Answer:

Opposite

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for fishes to swim, birds to fly, cars to move etc,

For example, while driving down the road, a firefly strikes the windshield of a car (Action) and makes a quite obvious mess in front of the face of the driver (Reaction) i.e the firefly hit the car and the car hits the firefly.

The ultimately implies that, in every interaction, there is a pair of equal but opposite forces acting on the two interacting physical objects.

Hence, whenever any physical object exerts a force (action) on another physical object, the second physical object exerts a force (reaction) of the same amount, but acting in opposite direction to that of the first physical object.

You are working out on a rowing machine. Each time you pull the rowing bar (which simulates the "oars") toward you, it moves a d
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

54.67 N

Explanation:

The total energy produced is the product of power and time duration:

E = Pt = 82 * 1 = 82 J

Which is converted from work, product of forced extended over a displacement

W = E = Fs = F*1.5 = 82

F = 82 / 1.5 = 54.67 N

So the magnitude of the force exerting on the handle is 54.67 N

A sample of a radioactive substance is reduced to 1.0 gram after 4 half-lives. Determine the mass of the original sample
luda_lava [24]

After 4 half-lives, there was 1 gram.

1 half-life earlier, after 3 half-lives, there must have been 2 grams.

1 half-life earlier, after 2 half-lives, there must have been 4 grams.

1 half-life earlier, after 1 half-life, there must have been 8 grams.

1 half-life earlier, when it started decaying, there must have been 16 grams. <em>(B) </em>
