You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate toward you?

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.

When you stretch a spring 20 cm past its natural length, it exerts a force of 8
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

40 N/m

Explanation:

F = -kx (This is the Hooke's Law equation)

F is the force the spring exerts = 8 N

-k = spring constant

x = displacement (The distance stretched past it's natural length) = 20cm

x needs to be in meters, and 20 cm is = to 0.2 meters

Finally:

8N = -k (0.2m)

-k = 8N / 0.2 m

k = -40 N/m

What is amplitude?
nydimaria [60]
1. Frequency  is the number of complete waves that pass a point in a second.   2.Wavelength is the distance between two crests or two troughs.                     3.Time period <span> is the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point. 4. Amplitude is the height of the wave.   Hence option 4 is correct. </span>

James accelerates his skate board uniformly along a straight road from rest to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. What is James Acceleration?
lawyer [7]

Given:

u(initial velocity)=0

v(final velocity)= 10 m/s

t= 4 sec

Now we know that

v= u + at

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration measured in m/s^2

t is the time measured in sec

10=0+ax4

a=10/4

a=2.5 m/s^2

Thiết bị trao đổi nhiệt ngược chiều, nhiệt độ chất lỏng nóng vào là 310°C, ra là 115°c. Nhiệt độ chất lỏng lạnh vào là 25°c và r
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: 129.5 m

Explanation:

310 + 115 + 25 + 68 = 518

518 / 4 = 129.5 m

i think. Sorry if this is wrong
