Perhaps forces.

When you fire a gun, you have an explosion of gunpowder that ejects the bullet forward at a high velocity. The gun kicks back in an opposite direction from the firing with a force equal to that which expelled the bullet, but in the opposite direction.

Another example might be ice skating (without braking). If one person pushes the other backward... the pushing person will also be pushed backward with equal force. Acceleration/velocity, of course would be dependent on the relative weights.

An example of equal and opposite pairs is Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For instance, when a person pushes against a wall with a certain force (action), the wall pushes back with an equal force in the opposite direction (reaction).

What is the opposite sides are parallel?

In a rectangle, opposite sides are of equal length. So basically, the two shorter sides are the same length as each other, and the two bigger sides are equal length to each other. However, the short and long sides aren't equal.

To draw a quadrangle that has 2 pairs of equal sides but is Not a parallelogram?

A kite shape is one example -- 2 long sides adjacent to each other & 2 short sides adjacent to each other.


Does a kite have a parralel lines?

no. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No, but it does have some of the properties of a true parallelogram. It is a quadrilateral and has two pairs of sides of equal lengths. In the parallelogram each long side meets a short side and its opposite angles are equal. In the kite the two long sides meet together, and the two shorter sides meet together. If you draw in the diagonals of the kite you will find f our pairs of equal angles, and the diagonals cross each other at right angles.

What shape has 2 short sides and 2 long sides?

Without knowing their arrangement or the angles involved, all you can say is that it is a quadrilateral (4 sides). If the long sides are opposite, parallel, and equal in length -- and if the short sides are opposite, parallel, and equal in length -- you have a parallelogram. If all of the angles of the parallelogram are right angles, you have a rectangle.
