If, according to Newton’s third law, every reaction has an equal and opposite reaction, then how can motion ever occur? Wouldn’t

every force be canceled out by its reaction force?

No, if you push an object, the other side is also "pulling it".

Motion occurs because of the equal and opposite reaction.

Motion could not occur if the action force and the reaction force

both acted on the SAME OBJECT.


But they don't. They act on different objects.


The pusher applies the action force to the thing he's pushing, and

the thing he's pushing applies the reaction force to the pusher.


Newton never said that equal and opposite forces cancel out

when they act on two different objects. Only when they act on

the same object.

By quadrupling the mass of the body hanging on the thread what will become the period of oscillation?​
nikklg [1K]

Well, the tension in the thread will probably quadruple, but the hanging body will continue to just hang there.  

The question gives us no evidence that it is doing any oscillating, and there's no reason for it to start just because it suddenly got heavier.

Why do the golf ball have dimples?
Igoryamba

Answer:

HELLO! I WILL EXPLAIN WHY GOLF BALLS HAVE DIMPLES.

Explanation:

DIMPLES ON A GOLF BALL CREATE A THIN BOUNDARY LAYER OF AIR THAT CLINGS TO THE BALL'S SURFACE. THIS ALLOWS THE AIR TO FOLLOW THE BALL'S SURFACE A LITTLE FARTHER AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF THE BALL, THEREBY DECREASING THE SIZE OF THE WAKE.

I AM SO SORRY ABOUT THE CAP LOCKS I THINK MY CAP LOCKS BUTTON IS PUSHED, AND IT IS NOT POPPING UP FOR SOME REASON.

ANYWAYS, HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!

a moving billiard ball collides with an identical stationary billiard ball in an elastic collision. after the collision, the sec
MArishka [77]

A billiard ball collides with a stationary identical billiard ball to make it move. If the collision is perfectly elastic, the first ball comes to rest after collision.

<h3>Why does the first ball comes to rest after collision ?</h3>

Let m be the mass of the two identical balls.  

u1 = velocity before the collision of ball 1

u2 = 0 = velocity of second ball that is at rest

v1 and v2 are the velocities of the balls after the collision.

From the conservation of momentum,

∴ mu1 + mu2 = mv1 + mv2

∴ mu1 = mv1 + mv2

∴ u1 = v1 + v2

In an elastic collision, the kinetic energy of the system before and after collision remains same.

\frac{1}{2}  mu_1^2+0=\frac{1}{2}  mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}  mv_2^2

∴  \frac{1}{2}  m(v_1+v_2 )^2=\frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2

∴ \frac{1}{2} mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2} mv_2^2+mv_1 v_2=\frac{1}{2}  mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2} mv_2^2

∴ mv₁v₂ = 0

  1. It is impossible for the mass to be zero.
  2. Because the second ball moves, velocity v2 cannot be zero.
  3. As a result, the velocity of the first ball, v1, is zero, indicating that it comes to rest after collision.
<h3>What is collision ?</h3>

An elastic collision is a collision between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains constant. There is no net transfer of kinetic energy into other forms such as heat, noise, or potential energy in an ideal, fully elastic collision.

A severe storm has an average peak wave height of 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. suppose that a storm is in progress wit
Agata [3.3K]

Before we answer this question, let us first understand what alternate hypothesis is.

The alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis which is used in the hypothesis testing and this is opposite to the null hypothesis. This is the test hypothesis which is usually taken to be that the observations are the result of a real effect in an experiment.

In this case since what we want to set up is the statistical test to see if the waves are dying down, then this means we are trying to determine if the wave height are decreasing, so lesser than 16.4 feet. Therefore:

The alternative hypothesis would state                 (ANSWER)

Ha: μ less than 16.4 feet and P-value area is on the left of the mean.

 

While the null hypothesis is the opposite and would state

H0: mu equals 16.4 feet
