While on an ice-fishing trip, you find yourself holding a 10 kg fish but stuck in the middle of

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.

What does convection mean
Sladkaya [172]
Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat

How much time is required for 48.96 C of charge to move through an electric juicer if the current through the juicer is 1.39 A?
OleMash [197]
The relationship between the charge flowing through a conductor, the current flowing through the conductor and the time is:
Q = It
Where Q is the charge, I is the current and t is the time of application of the current. Substituting the values:
48.96 = 1.39 x t
t = 35.2 seconds

Benny wonders why when he presses his finger against a map nothing happens to the map. However if he presses a thumbtack into th
anastassius [24]

Answer: The pressure exerted on a surface by an object increases as the surface area of contact decreases.

Explanation:

Pressure measures the amount of force exerted per a given area of an object. From this definition, the surface area of the object and force applied, affects the pressure applied.

As Benny presses his finger against a map, nothing happens to the map because the force applied is affected by the increased surface area of his finger. However as he presses a thumbtack into the map using the same force the tack will probably poke a hole in the map because the small( decreased) surface area of the sharp point of the thumbtack produces a much larger pressure on the map than the area of Benny finger. I hope this helps, thanks!
