While driving down the road, a grasshopper strikes the windshield of a bus and makes a mess in front of the face of the driver.

This is a good example of Newton's third law of motion. The action is the grasshopper hitting the windshield and the reaction is the windshield stopping the grasshopper. Which of the two forces is greater: the force on the grasshopper or the force on the windshield?

Answer:

Both forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction

Explanation:

As per Newton's law we know that every action has equal and opposite reaction.

So here when grasshopper strikes the wind screen then action force due to grasshopper on wind shield will hit the screen and at the same moment the wind shield will also exert a force on the grasshopper

This force due to windshield on the grasshopper will be same in magnitude but opposite in the direction

So here correct answer will be

The two forces are equal in magnitude

Answer:

The force on the grass hopper is equal and opposite to the force on the wind shield.

Explanation:

It is a known fact every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Here the action force is the grasshopper hitting the windshield.

The reaction force is the force exerted by the windshield on the grasshopper.

If the force of windshield on the grasshopper is more, grasshopper would have been thrown away. If the grasshopper's force on the windshield is greater, the windshield would have broken.

But here these constitute equal and opposite action-reaction pair of forces and so the grasshopper is able to repeatedly strike the windshield.

3. A car has a mass of 2.50 x 10^3 kg. If the force acting on the car is 7.65 x 10^3 N to the
const2013 [10]

Answer:

3.06m/s² to the east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car = 2.5 x 10³kg

Force acting on the car  = 7.65 x 10³N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car  = ?

Solution:

From Newton's second law of motion:

      Force  = mass x acceleration

   Acceleration  = \frac{Force }{mass}   = \frac{7.65 x 10^{3} }{2.5 x 10^{3} }    = 3.06m/s² to the east

A machine gun fires 50-g bullets at the rate of 4 bullets per second. The bullets leave the gun at a speed of 1000 m/s. What is
TEA [102]

Answer:

Average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

Explanation:

We have give mass of each bullet m = 50 gram = 0.05 kg

There are 4 bullets

So mass of 4 bullets = 4×0.05 = 0.2 kg

Initial speed of the bullet u = 0 m/sec

And final speed of the bullet v = 1000 m/sec

So change in momentum P=m(v-u)=0.2\times (1000-0)=200kgm/sec

Time is given per second so t = 1 sec

We know that force is equal to rate of change of momentum

So force will be equal to F=\frac{200}{1}=200N

So average recoil force experienced by machine will be 200 N

What causes an object to move, change direction or change speed?
Wittaler [7]
I believe it would be an unbalanced force. Because the forces are unbalanced, one side is stronger and, therefore, the object will move.

Name and describe the two layers inside Earth that are undergoing convection and indicate one major consequence of each.
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Mantle and core

Explanation:

The Mantle and Core are the two components within Earth experiencing convection. In several ways the mantle is significant. The one outcome of convective current is the creation of the fresh oceanic lithosphere around OCEANIC RIDGES, formed by mantle upwelling. Core is indeed the planet's innermost layer.
