His third law "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" because the same force that you applied to the ground is applied to you.

What is a demonstration of newtons first law?

That you are pushing the earth down while the earth is pushing you up, so you stay where you are.


Which of Newton's can explain how gases released from burning fuel in a rocket produce thrust?

Newton's third law of motion can explain how gases released from burning fuel in a rocket produce thrust. This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, the rocket engine expels gases backward, creating an equal and opposite force pushing the rocket forward.


A sprinter of a mass 65.0 kg starts his race by pushing horizontally backward on the starting blocks with a force of 200 N What force causes him to accelerate out of the block?

The force of static friction between the sprinter's foot and the starting block causes him to accelerate out of the block. The static friction force acts forward on the sprinter, helping him overcome the backward force he exerts on the starting blocks.


A friend tells you that a rowboat is propelled forward by the force of its oars against the water First explain wheather the statement is correct and then identify the action and reaction and reac?

He is incorrect. Newton's 3rd law states that any force has an equal and opposite force. This means he pushes back on the water with the oars (normal), and this creates a forward normal force on the oars pushing the oars and the boat forward.


If a man pushes on a crate with 10 newtons of force and Fred the goat pushes with him with another 10 Newtons of force what is the net force of Fred and the man on the crate?

Fnet = F1+F2Force of man f1 = 10nForce of goat f2 = 10nSo,Fnet = 10+10Fnet=20n================================-- If Fred and the man are both pushing in the same direction, thenthe net force is 20 newtons.-- If they're not both pushing in the same direction, then the net forceis less than 20 N, but we don't have enough information to be able tonail down either the net force or its direction.

What causes a balloon to push forward when the air goes out?

When the air is released from a balloon, it creates a force pushing backward, in accordance with Newton's third law of motion. This backward force propels the balloon forward due to the equal and opposite reaction.


A boy pushing forward on a crate with a force of 100 newtons the reaction force is?

The reaction force is 100 newtons exerted by the crate on the boy in the opposite direction (Newton's third law).


Which Newtons law of motion can explain what happens when someone pushes a chair across the floor?

It will have no equilibruim and when you are pushing it you are using a force


When a swimmer pushes and kicks backward on the water to move forward he or she is using what?

The swimmer is using Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. By pushing and kicking backward on the water, the swimmer generates a force that propels them forward.


An 80kilogram skier slides on waxed skis along a horizontal slope of snow at constant velocity while pushing with his poles What is the horizontal component of the force pushing him forward?

40 newtons. give the explanation of this


Newtons third law examples?

A person walking exerts a force on the ground in the backward direction, and in response, the ground exerts an equal and opposite force in the forward direction on the person, allowing them to move forward. When a swimmer pushes against the water with their hands and feet, the water pushes back with an equal force, propelling the swimmer forward. The recoil of a gun when fired is due to Newton's third law - the force of the exploding gunpowder pushing the bullet forward also pushes the gun backward.


What Is an engine that burns fuel and moves forward by pushing exhaust backward?

An engine that burns fuel and moves forward by pushing exhaust backward is known as a jet engine. It operates on the principle of Newton's third law of motion, where the expulsion of exhaust gases at high velocity generates thrust, propelling the engine—and the vehicle attached to it—forward. Jet engines are commonly used in aircraft, providing the necessary power for flight by efficiently converting fuel into thrust.


How can you control gear change in an automatic car?

There are some automatic gear buttons. You can change them by pushing or pulling the handle of the gear forward or backward next to the correct button.


How bikes go forward when you are pushing the paddles backward?

A. only when you sit on the haldlebars and pedal ;-D A Unless it's a custom bike, or a bike with a real improbable fault, they don't.


Why do you need to do walk?

If there was no friction, your foot would simply slide back as you tried to take steps, and you would go nowhere. In order for something to move, it has to have a force moving it. That force has to have leverage, or friction. For the force pushing a person forward, there is an equal force pushing backward on the ground or floor. You can observe this by placing round pencils under a board, stand on it, and try to step off in the perpendicular direction : the board will roll backward as you step forward.


How does newtons law of motion apply to a cat running?

Newton's laws apply to a cat running because, the cats gravity to the ground, it's acceleration forward and the action/reaction of the cats paws pushing back off the ground springing it forward.
