Equal force acting in oppose direction?
You just stated the 3rd law of newton which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This basically means that anything you do has to be reacted upon back. even more simply put, if an action has to take place (like jumping from a boat) then an equal force of action acting in the opposite direction also has to take place (the boat moves back).
When you row a boat on the pond why does the boat go forward when you are pulling the oars towards you?
When you row a boat on a pond, you are usually facing the back of the boat. Also, the oars are usually attached in the middle of the oar to the side of the boat. So if you pull the handle of the oar towards the front of the boat (towards you when rowing), the paddle of the oar is moving towards the back of the boat (the oar acts like a lever-arm). To move a boat forward, you actually have to move water backward! It's pushing water back that really moves the boat forward. So, when you pull the oar towards you, the paddle moves towards the back of the boat, and that pushes water towards the back of the boat, pushing the boat the opposite direction, which is forward! Just make sure to turn around once in a while because you're not looking where you are going!
Where do windmills gets it energy?
It is the opposite to the way how old airplanes were propelled. They use the propeller. When the propeller is exposed to the wind it rotates automatically. (Compare with the boat propeller and water turbine.)
What one object exemplifies Newton's three laws of motion?
An example of Newton's 3rd law of motion is what happens when you jump off of an untethered boat. As you leap toward the dock, the boat goes backwards. This happens to the boat because of the opposite force caused by jumping towards the dock.
When a boatman wants to move away from the bank he pushes the bank with a pole.Why?
Equal & opposite reaction. OR A push always goes both ways. The force applied to the bank is also applied to the boat.
In which direction would a boat be travelling if it goes from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean and through the Panama Canal?
The boat would be travelling west. But..... the direction of travel through the canal is from North West to South East.
Which way do twin screw props on a boat rotate when propelling the boat forward?
In opposite direction, but they are designed to propel the boat forward even if they rotate in opposite directions.
If a boat traveled from new york to san fransisco which direction would you travel on the panama canal?
south
A man standing in a boat fires horizontally would the boat move in the direction of fire or none?
Newton's Third Law: For every force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. The boat (and man) would receive an impulse force opposite to the direction of firing. The boat would move opposite to the direction of firing. To determine how much, you would need to consider the relative masses of the boat/man vs the bullet, and include the duration of the impulse. (The boat would probably not move far, but it would move.)
How do you wait to go through panama canal?
there is a lift system. the boat passes through one gate and the boat is raised up/ lowered (depends on ur direction of travel). the water then fills/drains (depends on ur direction of travel) the area the boat is in until it matches the water levels on the outside of the gate, and the boat is then set free back into the canal to continue moving
What is Another name for canal boat?
The another name for canal boat is BARGE
What boat was first to sail on the Erie Canal?
The Seneca Chief was the first canal boat.
When you step shore from a rowing boat it tends to leave the shore?
This is an example of 'action' and 'reaction'. Every 'action', like stepping out of the boat on to the shore causes an equal and opposite 'reaction', as the boat moves in the opposite direction. This is also how rockets move in the vacuum of space.
What year was the first canal boat made?
for which canal
How long can a canal boat moor on the canal side?
Chicken
How do you say canal boat in french?
bateau sur le canal
How long does it take from the UK to sydney on a boat?
In 1975, it took 5 weeks to do the trip in the opposite direction, i.e. Sydney to Southampton, UK; It probably has not changed much since then. It took 6 weeks in 1966 to come through the Panama Canal via Tahiti and New Zealand, but faster ships were doing the voyage through the Suez Canal to Australia in about 4 weeks.
