a) State Newton's third law of motion. b) Give two examples to illustrate?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a) Two every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. b) Examples (1). While walking we press the ground with out feet in the backward direction (action): The ground exerts an equàl and opposite force on us (reaction) and thus.unable us to move forward. (2) When a cricket ball is hit by a bat, the force on the báll at the time of collision is equal and opposite to the force on the ball at that time.

    Assertion : A pulse travels along a stretched string and reaches the fixed end. It will be reflected back with a phase change of 180^(@) with no reversal of velocity. Reason : When a wave reaches the fixed end, then according to Newton's third law of motion, it undergoes a reversal of amplitude which implies a phase change of pi or 180^(@) .
