C.
18 / x = 12 / 4
12x = 72
x = 6mm

When you jump, you push down on the earth and it pushes back up against you. The earth pushing up against you is what causes you

MissTica

That's a great question !

The answer is:<em> It does !</em>

A push on an object causes the object to <u><em>accelerate</em></u> in the direction of the force.

The <em>less</em> mass the object has, the <em>more</em> the force accelerates it.

Now, when you jump, the forces on you and on the Earth are equal forces.

The up force on you causes you to accelerate up by some amount.

The down force on the Earth causes the Earth to accelerate down by some amount.

The Earth's mass is something like 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg, while your mass is something like 50 kg.

The Earth has something like 119,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 <em>times</em> as much mass as you have.

So your acceleration is something like 119,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 <em>times as great as the Earth's acceleration.</em>

==> The Earth's downward acceleration, caused by your jump, is there. It's just too small to notice.

<em>BUT . . .</em> That's the reason why seismometers (instruments to detect and measure the vibrations from distant earthquakes) have to be located as far as possible from cities and busy roads.

In places that are too close to cities and roads, the Earth's surface is always vibrating, wiggling, jiggling, heaving and weaving, in reaction to the forces of people walking around, cars and trucks driving around, even rain falling down. And kids jumping up and down !

In such places, these people-motions are louder and stronger than the vibrations coming from distant earthquakes. Seismometers wouldn't work there.

Preston tossed a red ball upward and it reaches a maximum height of 3.0. What is the final velocity when it returns to prestons

Leokris [45]

That will depend on the units of the 3.0. We need to know if it's 3 feet, 3 yards, 3 meters, or 3 miles. Each one will have a different answer.

When a star goes from the main sequence to the red giant phase, it becomes larger rather than smaller. This is true because grav

GuDViN [60]

I believe this is electron degeneracy, because the star is essentially having too many reactions too fast and collapses in on itself eventually.

You decide to roll a 0.11-kgkg ball across the floor so slowly that it will have a small momentum and a large de Broglie wavelen

Oksanka [162]

The de Broglie wavelength $\lambda = 4.0\times 10^{-30}$ m

We know that

de Broglie wavelength = $\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}\lambda = \frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{0.11\times 1.5 \times 10 ^{-3}}$

$\lambda = 4.0\times 10^{-30}$ m

<h3>What is de Broglie wavelength?</h3>

According to the de Broglie equation, matter can behave like waves, much like how light and radiation do, which are both waves and particles. A beam of electrons can be diffracted just like a beam of light, according to the equation. The de Broglie equation essentially clarifies the notion of matter having a wavelength.

Therefore, whether a particle is tiny or macroscopic, it will have a wavelength when examined.

The wave nature of matter can be seen or observed in the case of macroscopic objects.
