Answer:
Moment of the force is 20 N-m.
Explanation:
Given:
Force exerted by the person is,
Distance of application of force from the point about which moment is needed is,
Now, we know that, moment of a force 'F' about a point at a perpendicular distance of 'd' from the same point is given as the product of the force and the perpendicular distance.
Therefore, the moment of the force about the end of the claw hammer is given as:
Hence, the moment of the force exerted by the person about the end of the claw hammer is 20 N-m.
Answer:
B. The truck and mosquito exert the same size force on each other.
Explanation:
Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that
"When an object A exerts a force (action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction) on object A"
In this case, we can call
object A = the truck
object B = the mosquito
Thereforce according to Newton's third law, the force exerted by the truck on the mosquito is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the mosquito on the truck (and in opposite direction).
The reason for which the mosquito will experience much more damage is the fact that the mosquito's mass is much smaller than the truck's mass, and since the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass:
the mosquito will experience a much larger deceleration than the truck, therefore much more damage.
