When a boy push down on a diving board what reaction force is that?
The reaction force when a boy pushes down on a diving board is the diving board pushing back up on the boy with an equal force, according to Newton's Third Law of Motion.
Why can you hold an eraser against the board and prevent it from slipping down vertically by applying a horizontal force?
When you apply a horizontal force on the eraser, it creates a frictional force between the eraser and the board in the opposite horizontal direction. This frictional force counteracts the force of gravity acting on the eraser, preventing it from slipping down vertically. This is known as static friction, where the surfaces are not sliding past each other.
When a boy pushes down on an diving board what is the reaction force?
The reaction force when a boy pushes down on a diving board is the diving board pushing up on the boy with an equal force. This is in accordance with Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is an example of an reaction force?
When a person jumps off a diving board, the force pushing the person upward (reaction force) is caused by the person pushing down on the diving board (action force). The reaction force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the action force, according to Newton's third law of motion.
Which force makes us slow down when you slide?
Gravity
What makes the governors go up and down?
centrifugal force
What force makes a straw and clay ball float even though there is a force pulling them down?
The force that makes a straw and clay ball float is called buoyancy. This force is caused by the difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the object, pushing it upwards in a liquid like water. This buoyant force is able to counteract the force of gravity, causing the objects to float.
What is the name of the force that makes you slow down and stop?
The force that makes an object slow down and stop is called friction. Friction is the resistance encountered when one object moves in contact with another.
When a diver jumps off a diving board gravity pulls him down to the water what is the reaction force to earths gravity?
While he's in the air, the reaction force is air resistance and when he's in the water the reaction force is upthrust. Hope this helps.
What makes a horse carry its head down?
You can train the horse to hold his head down or you can force him to using a tie down.
What is the force called that makes a parachute go up?
The force that makes a parachute go up is called drag. As the parachute deploys, it creates drag by slowing down the descent of the person wearing it, leading to an upward force that helps to slow down their fall.
What force makes a pirate ship swing down?
Get attacked by another ship
