1) WRONG. Since gravitational force is an attractive force.
2) WRONG. The Earth does accelerate but the acceleration is so small that it's negligible. However it DOES ACCELERATE.
3) CORRECT.
4) WRONG. Mass means gravitational field, so Nina might be small compared to the Earth but it still creates a gravitational field around her. This answer is also wrong because it's breaking Newton's third law of action-reaction. If Earth pulls Nina, then Nina pulls the Earth back with the same force. Yes, with the SAME FORCE, however F=m*a, so the great difference in mass makes Nina's acceleration much bigger than the Earth's one.

The radius of curvature of a highway exit is r = 93.5 m. The surface of the exit road is horizontal, not banked. (See figure.)
trapecia [35]

Static friction keeps the car from skidding off the road and points toward the center of the curve. By Newton's second law, the car experiences

• net vertical force

F [normal] - F [weight] = 0

• net horizontal force

F [friction] = ma = mv²/r

where v is the tangential speed of the car.

It follows that

F [normal] = F [weight] = mg

and when static friction is maximized at the car's maximum speed,

F [friction] = µ F[normal] = 0.402 mg

Solve for v :

0.402 mg = mv²/r   ⇒   v = √(0.402 g (93.5 m)) ≈ 19.2 m/s

A motorcycle being driven on a dirt path hits a
Colt1911 [192]
Impulse = mass * change in velocity (change in momentum) = Force * change in time

So, F=(m*change in v)/(change in t)
F=(60*20)/0.5=2400N

Therefore the magnitude of the average force exerted on the cyclist by the haystack is 2.4*10^3N

What causes wind how does the process reverse itself between day and night?
iris [78.8K]
<span>Wind is nature's way of balancing the temperature between hot and cold. Wind always flows from heat to cool. When night falls, the air cools. And since it gets cooler at night it reverses.</span>

In a refrigerator, energy is used to make thermal energy flow from the inside of the refrigerator to the outside. Use a law of t
Vaselesa [24]

Explanation:

According to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, heat will always flow spontaneously from hot to cold, and never the other way around. A refrigerator causes heat to flow from cold to hot by inputting work, which cools the space inside the refrigerator. thermal energy is transferred from the cool air inside the refrigerator to the warmer air in the kitchen. ... As a liquid, the refrigerant absorbs thermal energy from the cool air inside the refrigerator and changes to a gas.
