When we jump from the truck and accelerate towards the earth surface, the earth also accelerates towards us but it's acceleration is very negligible.
To find the answer, we need to know about the acceleration of earth due to the gravitational attraction.
<h3>What's the gravitational force between the earth and a person?</h3>
- Gravitational attraction force is GMm/r² between the earth and a person.
- M= mass of the earth
m= mass of the person
r= separation between them.
<h3>What's the acceleration of the earth towards the person when he jumps from a truck?</h3>
- According to Newton's second law, Force = M×acceleration
- Acceleration= Force / M
- Here, Force = GMm/r²,
so acceleration of earth= Gm/r²
- As this acceleration is very small, so we can't notice it.
Thus, we can conclude that the earth also accelerates towards us.

The distance in meters she would have moved before she begins to slow down is 11.25 m
<h3>
LINEAR MOTION</h3>
A straight line movement is known as linear motion
Given that Ann is driving down a street at 15 m/s. Suddenly a child runs into the street. It takes Ann 0.75 seconds to react and apply the brakes.
To know how many meters will she have moved before she begins to slow down, we need to first list all the given parameters.
From definition of speed,
speed = distance / time
Make distance the subject of the formula
distance = speed x time
distance = 15 x 0.75
distance = 11.25m
Therefore, the distance in meters she would have moved before she begins to slow down is 11.25 m

Answer:
So a=3.844 and b=5
Explanation:
Scientific notation requests to write a number using powers of ten as a factor accompanying a real number (a) between 1 and smaller than 10 that contains the digits to exactly represent the original number. So in this case, the number 384,400 can be written as:
with a=3.844, and "5" as the exponent of ten (so b=5)
It is 72 km/h

The correct answer is
Air resistance
In fact, when a ball is in free fall, there are two forces acting on it:
- its weight (force of gravity), acting downward
- the air resistance, acting upward
The effect of the weight is to accelerate the ball, because its direction is the same as the direction of motion of the ball, while the effect of the air resistance is to slow down the ball, because its direction is opposite to that of the motion.
