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.

A disk is uniformly accelerated from rest with angular acceleration α. The magnitude of the linear acceleration of a point on th
solniwko [45]

Answer:

a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}

Explanation:

As we know that the acceleration of a point on the rim of the disc is in two directions

1) tangential acceleration which is given as

a_t = R\alpha

2) Centripetal acceleration

a_c = \omega^2 R

here we know that

\omega = \alpha t

a_c = (\alpha t)^2 R

now we know that net linear acceleration is given as

a = \sqrt{a_c^2 + a_t^2}

so we have

a = \sqrt{R^2\alpha^2 + R^2(\alpha t)^4}

a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}

An object moving 20 m/s
yan [13]

Answer:

<u>We are given:</u>

initial velocity (u) = 20m/s

acceleration (a) = 4 m/s²

time (t) = 8 seconds

displacement (s) = s m

<u />

<u>Solving for Displacement:</u>

From the seconds equation of motion:

s = ut + 1/2 * at²

replacing the variables

s = 20(8) + 1/2 * (4)*(8)*(8)

s = 160 + 128

s = 288 m

Describe two examples of how humans use electromagnetic waves.
Alex73 [517]
Electromagnetic waves are used in everyday life. You are looking at your computer screen right now. The light that is coming off of the screen is visible light, a form of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic waves are also used to send information. For example, AM or FM radios are radio waves that transfer sound information to your local radio.
