Answer:
<u>FALSE.</u>
Explanation:
Newton's third law states that :
- <em>Every action has equal and opposite reaction</em>
- <em>That is , the magnitude is the same but the directions are opposite</em>
- <em>The action reaction forces DONOT operate on the same body.</em>
For example ,
If a block is kept on the ground , the action force is the normal force acting on it due to the ground. <em>BUT , NOTE THAT : the reaction force isn't the gravitational force on the body ! It is the normal force acting on the ground due to the block !</em>
Thus,
we conclude that action and reaction forces donot act on the same body and therefore , this case has the <u>answer : FALSE </u>
Answer:
4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.
Explanation:
If there is no friction between the road and the tires, the car won't stop.
You can see this, for example, when there is ice on the road. You can still apply the brakes (internal force), but since there is no friction (external force) the car won't stop.
The force of the brakes on the wheels is not what makes the car stop, it is the friction of the road against still tires that makes it stop.
<h2>
Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>
Explanation:
<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.
</em>
That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.
In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy
will be:
Where
is the mass of the object,
the acceleration due gravity and
the height of the object.
As we can see, the value of
is directly proportional to the height.
Answer:
College student's commitment
Explanation:
The dependent variable is the college students since it is the variable we are going to measure as a result of the independent variable which is the hazardous hazing ritual or non-hazardous hazing ritual.
Answer:
P = 450 J
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a child, m = 18 kg
The vertical distance from the top to the bottom of the slide is 2.5 metres.
The Gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg
We need to find the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the child sliding from the top to the bottom of the slide.
The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :
P = mgh
Substituting all the values,
P = 18 kg × 10 m/s² × 2.5 m
P = 450 J
Hence, the decrease in gravitational potential energy is 450 J.
