True or false? You exert a push P on an object, and it pushes back on you with a force F. If the object is moving at a constant velocity, then F is equal to P, but if the object is being accelerated, then P must be greater than F.

Short Answer

Expert verified

False because equal and opposite forces, as stated in the third law, act on two different bodies.

Step by step solution

01

Define the Newton’s 3rd law

The first body exerts a force on the second body, and the second body exerts an equal and opposite force on the first body.

F12=-F21

This action and reaction of forces act on different bodies. These forces act on each other as long the objects are in contact.

02

Determine the conclusion for the give case:

The push P exerted by you will always equal the reaction force F on you. These two forces are acting on two different bodies. On the object, only push P is exerted by you, and the object will exert an equal force on you in the opposite direction.

And now, if it is moving at constant velocity (zero acceleration), then there is no push P on the object and, as a result, no reaction force F on you. Hence both will be zero in this case.

If the object accelerates, P exerted by you will always be equal to the reaction force F on you, as explained above.

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown 5150 km away, and released. The bird found its way back to its nest 13.5 days after release. If we place the origin at the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird鈥檚 average velocity in (a) for the return flight and (b) for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning?

A driver in Massachusetts was sent to traffic court for speeding. The evidence against the driver was that a policewoman observed the driver鈥檚 car alongside a second car at a certain moment, and the policewoman had already clocked the second car going faster than the speed limit. The driver argued, 鈥淭he second car was passing me. I was not speeding.鈥 The judge ruled against the driver because, in the judge鈥檚 words, 鈥淚f two cars were side by side, both of you were speeding.鈥 If you were a lawyer representing the accused driver, how would you argue this case?

A juggler throws a bowling pin straight up with an initialspeed of 8.20 m/s. How much time elapses until the bowling pinreturns to the juggler鈥檚 hand?

On a training flight, a student pilot flies from Lincoln, Nebraska, to Clarinda, Iowa, next to St. Joseph, Missouri, and then to Manhattan, Kansas

(Fig. P1.66). The directions are shown relative to north: 0is north, 90is east, 180is south, and 270is west. Use the method of components to find (a) the distance she has to fly from Manhattan to get back to Lincoln, and (b) the direction (relative to north) she must fly to get there. Illustrate your solutions with a vector diagram.
