Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: The correct option is that the axe handle applying a force to the person's hand.

Explanation:

This reaction force is due to Newton's third law of motion. This law states that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction to it. This implies that when a force is being exerted on a surface, the surface must exert a force that is equal and opposite in direction to the exerting force. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature that forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

A typical example of Newton's third law includes:

--> When you hit a tree with an axe: with your hand you exert a force on the tree with the intention to cut it down(action force). The same force you excreted on the tree would be felt in your hands (reaction force).

--> when air rushes out of a balloon: when air escapes for a balloon, the opposite reaction is that the balloon flies up.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Option C

The information given in the question tells us about the number of electrons in an atom and also the number of shells in the atom. So, we will come to know about the atomic number, size and chemical properties of the atom. But we cannot determine atomic mass. Atomic mass is a function of number of neutrons and protons.

momentum or p is given by the equation p= mxv

We have the mass and velocity so we can use the equation directly

p= 72kg x 4.9 m/s

p= 352.8 kg m/s
