Answer:

Yes, you are pulling on Earth. Reasoning. Third Newton's law of motion, action and reaction law, sates that for every action force, there is an equal (in magnitude) and opposite reaction force.

What happens in terms of energy when a moving car hits a parked car, causing the parked car to move?
meriva
This is an example Newton's Third Law. All the kinectic energy from the moving car transferred the potential energy of the parked car. This potential is not much since the brakes are on (hopefully) and it's not in a non-moving position.

How do you calculate the net force when there are multiple forces in different directions?​
Artyom0805 [142]

To find F_{net} we need to use vector addition and use the x and y components. First we subtract vector 2 from vector 5 which results in a vector with a  length of 3 pointing directly east, then we use the distance formula to find the length of the net force F_{net} = \sqrt{(3)^2+(4)^2} \\  which gives F_{net} = 5. We now have a magnitude but we also need a direction, since vector 4 and vector 5 are perpendicular. Using \theta = \tan^{-1} (\frac{4}{3})   where tan^-1(y/x) we get an angle of 53 degrees. The resultant force vector is 5 distance with an angle of 53 degrees north east.

Two loudspeakers are placed next to each other and driven by the same source at 500 Hz. A listener is positioned in front of the
stellarik [79]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wavelength as the rate of change of the speed of the wave over the frequency. Mathematically this is

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Here,

v = Wave velocity

f = Frequency,

Replacing with our values we have that,

\lambda = \frac{340}{500}

\lambda = 0.68m

The distance to move one speaker is half this

\lambda/2 = 0.34m

Therefore the minimum distance will be 0.34m

A brick and a feather fall to the earth at their respective terminal velocities. Which objectexperiences the greater force of ai
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Under the reasonable assumption that the brick has more mass than the feather, the brick experiences a greater force of air friction.

Explanation:

<u>Objects at terminal velocity</u>, only under the influence of gravity, have maximized their speed and <u>have an acceleration of zero</u>.  Thus, neither object is accelerating.

Recall Newton's second law: \sum {\vec {F}}=m \vec {a}

Since acceleration for each object is zero, the sum of the force acting on each of those objects must also be zero.

Since the only forces acting on the objects are gravity and the force of air friction, in order to zero out, <u>the force of air friction must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity</u>.

Recall that near the surface of the earth, F_{gravity}=mg, so <u>the Force of Gravity acting on an object is directly proportional to the object's mass</u>.  <em>(A similar argument could be made even if this were not taking place on the surface of the earth, so long as the objects were the same distance from the object providing gravitational influence).</em>

If the masses of the objects are different, <u>the object with the greater mass will experience</u> a larger force of gravity, and hence <u>a larger force of air friction</u> at terminal velocity.  

Under the reasonable assumption that the brick has more mass than the feather, the brick experiences a greater force of air friction.
