According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; action and reaction act on different bodies.
Here, the action force is in the leftward direction, so the reaction will be in the opposite direction.
If the action force is the swimmer pushing water in the leftward direction, then the reaction force is in the rightward direction.
And the reaction force will be given by the water on the swimmer.

Answer:

The reaction force is the water pushing the swimmer in the rightward direction.

A pickup truck is carrying a toolbox, but the rear gate of the truck is missing, so the box will slide out if it is set moving.

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

t=7.33 s

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law:

$\sum F=m*a$

because we don't want the box to slide, the acceleration has to be zero.

$\sum F=-F_{friction}+F_{truck}=0\\F_{truck}=F_{friction}\\F_{friction}=\µ*m*g=0.500*9.81*m\\F_{friction}=4.91*m$

we know that:

$F=m*a\\4.91m=m*a\\a=4.91m/s^2$

Now having the acceleration, we can use the following formula.

$v_f=a*t\\t=\frac{36.0m/s}{4.91m/s^2}\\\\t=7.33s$

Question :

riadik2000 [5.3K]

The second law of motion states that: the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables: - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object

<h3>Meaning of Motion</h3>

Motion can be defined as the process of changing position willingly or due to a force applied.

Motion can be seen in different forms and types depending on the object.

In conclusion, The second law of motion is used to deduce the formula for acceleration.
