The forward force you exert on the fish and your backward action will allow you to reach the shore.

<h3>Newton's third law of motion</h3>

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Fa = -Fb

Let's assume the fish is held in the hook, this will give you the opportunity to throw the fish forward while still holding it.

When the the fish is thrown forward, you will move backwards with an equal force based on Newton's third law. Your backward momentum towards the shore will help to maintain equal linear momentum between you and the fish.

Thus, this forward force of the fish and your backward action will allow you to reach the shore.

Two rocks of different masses are rolling down a hill at the same speed. Which rock (small one or big one) would have more kinet

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Kinetic energy of bigger rock will be more than that of smaller one.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the rock is given by,

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

As velocity of both the rocks are same. Thus, kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the rock

Kinetic energy ∝ mass

So, For greater mass kinetic energy will be greater and for smaller mass kinetic energy will be smaller.

Hence, Kinetic energy of bigger rock will be more than that of smaller one.

A railroad freight car, mass 15,000 kg, is allowed to coast along a level track at a speed of 2.0 m/s. It collides and couples w

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of car 1, m₁ = 15,000 kg

Mass of car 2, m₂ = 50,000 kg

Speed of car 1, u₁ = 2 m/s

Initial speed of car 2, u₂ = 0

Let V is the speed of the two cars after coupling. It is the case of inelastic collision. Applying the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V$

$V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

$V=\dfrac{15000\ kg\times 2\ m/s+0}{(15000\ kg+50000\ kg)}$

V = 0.46 m/s

So, the speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
