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.

Describe a technology used in space exploration.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

High speed optical communication technology

To be able to communicate from the space to the earth and from earth to space is one of the most essential features required during space exploration.

Explanation:

Space exploration involves going into the space, beyond the earth's atmosphere. Landing on other planets and studying their details, going into deeper space beyond the planets to discover new cosmic events or structures is all a part of space exploration.

The key to analyse the studies and observations is being able to communicate the data collected, photos taken etc to the launch centers or space centers on earth. The space centers on earth should also be able to communicate with the persons or the satellites in space.

This is made possible using the optical communication technology which involves the use of optical fibers, lasers etc, since high speeds are more efficient during communication

Tresset [83]

The <em>gaseous state</em> of matter does that.  A gas expands to take the shape and volume of whatever you put it into.
