A horse pulls on a carriage. By Newton's third law, the carriage pulls back on the horse with equal force. Why do the action and

reaction forces just described not balance each other out?
A.
because this is not an action--reaction pair
B.
because action and reaction forces are not equal in magnitude in this case
C.
because action and reaction forces act in the same direction in this case
D.
because the action force acts on the carriage, while the reaction force acts on the horse

Answer:

By Newton's third law the cart must then exert an equal and opposite force on the horse. ... If it doesn't accelerate, and it started it rest, it must remain at rest (by the definition of acceleration), and therefore no matter how hard the horse pulls, it can never move the cart

Why do aeroplanes take longer to fly west than east?
PolarNik [594]

Every planet/moon has global wind that are mostly determined by the way the planet/moon rotates and how evenly the Sun illuminates it. On the Earth the equator gets much more Sun than the poles. resulting in warmer air at the equator than the poles and creating circulation cells (or "Hadley Cells") which consist of warm air rising over the equator and then moving North and South from it and back round.

The Earth is also rotating. When any solid body rotates, bits of it that are nearer its axis move slower than those which are further away. As you move north (or south) from the equator, you are moving closer to the axis of the Earth and so the air which started at the equator and moved north (or south) will be moving faster than the ground it is over (it has the rotation speed of the ground at the equator, not the ground which is is now over). This results in winds which always move from the west to the east in the mid latitudes.

Give two examples where we feel the presence of motion through indirect evidences
Elza [17]

there are situations where the motion is inferred through indirect evidences. For example, we infer the motion of air by observing the movement of dust and the movement of leaves and branches of trees. What causes the phenomena of sunrise, sunset and changing of seasons? Is it due to the motion of the earth? If it is true, why don’t we directly perceive the motion of the earth?

<span>An object may appear to be moving for one person and stationary for some other. For the passengers in a moving bus, the roadside trees appear to be moving backwards. A person standing on the road–side perceives the bus along with the passengers as moving. However, a passenger inside the bus sees his fellow passengers to be at rest</span>

Hubble measured the velocity of the movement of galaxies by using
kogti [31]

Answer:

Hubble measured the velocity of the movement of galaxies by using Hubble's law states that galaxies located farthest from the center of the universe than those closest to the center.

Explanation:

Hubble's Law says that an object's velocity away from an observer is directly proportional to its distance from the observer. In other words, the farther away something is the faster it is moving away from us. The spectrum of a galaxy allows you to measure its redshift.
