The earths gravity is pulling on you, Are you pulling on the earth Explain your reasoning with evidence

Physics

Degger [83]3 years ago

Yes, you are pulling on the Earth, with equal force.
Your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you.

I can't think of a way for you to go out and see it or measure it,
but there are two things we learn in Physics that tell us that it
must be true.

#1). Newton's 3rd Law of motion:
For every action, there is an equal, opposite reaction.
If the Earth pulls on me, then I must pull on the Earth with an
equal, opposite force.

#2). Newton's law of universal gravitation:

Gravitational force = (a Constant) · (mass₁) · (mass₂) / (distance)² .

Take a good, long, hard look at this formula for the gravitational force.

It tells the strength of the gravitational force between the Earth and you.
But it doesn't say WHICH object is (mass₁) and which object is (mass₂) !
It doesn't matter ! BOTH objects feel the same gravitational force !

A certain unbalanced force gives a 5kg object an acceleration of 15 m/s2. What would be the acceleration if the same force was a
stira [4]

Answer:

a2 = 2.5 m/s2

Explanation:

F1 = m1 a1 We use the same force so F1 = F2

= 5kg × 15m/s2 F2 = m2 a2

= 75N a2 is required

a2 = F2 / m2

= 75N / 30 kg

= 2.5 m/s2

How does a sound wave transfer energy to your ears?
inessss [21]

Answer:

I think it's C!

Explanation:

Sound waves travel at 343 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your eardrum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.

Hope this helps!

How much energy is needed to generate 0.71 x 10-16 kg of mass?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

6.39 J of energy is needed to generate 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg mass

Explanation:

According to the Equation: E = mc²

where the mass, m = 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg

the speed of light, c = 3 * 10⁸ m/s

The amount of energy needed to generate a mass of 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ kg is calculated as follows:

E = (0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶) (3 * 10⁸)²

E = 0.71 * 10⁻¹⁶ * 9 * 10¹⁶

E = 0.71 * 9

E = 6.39 J

A car is traveling at 75 m/s. 50 seconds later it is traveling at 25 m/s. What is the car’s acceleration?
scoray [572]

Answer:

a = -1 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vi = 75 m/s

Vf = 25 m/s

t = 50 s

Plug those values into the following equation:

Vf = Vi + at

25 = 75 + 50a

---> a = -1 m/s^2

When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it<br><br>causes​
geniusboy [140]

Explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 0.015 A

Voltage, V = 240 volts

We need to find the resistance. Using Ohm's law we can find it as follows :

V=IR\\\\R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{240}{0.015}\\\\R=16000\ \Omega

So, When a current of 0.015 A passes through human body at 240 volts p.d it  causes​  16000 ohms of resistance.
