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 !

Why is the metric system used globally, but we use the US customary units?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The biggest reasons the U.S. hasn't adopted the metric system are simply time and money. When the Industrial Revolution began in the country, expensive manufacturing plants became a main source of American jobs and consumer products.

If the direction of the position is north and the direction of the velocity is up, then what is the direction of the angular mom
Kay [80]

Answer:

the direction of angular momentum = EAST

Explanation:

given

Direction of position = r = north

Direction of velocity = v = up

angular momentum = L = m(r x v)

where m is the mass, r is the radius, v is the velocity

utilizing the right hand rule, the right finger heading towards the course of position vector and curl them toward direction of velocity, at that point stretch thumb will show the bearing of the angular momentum.

then L = north x up = East
