It’s winter and you need to remove snow from your garden. You use a shovel. Why does moving it backwards once the snow is on it, removes the snow?. What is the Newton ́s Law behind this?

A decorative light fixture in an elevator includes a 1.7 kg light suspended by acable from the ceiling of the elevator. At the bottom of this light, a second cablesuspends another 0.40 kg light. The elevator is moving downward at 3.6 m/s whensomeone presses the emergency stop button. During the stop, the upper cablesnaps. The elevator engineer says that the cable could withstand a force of 40 Nwithout breaking. How long does it take for the elevator to stop?
Suppose you jump from the cliffs of Acapulco and perform a perfectswan dive. As you fall, you exert an upward force on the Earth equalin magnitude to the downward force the Earth exerts on you. Why,then, does it seem that you are the one doing all the accelerating?Since the forces are the same, why aren’t the accelerations?

I have a question for elevator problems: Newton's law states that there is always an equal and opposite force. But for elevator problems, if it accelerates upwards... we say that the normal force is greater than the gravitational force. So is Newton's third law still applied here and if so how? Because technically the opposite force is not equal in magnitude for it to be able to accelerate
Hello! I am looking for soltions to a question which has already been posted on your site I believe. Its from the text book Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Chapter 5 Laws of motion: A block of mass 2.20 kg is accelerated across a rough surface by a rope passing over a pulley, as shown in figure P5.52. The tension in the rope is 10.0 N, and the pulley is 10.0 cm above the top of the block. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.400. A) Determine the acceleration of the block when x= 0.400 m. B) Find the value of x at which the acceleration becomes zero. Thank you!!! ;o)
