Answer:

B. Your stomach jumps when you ride a roller coaster.

Explanation:

Newton's 3rd Law states :

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Remember:
According to this law, forces always act in equal by opposite pairs. Action and reaction force pairs don't cancel each other out because they act on different objects.

#1: This does not work because this option applies to Newton's second law of motion.

- Newton's second law states that the net force equals the product of mass and acceleration.

This is because a truck will typically have more mass due to being larger and made with denser materials to increase strength, it has more momentum at the same speed. This increased momentum requires more force to stop it and thus it can take a longer distance if a similar breaking force is applied.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#2: This option works since it applies to Newton's third law of motion.

The gravity provides acceleration. That causes force. The rider feels the force as it moves the cars along the coaster track. Newton's third law of motion says, "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." So that applied to the student's roller coaster, between the marble and the track.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#3: This works but is not the best answer applying to Newton's third law of motion.

Paddling causes a backward force to be applied against the water as a result water gives forward reaction, which helps it to move forwards.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

The answer could vary between B and C, personally I believe B applies to Newton's third law of motion more as it applies and matched every text word for word in the statement of Newton's 3rd law of motion.

Option B is the answer.

Hope this helps,

Answer the questions about the characteristics of the elements in group 1 (the alkali metals). What happens when the elements in

irinina [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The elements in group form univalent positive ions and element in group 17 form univalent negative ions. Hence, when a group 1 element reacts with a group 17 element, a compound of the sort MX is formed. Hence, when a group 1 element reacts with bromine, a salt is formed with the general formula MBr.

Elements of group 1 are highly electro positive metals. They react with water to form the metal hydroxide and release hydrogen gas. Hence, when group 1 elements react with water, hydrogen gas is released.

A group 1 element forms a univalent positive ion while a group 16 element forms a divalent negative ion. Hence, when a groups 1 element reacts with oxygen, the compound formed must have the general formula M2O.

The reactivity of group 1 metal increases down the group hence Cs is the most reactive group 1 element.

Lithium displays a slightly different chemistry from other group 1 elements because of its small size.

Why is measuring the size of an atom difficult

vlada-n [284]

Atomic size is the distance from the nucleus to the valence shell where the valence electrons are located. Atomic size is difficult to measure because it has no definite boundary. The electrons surrounding the nucleus exist in an electron cloud.

Describe are seasons like near the equator.

adell [148]

Answer:

Hi! Think of it like this:

You and your family are going to go on a vaction for the holidays, to south america or somewhere else. You´re near the equator so it will be warm. If you were to move there, you might pull out the swimsiutes because most of the time, its useally warm and sunny. They dont really get cold weather. They will have a nice and warm christmas.

1. Explain the relationship between Polaris and Earth's tilt

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

that it i think

Explanation:

the earth revolves around the Sun once each year and spins on its axis of rotation once each day. This axis of rotation is tilted 23.5 degrees relative to its plane of orbit around the Sun. The axis of rotation is pointed toward Polaris the North Star. As the Earth orbits the Sun the tilt of Earth’s axis stays lined up with the North Star.
