Answer:

Explanation:

3. Newton’s third law explains how every action has an equal but opposite reaction, meaning that forces comes in pairs. While the locomotive’s wheels are pushing back against the ground as the action force, the ground is producing a reaction force towards the locomotive, propelling it forward. Another pair of forces that act on the locomotive is gravity and normal force. While gravity is pulling the locomotive towards the ground, the normal force the ground exerts on the locomotive is why the locomotive doesn’t fall through the ground.

4. The force of Earth’s gravity on the Sun is weaker than the force of the Sun’s gravity on Earth. The Sun’s attraction affects the motion of Earth more than the Earth’s attraction affects the Sun’s motion because according to Newton’s second law, force has mass as one of its factors. The Sun has a significantly higher mass than Earth, meaning that its force of gravity would also be significantly higher. Newton’s third law is why the Earth doesn’t get marginally closer to the Sun, stating that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. As the Sun is pulling Earth towards itself, Earth is pulling away from the Sun.

A small balloon is released at a point 150 feet away from an observer, who is on level ground. If the balloon goes straight up a

Elza [17]

Answer:

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s$

Explanation:

Given that

x= 150 ft

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}= 7\ ft/s$

y= 14 ft

From the diagram

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

When ,x= 150 ft and y= 14 ft

$z^2=150^2+14^2$

$z=\sqrt{150^2+15^2}$

z=150.74 ft

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

By differentiating with respect to time t

$2z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= 2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

Here x is constant that is why

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=0$

$z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$150.74\times \dfrac{dz}{dt}=14\times 7$

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=\dfrac{14\times 7}{150.74}\ ft/s$

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s$

Therefore the distance between balloon and observer increasing with 0.65 ft/s.

Cole is riding a sled with initial speed of 5 m/s from west to east. the frictional force of 50 n exists due west. the mass of t

stepan [7]

We can calculate the acceleration of Cole due to friction using Newton's second law of motion:
$F=ma$
where $F=-50 N$ is the frictional force (with a negative sign, since the force acts against the direction of motion) and m=100 kg is the mass of Cole and the sled. By rearranging the equation, we find
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{-50 N}{100 kg}=-0.5 m/s^2$

Now we can use the following formula to calculate the distance covered by Cole and the sled before stopping:
$a= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2d}$
where
$v_f=0$ is the final speed of the sled
$v_i=5 m/s$ is the initial speed
$d$ is the distance covered

By rearranging the equation, we find d:
$d= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2a}= \frac{-(5 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot (-0.5 m/s^2)}=25 m$
