momentum was transferred.

anice is watching her granddaughter drive a Barbie Jeep with a 6 V battery and an electric motor with 5 ohm of resistance. How m

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Power required will be 7.2 watt

Explanation:

We have given battery of Barble jeep is 6 volt

So potential difference V = 6 volt

Resistance of electric motor R = 5 ohm '

We have to find the power motor using to drive the jeep

Power is given by $P=\frac{V^2}{R}$ , here V is voltage and R is resistance

So $P=\frac{V^2}{R}=\frac{6^2}{5}=7.2watt$

A 7.0-kilogram cart, A, and a 3.0-kilogram cart, B, are initially held together at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. W

7nadin3 [17]

For this problem, we use the conservation of momentum as a solution. Since momentum is mass times velocity, then,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'
where
v₁ and v₂ are initial velocities of cart A and B, respectively
v₁' and v₂' are final velocities of cart A and B, respectively
m₁ and m₂ are masses of cart A and B, respectively

(7 kg)(0 m/s) + (3 kg)(0 m/s) = (7 kg)(v₁') + (3 kg)(6 m/s)
Solving for v₁',
v₁' = -2.57 m/s

<em>Therefore, the speed of cart A is at 2.57 m/s at the direction opposite of cart B.</em>
