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.

Energy that vibrates electrons causing electricity
tresset_1 [31]
Answer: Electromagnetic waves are generated by moving electrons. An electron generates an electric field which we can visualize as lines radiating from the electron Figure 10a. If the electron moves, say it vibrates back and forth, then this motion will be transferred to the field lines and they will become wavy Figure 10b.

Nonrenewable resources are natural resources that are limited in supply and cannot be replaced as quickly as they are used up.
zysi [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Nonrenewable resources ARE limited in supply. They don't get replaced at the speed they get made. For example: we pump crude oil from the ground at a rate that makes it impossible for crude oil to be replaced. Crude oil takes millions of years to produce

A rug sits in a sunny place on the floor for a long time. Kiara thinks that light from the sun can cause the rug's color to fade
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Yes! Light from the sun can affect the materials certain carpets are made out of. The usual effect being the dye in the carpet being "washed out" or "dried out" as the sun beams down on it. When this happens, the carpet will usually lose its color, causing it to fade.

Consider a compact car that is being driven
aliina [53]

Answer:

Height h = 37.8 m

Explanation:

Given :

Velocity of car (v) = 98 km / h

Acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Computation:

Acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Acceleration of gravity = (98)(1,000 m / 3,600 s)

Acceleration of gravity = 27.22 m/s

By using law of conservation of energy ;

(1/2)mv² = mgh

h = v² / 2g

h = 27.22² / 2(9.8)

Height h = 37.8 m
