Jim is referring to Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, the forces canceling out do not mean that no work is being done. By pushing the box, even if there is an equal and opposite reaction, there is still a net force being applied, which will result in the box moving. So, Jim's statement is not entirely accurate.

What colour do you achieve when opposite colours neutralise one another?

What is a contra positive statement?

Conditional statements are also called "if-then" statements.One example: "If it snows, then they cancel school."The converse of that statement is "If they cancel school, then it snows."The inverse of that statement is "If it does not snow, then they do not cancel school.The contrapositive combines the two: "If they do not cancel school, then it does not snow."In mathematics:Statement: If p, then q.Converse: If q, then p.Inverse: If not p, then not q.Contrapositive: If not q, then not p.If the statement is true, then the contrapositive is also logically true. If the converse is true, then the inverse is also logically true.

Can kinetic energies cancel?

Yes, kinetic energies can cancel each other out when they are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. For example, two objects of equal mass moving in opposite directions with the same speed will have kinetic energies that cancel each other out. This results in a net kinetic energy of zero for the system.


When you evaluate an equation and x has a negative value if the equation states -x do they cancel?

Answer: You evaluate a question to find what the variable(s) equal. And yes, the negatives will cancel out, and x will be positive. Answer: If x is negative, then -x is positive. thank you that's what I thought x=-2 3+(-x)-6 =-1 right?


The size of two forces which cancel out each other?

If two forces cancel each other out, their magnitudes must be equal and opposite in direction. This means that the size of each force is the same but they act in opposite directions, resulting in a net force of zero.
