Your friend says that if Newton’s third law is correct, no object would ever start moving. Here is his argument: You pull a sled

exerting a 50 N force on it. According to Newton’s third law the sled exerts the force of 50 N on you in the opposite direction. The total force is zero, thus the sled should never start moving. But it does. Thus Newton’s third law is wrong. What is your opinion about this answer? How can you convince your friend of your opinion?

Answer:

Explanation:

You pull a sled exerting a 50 N force on it , sled also exerts a force on you . These forces are action and reaction force , as per third law of Newton . These two forces are equal and  opposite . But they do not act on the same object so they do not cancel each other . They act on different objects , one on the sledge and the other on you . Due to force on sledge , sledge moves in the direction of force or towards you . You will start moving in opposite direction if frictional force of ground is nil or less .

I have a voltage source of 12V but a light that only burns at 5V. The lamp works on 18 mA. Calculate the resistance that you EXT
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

Explanation:

Given;

Voltage source, E = 12 V

Voltage rating of the lamp, V = 5 V

Current through the lamp, I = 18 mA

Extra voltage or potential drop, IR =  E- V  

                                                    IR = 12 V - 5 V = 7 V

The resistance that will provide this potential drop (7 V) is calculated as follows:

IR = V

R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{7 \ V}{18 \times 10^{-3} A} \ = 388.89 \ ohms

Therefore, the resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

An elevator together with its passengers weights 5000 N. At a certain instant, the tension in its supporting cable is 6000 N. De
gayaneshka [121]
We have to forces acting on the system (elevator+passengers):
1) The weight (W=5000 N), acting downward
2) The cable's tension (T=6000 N), acting upward
So, the two forces have opposite direction. The resultant (in upward direction) will be
F=T-W
And for Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the system causes an acceleration on the system itself, given by
a= \frac{F}{m}
where m is the mass of the system.

So, we need to find F and m.
The resultant of the forces is
F=T-W=6000 N-5000 N=1000 N
To find m, we can use the weight of the system. In fact, the weight of an object is given by
W=mg
where g=9.81 m/s^2. Solving for m, and using W=5000 N, we find
m= \frac{W}{g}= \frac{5000 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=510 kg

and at this point, we can calculate the acceleration of the system (elevator+people):
a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1000 N}{510 kg}=1.96 m/s^2
and the acceleration has the same direction of the resultant force, so upward.

Vladimir79 [104]
Their relative speed is the sum of 60 and 40 or 100km/hr. They will travel the 150km in 1.5 hrs. When two object approach each other, the closing speed is just the sum of the speeds, therefore, the closing speed is your case is 100kph. So they will meet in 1.5 hours.
