You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate toward you?
Triss [41]

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.

A student must design an experiment to determine the gravitational mass of an object. Which of the following experiments could t
Elena L [17]

Answer: a. Place the object on one side of a lever at a known distance away from the fulcrum. Place known masses on the other side of the fulcrum so that they are also paced on the lever at known distance from the fulcrum. Move the known masses to a known distance such that the lever is in static equilibrium.

d. Place the object on the end of a vertically hanging spring with a known spring constant. Allow the spring to stretch to a new equilibrium position and measure the distance the spring is stretched from its original equilibrium position.

Explanation:

The options are:

a. Place the object on one side of a lever at a known distance away from the fulcrum. Place known masses on the other side of the fulcrum so that they are also paced on the lever at known distance from the fulcrum. Move the known masses to a known distance such that the lever is in static equilibrium.

b. Place the object on a surface of negligible friction and pull the object horizontally across the surface with a spring scale at a non constant speed such that a motion detector can measure how the objects speed as a function of time changes.

c. Place the object on a surface that provides friction between the object and the surface. Use a surface such that the coefficient of friction between the object and the surface is known. Pull the object horizontally across the surface with a spring scale at a nonconstant speed such that a motion detector can measure how the objects speed as a function of time changes.

d. Place the object on the end of a vertically hanging spring with a known spring constant. Allow the spring to stretch to a new equilibrium position and measure the distance the spring is stretched from its original equilibrium position.

Gravitational mass simply has to do with how the body responds to the force of gravity. From the options given, the correct options are A and D.

For option A, by balancing the torque, the mass can be calculated. Since the known mass and the distance has been given here, the unknown mass can be calculated.

For option D, here the gravitational force can be balanced by the spring force and hence the mass can be calculated.

Consider an electromagnetic wave where the electric field of an electromagnetic wave is oscillating along the z-axis and the mag
aalyn [17]

Answer:

<em>The wave will be travelling in the y-axis</em>

Explanation:

An e-m wave has a spatially varying electric field that is always associated with a magnetic field that changes over time and vice versa. The electric field and the magnetic field oscillates perpendicularly to each other, and together form a wave that travels in a perpendicular direction to the magnetic and the electric field in space. The movement of the e-m wave through space is usually away from the source where it is generated. So, if the electric field travels in the z-axis, and the magnetic field travels through along the x-axis, then the e-m wave generated will travel in the y-axis direction.
