What happens when you exert force on an abject and it exerts force on you?

According to Newtons 3rd law, "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction". if you exert force on an object, the object will exert an equal and opposite force on you. when the forces exerted by you and the object balance a state of equilibrium is attained. however if you exert a force greater than the weight of the body, the body begins to move and work is done.

What is the difference between tensile strength and tensile stress?

tensile stress is the force ehich applies on a body and the force exert by this body against this force is called tensile strength... simply tansile strength measure the force required the force to pull yhe body like rope and wire .


Does Earth exert a upward or downward force on your body?

Earth exerts a downward (towards the ground or Earth) force on your body. At the same time, your body exerts an upward (towards your body) force on the Earth. Your body is the one that seems to move, however, because the mass of your body is so much less than the mass of the Earth.


What direction does pressure act in liquid?

if you are asking in which direction does a liquid exert pressure on the object? then, liquid exert force in the upward direction which is called buoyancy. Brief description: when a body is partially or wholly immersed, it displaces the fluid. the displaced fluid had tendency to regain it's original position position. due to this, an upward force is exerted on the body by the displaced fluid. this upward force actiong on the the body immersed in a fluid is called upward thrust or buoyancy force or simply buoyancy.

How does the earths radius affect the gravitational force on a object at its surface?

The Earth and the object exert a gravitational force on each other, but only the Earth's is big enough to measure. So, the formula for gravitational force include the distance from one body's surface to its center and the same for the other body. The length of the radius is directly proportional to the body's gravitational force.

Can a body exert force on another body without physical contact?

Yes, through gravity and magnetism.


IN what direction does a liquid exert force?

How many forces exert upon freely falling body?

Exactly one . . . the gravitational force.


What is the upward force exerted on a body by that into which it is immersed?

When a body is immersed in water , due to pressure difference between upper surface and lower surface of the body an unbalanced upward force acts on a body . This unbalanced upward force is called Buoyancy force

Can ground reaction force on the athlete's foot be greater than their body weight?

Yes; a running athlete can exert up to 4 times their body weight in force upon the ground.

Does earth the moon and sun have gravity?

Yes, they have gravity. In fact, anything that has mass will have a gravitational force - the more mass a body has, the more gravitational force it will exert.


How much force can human body exert on a surfboard?

The force that a human body can exert on a surfboard is its weight. Weight is the gravitational force acting on a body's mass, and is determined by multiplying the acceleration due to gravity (g), 9.81m/s2, times the person's mass in kilograms. The unit for weight is the Newton (N). For example, if a person has a mass of 75.5kg, his weight in Newtons will be 75.5kg x 9.81m/s2 = 741N.
