What must be the reaction force when someone hits a tree with an axe?

Physics

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.

What is the mass of a man who accelerates 4 m/s2 under the action of a 200 N net force?
Over [174]

Answer:

\huge  \boxed{ \boxed{50 \:   kg }}

Explanation:

The mass of the man can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{200}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>50 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which best describes the law of conservation of mass? The coefficients in front of the chemicals in the reactants should be base
likoan [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. when both sides of the reactants and the products are equal

like h+oh ⇒ h20

hydrogen has 2 atoms on both sides and oxygen  has one  on both sides

2. no they are put to balance the equation

3. nope they are treated equally as all the other states

4. no if u are talking about a formula unit like NaCl for example it is aqueous not each element taken on its own if u are talking about just elements then i said before all states are treated equally

5. yup

Rapid gas exchange can be accomplished more easily in air than in water because A. the O2 content of water is higher than that o
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

C. water is more dense and viscous

Explanation:

Rapid gas exchange can be accomplished more easily in air than in water because water is more dense and viscous.

Gases have the greatest ease of diffusion of their respective particles, as occurs in air, since their molecules have higher speeds and have more distance from each other than liquids.

The molecular diffusion rate in liquids is much less than in gases. The molecules of a liquid are very close (liquids are more dense and viscous) to each other compared to those of a gas, then the gas molecules hits with the molecules of the liquid with more frequency and this causes that the gas moves slower than in other gas (for example in air).
