What would happen to a wall if you push on it with a force of 10N?

It pushes back with an equal force (10 N).
If it can not, then it falls over.

Is painting a wall push or pull?
It's a push
What law of motion is it when you feel a force against the sole of your foot as you take a step forward?
Newton's 3rd law of motion states is basic terms that for every action there is an equal, but opposite reaction (if you push against a wall with force F, then the wall will push back with force -F). When you walk/run forward, you exert a force on the ground that goes diagonally down and backward. The equal, but opposite reaction is the ground exerting a force on your foot that is diagonally up and forward (exactly opposite that applied by your foot). This helps to propel you forward as you walk or run.
What is the formula for newton's third law?
There is not technically a formula for the Third Law of Motion. It is simply a concept that explains 'reactionary' forces that exist in our everyday life. Yet, symbolically, the Third Law of Motion can be depicted as: Fa = -Fb Force applied depicted as, Fa, is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to Fb. An example of this idea would be if a person punched a concrete wall. The reason he is hurt by punching a concrete wall is because the wall applies a force equal in magnitude (as his applied force) but opposite in direction on the person.
How does the movement of air molecules cause air pressure?
Each molecule bounces off an object pushing a little bit of force on that object. These add up to create the overall force. Imagine thousands of baseballs hitting a moving wall the balls will push the wall. This is basically a scaled up version of a demonstration of how pressure works.
Does all of a force do work?
Forces only do work if they move things. You could push on a brick wall all day but you would still not do any work. If you stand still, your feet are pushing on the ground, but you are not doing any work, You could be asleep. So, forces only do work if they move and actually do something. In cases where you might say that only half of a force did work, then it's best to say that you have two forces. One that did work and one that did nothng. In cases where a force has only done half the work, then you would have to wait for that force to finish the other half, or get a new force.
If you push a wall with a force of 200 N with what force does the wall push back?
200 N
When you push against a wall with your fingers they bend because they experience a force Identify this force?
you push on the wall and the wall pushes back on you with opposite and equal force.
If you stand next to a wall on a frictionless skateboard and push the wall with a force of 40 N how hard does the wall push on you?
40 newtons
What is the force needed for you trying to push a brick wall over?
depends on the wall.
When you push against a wall with your fingers they bend because they experience a force. What is this force?
It is the force of the wall pushing against your fingers. This is related to Newton's Third Law.
When you push against a wall with your fingers they bend because they experience a force. Identify this force.?
Kinetic energy/force.
Dose every type of force do some sort of work?
No! An example would be. If U tryed to push a wall, Ur applying force but no work is being done!
What is an example for conservation of momentum?
the equal force applied by a wall when you push agaginst it
I push a wall and it pushes back as long as I do - where does this infinite reaction force comes from?
The reaction force is not infinite; it is finite. For example, if you push with a force of 100N, the wall will push back with a force of 100N.If you are thinking that this requires an unlimited amount of energy, then you are confusing the concepts of force and energy. Energy is only required if the force is applied over a certain distance - the energy (or work) required to pull or push an object is equal to the force multiplied by the distance. In the example you give, the wall doesn't budge, so you have a force of 100 N times a distance of zero meters, equals an energy of 0 Joule.
How much is 50 newtons worth of force?
This is newtons third law in action, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you push on a wall with 50 newtons of force, the wall will not move, and it will have no acceleration. To make the sum of the forces zero, the wall must push back on you with the same 50 newton force. This is implying that you do not push on the wall hard enough to were it breaks. If it does this it means you are overcoming the force that the wall can push back.
How would spinning a spacecraft provide artificial gravity?
Centrifugal force would push the astronauts away from the center of the spacecraft. If the spacecraft was shaped like a ring, the wall furthest away from the center would act as a floor and the wall closest would act as a ceiling.
Why doesn't a wall move when you push it?
The pushing force exerted by physical human effort against the wall is not enough! If the pushing force becomes greater than the weight of the wall held down by the earth's gravity, then the wall will topple. A mechanical digger is able to exert a greater side force then a human, and will topple (demolish) the wall.
