The forward force you exert on the fish and your backward action will allow you to reach the shore.

<h3>Newton's third law of motion</h3>

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Fa = -Fb

Let's assume the fish is held in the hook, this will give you the opportunity to throw the fish forward while still holding it.

When the the fish is thrown forward, you will move backwards with an equal force based on Newton's third law. Your backward momentum towards the shore will help to maintain equal linear momentum between you and the fish.

Thus, this forward force of the fish and your backward action will allow you to reach the shore.

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses is 0.8 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Resistance of each bulb, R = 2 ohms

Voltage of the system, V = 3.2 volts

These two bulbs are connected in series. The equivalent resistance will be 2 ohms +2 ohms = 4 ohms

Let I is the current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses. Using Ohm's law to find it such that :

$V=IR\\\\I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I=\dfrac{3.2}{4}\\\\I=0.8\ A$

So, the current drawn by Horace’s reading glasses is 0.8 A.

DNA is coiled into chromosomes in a cell's

tia_tia [17]

Answer: Cell's nucleus

Explanation :

The full form of DNA is Deoxyribonucleic acid. The genetic information of a cell is organized in the DNA. It is inherited from parents by their children.

DNA is coiled into chromosomes in a cell's nucleus. It has a shape like a double helix. It is twisted in the form of spirals.

Hence, DNA is coiled into chromosomes in a cell's Nucleus.

a linear function has the same y-intercept as x + 4y equals 16 and it's graph contains the point (4,5). Find the slope of the li

navik [9.2K]

Answer: $\bold{\text{Slope (m)}=\dfrac{1}{4}}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

A linear equation is of the form: y = mx + b where

m is the slope
b is the y-intercept (where it crosses the y-axis)

x + 4y = 16

4y = -x + 16

$y = -\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{16}{4}$

$y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+4$

The y-intercept (b) = 4

Next, find the slope given point (4, 5) and b = 4

$y=mx+b\\\\5=m(4)+4\\\\1=4m\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}=m\\\\\\\\\large\boxed{Slope (m)=\dfrac{1}{4}}$
