The forces exerted by earth and a skier become an action reaction force pair when the skier accelerates while earth doesnt seem

to move at all. expalin why the skier accelerates whu,e tthe earth doesn't seem to move at all?

Explanation:

We know from newton's 2nd law that F= m/a. That is force directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to acceleration. F is same for the skier and Earth but mass is different for both. m for earth is way larger than the m for skier. So, for constant Force , a of Earth must very small as compared with a of the skier.

An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its acceleration due to gravity. the astronaut throws a rock straight up wit
Tamiku [17]
Define
u = 16 m/s, the vertical launch velocity
g = acceleration due to gravity, measured positive downward
s = vertical distance traveled
t  = 21.2 s, total time of travel.

The vertical motion obeys the equation
s = ut - (1/2)gt²

When the rock is at ground level, s = 0.
Therefore
(16 m/s)(21.2 s) - 0.5*(g m/s²)*(21.2 s)² = 0
339.2 - 224.72g = 0
g = 1.5094 m/s²

Answer:
The acceleration due to gravity is 1.509 m/s² measured positive downward.

If a ball starts with the velocity of 2.0m/s and accelerates with a constant rate of 0.50m/s squared for 2.5s what is the balls
baherus [9]

Acceleration can be any change in speed, increasing or decreasing.
You haven't said whether the ball is speeding up or slowing down.

If its acceleration is positive ... speed is increasing ... then in 2.5 seconds,
it GAINS (0.5 m/s² x 2.5 sec) = 2.5 m/s of speed.  Added to its initial
speed of 2.0 m/s, it ends up moving at 4.5 m/s.

If its acceleration is negative ... speed is decreasing ... then in 2.5 seconds,
it LOSES (0.5 m/s² x 2.5 sec) = 2.5 m/s of speed.  Added to its initial
speed of 2.0 m/s, it ends up moving at  -0.5 m/s.  That means that it ends up
moving in the opposite direction compared to its direction at the beginning of
the change.

If the child pulls with a force of 20 N for 12.0 m , and the handle of the wagon is inclined at an angle of 25 ∘ above the horiz
lilavasa [31]

Answer: 217.52 N

Explanation: The applied force is 20 N, the distance covered is 12.0 m and the angle is 25° above the horizontal.

Hence the formulae that defines work done is given by

W = Force × distance

But since the force has been inclined at an angle θ above the horizontal, the horizontal component of force is neccesary to produce the required motion to make the child do work on the wagon.

Hence

Work done = (horizontal component of force) × distance

Work done = F cos θ × distance

Work done = 20 cos 25 × 12 = 217.52 N

What is speed of wave in terms of frequency and wavelength??​
ratelena [41]

Answer:

In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form, If the crest of an ocean wave moves a distance of 20 meters in 10 seconds, then the speed of the ocean wave is 2.0 m/s.

Speed = Wavelength x Wave Frequency. In this equation, wavelength is measured in meters and frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), or number of waves per second. Therefore, wave speed is given in meters per second, which is the SI unit for speed.
