What are the action-reaction forces if a bug hits the windshield?

striking of bug is action while bug getting hurt is reaction -Thunder


Is there a purple bullet that can paralyze anywhere it hits?

No. That cartridge is actually a practice round for dry firing a weapon (people use them to practice with the action of a gun without harming the hammer)


How are the size an direction of action- reaction forces related?

According to Newton's Third Law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So, action-reaction forces are equal in magnitude (size) and opposite in direction. For example, a bug hits the windshield of a car. The force of the car on the bug is equal to the force of the bug on the car. The accelerations of the two are obviously different, because acceleration depends on mass. Unintuivie, but true.


According to newtons third law of motion when a hammer strikes and exerts force on to a nail the nail is what?

An object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an outside force. When the energy from the hammer hits the nail the hammer stops because its acted on by the nail. The nail takes on most of the energy and goes into whatever you might be nailing, like wood. The nail stops and the wood takes the energy and it just keeps going until the energy stops.


Are reaction forces always created after the action force?

I suppose this in a way depends on perspective at hand.A reaction force is directly opposite of action force.If a ball hit another ball, they actually hit each other at the same time with the same force if they are of the same size and mass.If a ball hit a football player, then the football player equally hit the ball but in proportion to mass. This happen at the same time.Now for the tricky part.The action force could be considered to trigger a reaction force different to what it would normally be because it is observed. Would this not make reaction force before action force?Still probably not valid.As a reaction force is directly opposite of action force, it would not matter if the football player hits the ball hard or not so hard as a result of what he sees. Energy exchanged will be different, but always in proportion to mass.The football player would only be exchanging action and reaction force with other objects/players before hitting the football, making another exchange of energy.Claim:All exchange of energy happens at the same time for both objects in proportion to their mass no matter the circumstances.Newtons third law.

What are the action and reaction forces when a hammer hits a nail?

The action force is the force exerted by the hammer on the nail. The reaction force is the force exerted by the nail on the hammer, according to Newton's third law of motion.


What is the reaction force when a hammer hits a nail?

The reaction force when a hammer hits a nail is called the law of motion. This motion falls under Newton's Third Law.


What is the reaction of force wen a hammer hits a nail?

When a hammer hits a nail, the force applied by the hammer causes the nail to experience an equal and opposite reaction force. This reaction force drives the nail into the surface it is being hammered into.


What is the reaction force when a hammer hit a nail?

The reaction force when a hammer hits a nail is called the law of motion. This motion falls under Newton's Third Law.


Why does a nail get warm when a hammer hits it?

A nail gets warm when a hammer hits it due to the conversion of kinetic energy from the hammer's impact into thermal energy. As the hammer strikes the nail, the force causes the molecules in the nail to vibrate more rapidly, increasing their energy and resulting in a rise in temperature. Additionally, friction between the nail and the hammer can also contribute to the heat generated during the impact.

When A hammer Hits A Nail What Energy Is Transferred?

When a hammer hits a nail, kinetic energy from the hammer is transferred to the nail, causing it to penetrate the surface. Some of the kinetic energy is also converted into sound and heat energy during the impact.


What is the difference between a drill with a hammer function and an impact drill?

The hammer function makes the tool make hits (like a hammer) without rotating. The impact drill means it will make hits and rotate at the same time. Usually you would use a masonry drill bit withe the impact drill function and a chisel for the hammer function.


What is DAO pistols?

DAO = Double Action Only. Pulling the trigger cocks the hammer (striker) until the trigger breaks and the hammer (or striker) hits the firing pin. A striker is like an internal hammer.


What happen when a hammer hits a nail?

When a hammer hits a nail, the force of the impact drives the nail into the material it is being hammered into. The head of the hammer transfers kinetic energy into the nail, causing it to penetrate the surface. Friction between the nail and the material helps keep it in place.


What do the equal action and reaction forces do not cancel each other when one person hits a ball?

The equal action and reaction forces do not cancel each other out when one person hits a ball because they act on different objects. The force exerted by the person hitting the ball causes the ball to accelerate in the direction of the force, while the reaction force from the ball pushes back on the person, causing them to feel the impact of hitting the ball.


Does a hammer make a sound when it hits a rock in space?

Yes, the potential for sound is made by the energy of the impact - (sound will occur in the hammer and in the rock), BUT the sound never leaves the hammer/rock as there is no air in space though which the sound waves can propagate.
