Spring Tides are formed by the constructive interference of bulges created by the moon and sun. Spring Tides occur when the Sun, Moon and the Earth are aligned. Neap Tides are formed by the destructive interference created by the moon and sun. Neap tides occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth align to make a right angle.
Well first of all, you must realize that it depends on how the jumpers are distributed on the earth's surface. If,say, one billion of them are in the eastern hemisphere and the other billion are in the western one, then the sum of all of their momenta could easily be zero, and have no effect at all on the planet. I'm pretty sure what you must have in mind is to consider the Earth to be a block, with a flat upper surface, and all the people jump in the same direction.
average mass per person = 60 kg.
jump velocity = 7 m/s straight up and away from the block, all in the same direction
one person's worth of momentum = (m) (v) = 420 kg.m/s
sum of two billion of them = 8.4 x 10¹¹ kg-m/s all in the same direction
Earth's "recoil" momentum = 8.4 x 10¹¹ in the opposite direction = (m) (v)
Divide each side by 'm' : v = (momentum) / (mass) =
The Earth's "recoil" velocity is (8.4 x 10¹¹) / (5.98 x 10²⁴) =
1.405 x 10⁻¹³ m/s =
<em> 0.00000000014 millimeter per second
</em>I have no intuitive feeling for this kind of thing, so can't judge whether
the answer is reasonable. But my math and physics felt OK on the
way to the solution, so that's my answer and I'm sticking to it.
Answer:
Explanation:
1) The time of flight equation for projectile motion can be used here to find total time in air.
t = 2vsin∅ / g
where v is speed, Ф is launch angle
t = 2×4×sin 60 / 9.8
t = 0.71 seconds
2) Distance where it hit the ground is called as range and has the following standard equation
D = v² sin2Ф/g
D = 4²sin 2×60 / 9.8
D = 1.41m
3) Maximum elevation is maximum time reached
h = v² sin²Ф / 2g
h = 4²sin² 60 / 2*9.8
h = 0.61 m
