What happens when you kick a stone your foot exerts a force on the stone and the stone exerts a force in size and in direction on your foot?

When you kick a stone, your foot exerts a force on the stone, causing it to move away. Simultaneously, the stone exerts an equal force back on your foot in the opposite direction, which can cause your foot to experience a reaction force or potential pain, depending on the force exerted by the stone.


How do you explain newtons third law in your own words?

newtons 3rd law states that if object A exerts a force on object B then, object Bwill exert the same amount of force on object A( newtons 3rd law of motion states that for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction )


Action reaction force pairs act on what?

All Forces! For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs"


When a truck pulls a trailer the trailer and truck accelerate forward even though the action and reaction forces are the same size but in opposite directions Why don't these forces balance each othe?

While the forces between the truck and trailer are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, they act on different objects (truck and trailer) resulting in acceleration of the entire system. The truck exerts a force on the trailer causing it to accelerate forward, and in return, the trailer exerts an equal and opposite force on the truck. As both objects have different masses, this results in them accelerating in the direction of the larger force, which is from the truck to the trailer.

A man pushes on a wall with a force of 50 N. What are th size and direction of ghe force that exerts the man?

The wall exerts a reaction force of 50 N on the man, equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force that the man exerts on the wall.


When a man pushes on a wall with a force of 50 N . what are the size and the direction of the force that the wall exerts on the man?

The wall exerts a force of 50 N back on the man, as per Newton's third law of motion. This force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force applied by the man.

newton's third law


If vector quantities are the quantities that have size and direction so why force is known as vector quantity?

First, a force has 'size'. A bowling ball exerts a larger force on the floor than a golf ball does, and thegolf ball exerts a larger force on a tabletop than a housefly does. Also, it has been suggested that aswimmer exerts a smaller force on a stationary pier than a battleship does.Second, a force has 'direction'. You yourself, in the privacy of your own home, can push a small packageleft, right, forward, backward, up, down, or any of these in combination.The force is completely described by its size and direction, which makes it a vector.


What is a force that pushes an object moving through air?

Air resistance, also known as drag, is a force that pushes against an object moving through air. This force acts in the opposite direction to the object's motion, slowing it down. It is dependent on factors like the object's shape, size, and speed.


How does the size of how does the size of the force exerted by earths gravity on a car compare with the size of the force the car exerts on earth?

The force exerted by Earth's gravity on a car is equal in size (magnitude) to the force the car exerts on Earth. This is described by Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


Does force have size and direction?

Yes, force has both size and direction. The size of a force is measured in units such as newtons, while the direction indicates the way in which the force is applied. It is important to consider both size and direction when describing or calculating forces in a physical system.

Is direction a force?

I don't know but Force has Magnitude and Direction (and it also has size).


How does the size of force exerted by earths gravity on a car compare with the size of the force the car exerts on earth?

The magnitude of the force is exactly the same (Newton's Third Law).


What is the force a skateboard exerts on you if your mass is 60k and you push on the skateboard with a force of 60n?

The force the skateboard exerts on you would be equal and opposite to the force you exert on the skateboard, according to Newton's third law. Therefore, the skateboard would exert a force of 60N on you.
