Why when you walk on a log that is floating on the water does the log move backwards?
Newton's Law - For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In order for you to move forward, there must be a force going backward. That is evidenced by the backward motion of the log.
What is a thick piece of wood?
log
What are the three different mechanisms that can be used in lifting up wooden logs?
Using a log tongs or hook to grab and lift the log. Using a winch or come-along attached to a tree or anchor point. Rolling the log onto a skid, sled, or log arch for easier transportation.
How action and reaction forces are work when a frog jumps from a log?
When a frog jumps from a log, it pushes against the log with a force (action force) which propels it forward. Simultaneously, the log exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction force) back on the frog, enabling it to launch into the air. This is in accordance with Newton's third law of motion - for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What are the properties of floating log of wood transported by water?
A floating log of wood will be buoyant in water due to its low density, allowing it to remain on the surface. It may also drift with the current of the water, potentially traveling long distances. The log's shape, size, and weight will influence its stability and how it interacts with the water.
