Answer:

True, because unlike the apple we don't have a large as$ refrence point (the earth is too big to notice being pushed)

Explanation:

Yes, this is true.

-- While the apple is falling, the same gravitational force acts on both the apple and the Earth.

-- The mass of the apple is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1/4 kg.

-- The mass of the Earth is about 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg.

-- Since the Earth has roughly 2.389 x 10²⁶ times as much mass as the apple has, the apple has roughly 2.389 x 10²⁶ greater acceleration than the Earth has, and moves roughly 2.389 x 10²⁶ times as far down as the Earth moves up, before they smack together.

-- That's why you don't notice the Earth's motion.

-- Also, you're standing on the Earth, moving up with it, toward the apple.  Maybe it would be different if you were sitting on the apple, riding it down to the ground, and you were able to notice the motion of the ground coming up to meet you at a speed that's 0.00000000000000000000000000419 of YOUR speed.

ou are sitting in your car at rest at a traffic light with a bicyclist at rest next to you in the adjoining bicycle lane. As soo
madam [21]

Till the time car is just adjacent to the bicycle we can say

distance moved by cycle = distance moved by car

Time taken by car to accelerate from rest

t = \frac{v_f - v_i}{a}

t = \frac{49 - 0}{7} = 7 s

Time taken by cycle to accelerate

t = \frac{23 - 0}{15} = 1.53 s

now the distance moved by cycle in time "t"

d = \frac{23 + 0}{2}*1.53 + 23(t - 1.53)

distance moved by car in same time

d = \frac{7t + 0}{2}(t)

now make them equal

3.5t^2 = 17.595 - 35.19 + 23t

3.5 t^2 - 23t + 17.595 = 0

t = 5.68 s

so cycle will move ahead of car for t = 5.68 s

What temperature is required to transfer waste heat to the environment for a heat engine to be 100 percent efficient?
OLEGan [10]
This can be seen as a trick question because heat engines can typically never be 100 percent efficient. This is due to the presence of inefficiencies such as friction and heat loss to the environment. Even the best heat engines can only go up to around 50% efficiency.
