Newton's laws A force cannot act  alone is the THIRD LAW!

Answer:

"A force cannot act alone" is a statement that belongs to Newton's Third Law, because the forces act in pairs (action and reaction).

Explanation:

Newton's First Law, also called the Law of inertia, indicates that "The whole body perseveres in its state of rest or uniform rectilinear motion, unless the sea is forced to change its state by forces printed on it." This means that for a body to leave its state of rest or the motion, it is necessary for a force to act on it.

Newton's Second Law, also called the Fundamental Law of Dynamics, indicates that: "The change of motion is directly proportional to the printed driving force and occurs along a straight line along which that force is printed." This means that the acceleration of a moving object depends on the amount of force that is applied at a given time, in order to modify its trajectory or speed.

Newton's Third Law is also known as the Principle of action and reaction. This law indicates that “Every action has an equal reaction but in the opposite direction” This means that when a body exerts a force (action) on another, it responds with a force of equal magnitude although opposite direction (reaction). Then this law explains the forces that always occur in the form of peers: an action and a reaction.

Finally <u><em>"A force cannot act alone" is a statement that belongs to Newton's Third Law, because the forces act in pairs (action and reaction).</em></u>

A child tugs on a rope attached to a 0.62-kg toy with a horizontal force
Katarina [22]

Answer:

a=0.8\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a toy, m = 0.62 kg

Horizontal force, F = 16.3 N

Force on the opposite direction, F' = 15.8 N

We need to find the acceleration of the toy.

Here, two forces are acting in opposite direction, the net force will be the difference of forces.

Net force = 16.3 N-15.8 N

=0.5 N

The formula for net force is given by :

F = ma

a is the acceleration of the toy

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{0.5\ N}{0.62\ kg}\\\\a=0.8\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the toy is 0.8\ m/s^2.

Two students are playing paddle ball with a 5 kg spongy ball. If the ball is thrown at the batter with a speed of 5 m/s and boun
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

75 kgm/s

Explanation:

Impulse: This can be defined as the product of mass and change in velocity. The S.I unit is kgm/s.

From the question,

I = m(v-u)................... Equation 1

Where I = impulse, m = mass, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity.

Let the direction of the initial velocity be the positive direction.

Given: m = 5 kg, v = -10 m/s (bounce off), u = 5 m/s.

Substitute into equation 1

I = 5(-10-5)

I = 5(-15)

I = -75 kgm/s.

The negative sign tells that the impulse act in the same direction as the final velocity of the ball

Hence,

I = 75 kgm/s

Nutka1998 [239]
I made the drawing in the attached file.

I included two figures.

The upper figure shows the effect of:

- multiplying vector A times 1.5.
 It is drawn in red with dotted line.

- multiplying vector B times - 3 .
It is drawn in purple with dotted line.

In the lower figure you have the resultant vector: C = 1.5A - 3B.

The method is that you translate the tail of the vector -3B unitl the point of the vector 1,5A, preserving the angles.

Then you draw the arrow that joins the tail of 1,5A with the point of -3B after translation.

The resultant arrow is the vector C and it is drawn in black dotted line.

jek_recluse [69]
We know that the measure of an incident ray is:  α 1 = 40°.
The index of refraction:
- for the air : n 1 = 1.00,
- for the water: n 2 = 1.33
Snell`s Law of Refraction :
n 1 · sin α 1 = n 2 · sin α 2
sin α 2 = n 1 · sin α 1 / n 2 =
= 1.00 · sin 40° / 1.33 = 0.64278 / 1.33 = 0.4833
α 2 = sin ^(-1) 0.4833
α 2 = 28.9 °
Answer: The angle relative to the water`s surface of the rays when beneath the surface is 28.9°.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The maximum amount of mechanical energy converted to internal energy during the fall is 26.7 joules

Explanation:

Potential Energy (PE) = weight of baseball × height = 1.47N × 10m = 14.7Nm = 14.7 joules

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 12 joules

Maximum amount of mechanical energy converted to internal energy during the fall = PE + KE = 14.7 joules + 12 joules = 26.7 joules
