A horse pulls on a carriage. By Newton's third law, the carriage pulls back on the horse with equal force. Why do the action and

reaction forces just described not balance each other out?
A.
because this is not an action--reaction pair
B.
because action and reaction forces are not equal in magnitude in this case
C.
because action and reaction forces act in the same direction in this case
D.
because the action force acts on the carriage, while the reaction force acts on the horse

Answer:

By Newton's third law the cart must then exert an equal and opposite force on the horse. ... If it doesn't accelerate, and it started it rest, it must remain at rest (by the definition of acceleration), and therefore no matter how hard the horse pulls, it can never move the cart

BARSIC [14]

Answer:D

Explanation:

Given

mass of A is twice the mass of B half the velocity of B

Suppose F_a and F_b be the average force exerted on A and B respectively

and According to Newton third law of motion Force on the body A is equal to Force on body B but opposite in direction as they are action and reaction force.

Thus F_a=-F_b  and option d is correct

An object with a mass m slides down a rough 37° inclined plane where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20. If the plane i
hodyreva [135]

Answer: 9.312 m/s

Explanation:

The friction force (opposite to the motion) is Fa = μ*m*g*cos(α) with μ = kinetic friction. The force that makes the motion is

F = m*g*sin(α).

The Newton's law gives:

F - Fa = m*a

m*g*sin(α) - μ*m*g*cos(α) = m*a

g*sin(α) - μ*g*cos(α) = a so a = 4.335 m/s²

It's a uniformly accelerated motion:

Space

S = 0.5*a*t²

10 = 0.5*a*t²

=> t = 2.148 s

Velocity

V = a*t = 9.312 m/s.

Explain whether or not there is any difference between a light ray emitted by a candle flame and one reflected off the cover of
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

the difference between the two is that the candle forms an emission spectrum and the book an absorption spectrum.

the book it is observed in all directions so that its reflection has to be diffused

Explanation:

The ray of light emitted by a candle is the light generated by the temperature of the flame, which is made up of the emissions of a black body at this temperature plus the emissions of the chemical elements that make up the candle.

The Light reflected from the cover of a book is the same incident light spectrum minus the wavelengths that create transitions in the elements of the cover, these wavelengths will be seen as dark areas.

As a consequence of the above, the difference between the two is that the candle forms an emission spectrum and the book an absorption spectrum.

For the cover of the book form a specular reflection the incident rays are reflected in one direction and the rest would be dark, but in the book it is observed in all directions so that its reflection has to be diffused

A spring with a spring constant of 2500 n/m. is stretched 4.00 cm. what is the work required to stretch the spring?
Yuri [45]
W = 1/2k*x^2.

k = spring constant = 2500 n/m.
x = distance = 4 cm = 0.04m (convert to same units).

W = 1/2(2500)(0.04)^2 = 2J.
