What else can I help you with?
What was newton the first to realize about acceleration?
Newton first realized that acceleration depends on the amount of force applied to that object
What unbalanced force did newton reason makes an apple fall?
Newton reasoned that the force of gravity pulling the apple towards the ground was the unbalanced force causing the apple to fall.
What is the application of Newton's third law of motion in the context of eggs?
When an egg is dropped, Newton's third law of motion states that the force of the egg hitting the ground is equal and opposite to the force the ground exerts on the egg. This can help explain why the egg breaks upon impact with the ground.
Why doesn't the ground fly up when you take my foot off it if according to Newton's Third Law the ground pushes up on my foot with a force equal to the force of my foot pressing on the ground?
Well, if you don't push down the normal force will not push back.
Is jumping an example of Newton's third law in action?
Yes, jumping is an example of Newton's third law in action. When you push down on the ground, the ground pushes back with an equal and opposite force, propelling you into the air.
When you jump up you exert an action force on the ground What is the reaction force?
The reaction force when you jump up is the ground pushing up on you with an equal force in the opposite direction, as described by Newton's third law of motion. This reaction force from the ground allows you to generate enough propulsion to overcome gravity and launch yourself into the air.
Why does the ground push back with equal force when you walk?
When you walk, you push the ground backward with the same force that the ground pushes you forward. This is an example of Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, the force you apply on the ground causes it to push back on you with the same force, allowing you to move forward.
A free-falling golf ball strikes the ground and exerts a force on it. Which sentences are true about this situation?
The ball exerts a force on the ground that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force that the ground exerts on the ball. The force on the ground causes a deformation in the surface, resulting in a corresponding reaction force from the ground on the ball. The impact of the golf ball on the ground demonstrates Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Why is it hard to run on ice?
you can walk on the ground because of Newton's third law! One foot exerts a force on the ground in a backward direction (try walking away from a skateboard...) and the reaction force from the ground on you is what pushes you forward. On ice there is much less friction to be able to push backward, hence there will be much less reaction force pushing you forward. That's the physics of it, Newton's third law!
How many pounds in one newton?
In one newton there is 0.224808943 pounds of force, and in a pound of force there are 4.44822162 newtons of force. Note that a Newton is a unit of force, not mass. actually a newton is 0.00571014716277 pounds of force!!
Is it true that when you jump on the ground the Earth exerts a greater force back up on you because it is so massive?
That is false. Please take a look at Newton's Third Law. The opposing force MUST BE of the same magnitude. For example, if you temporarily exert a force of 2000 newton (by jumping, the force will temporarily be greater than your weight), then the opposing force will also be 2000 newton.
When you are standing on the ground how much upward force is exerted on you by the earth?
When standing on the ground, the Earth exerts a force equal to your weight in the downward direction (gravitational force) and you exert an equal force in the upward direction on the Earth (reaction force) as per Newton's Third Law of Motion.
