Action and reaction forces will cancel because they are pushing on the same object toward each other. True or False

Physics

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.

A wave's frequency is 2Hz and its wavelength is 4 m. What is the wave's speed?
icang [17]

Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

                       =      (4 m)        x  (2 /sec)

                       =               8 m/sec

In a horse cart system when would there be the smallest amount of acceleration
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

well... when the horse stops/rests, or if it is blocked by a surface or anything of solid background.

Explanation:

If it is going up a hill or slope and it just starts to move that would also be considered the smallest amount of acceleration this can go for many things when it just starts to move. but I would go for when it rests amounting to your fitting of the question.

the minimum flying speee for a bird called a house martin is 9.0ms^-1. it reaches this speed by falling from its nest before swo
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The nest must be about  4.15 meters above ground

Explanation:

Use the velocity equation under accelerated motion (acceleration of gravity ):

v_f=v_i+a\,*\,t

which for this case has initial velocity = 0 (falls from the nest), final velocity = 9 m/s, and a = 9.8 m/s^2, then we can find the time needed in air while falling to reach the required speed:

v_f=v_i+a\,*\,t\\9=0+9.8\,t\\t=\frac{9}{9.8} \, sec\\t \approx 0.92\,\, sec

We now use this time value to find the distance covered in free fall during 0.92 seconds:

d=\frac{1}{2} \,9.8 \,t^2=4.9\,(0.92)^2=4.147 \,meters\approx 4.15\,meters

This reaction appears to be destroying the logs. when it is over only ash will remain, the law of conservation of mass tells us
Advocard [28]
The law of conservation tells us that no mass is lost. This is true because when wood burns or turns into ash, some of it is escaped as gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor into air . If we calculate the mass of these atmospheric gases that evolved when the wood turned into ash, we would find that the total mass of all these substances including the ash is equal to the log of wood.

In 1985, during the construction of a skyscraper in Austin, Texas, the remains of a mastodon were unearthed. If only 1/64 of the
Art [367]

Answer:

  • <u>34,380 years</u>

Explanation:

The remaining amount of a radioactive isotope is found as the product of the original amount by (1/2) raised to the number of half-lives elapsed. The formla is:

  • M = M₀ × (1/2)ⁿ

Where M is the remaining amoun, M₀ i s the initial amount, and n is the number of half-lives.

Here, 1/64 of the original carbon-14 remained, meaning that M/M₀ = 1/64.

Then, you can substitute in the equation and solve:

  • (1/64) = (1/2)ⁿ
  • (1/2⁶) = (1/2ⁿ)
  • 2⁶ = 2ⁿ
  • 6 = n

Then, 6 half-lives elapsed since the mastodon died and the remains were dated.

Then, you must multiply 6 by the <em>half-life </em>time:

  • 6 × 5730 years = 34,380 years ← answer
