The force of the truck on the car is equal to the force of the car on the truck.

<h3>What is Newton's third law of motion?</h3>
  • Newton's third law of motion states that action and reaction are equal and opposite.

Let the mass of the small car = m

Let the mass of the truck = M

The force exerted by the small car is calculated as;

F₁ = ma

The force exerted by the large truck is calculated as;

F₂ = Ma

According to Newton's third law, the magnitude of the two forces are equal but opposite in direction.

|F₁| = |F₂|

Thus, we can conclude that, the force of the truck on the car is equal to the force of the car on the truck.

galina1969 [7]

If the probes are identical, then the one that feels a larger gravitational
force is orbiting closer to Jupiter than the other one is.

If they're not identical, then the one with greater mass will feel more
gravitational force than the one with less mass, even if they're both
the same distance from Jupiter.  (We know this from the experimental
observation that fatter people weigh more, even on Earth.)

An oscillator creates periodic waves on a stretched string.
sattari [20]

Answer:

A. The wavelength doubles but the wave speed is unchanged

Explanation:

The relationship between the period and wavelength is direct. Doubling the period of the oscillator will correspondingly double the wavelength but the wave speed is unaffected

A box slides down a ramp inclined at 24◦ to the horizontal with an acceleration of 1.7 m/s 2 . The acceleration of gravity is 9.
dsp73

Answer:

<h3>0.445</h3>

Explanation:

In friction, the coefficient of friction formula is expressed as;

\mu = \frac{F_f}{R}

Ff is the frictional force = Wsinθ

R is the reaction = Wcosθ

Substitute inti the equation;

\mu = \frac{Wsin \theta}{W cos\theta} \\\mu = \frac{sin \theta}{cos\theta} \\\mu = tan \theta

Given

θ = 24°

\mu = tan 24^0\\\mu = 0.445\\

Hence the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.445
