when an apple falls towards the earth the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is it true? If yes, why is the earth motion not noti
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

The apple also exerts an equal and opposite force on the earth but earth does not move because the mass of apple is very small,due to which the gravitational force produces a large acceleration in it (a=F/m) and we can see the apple falling towards the earth but the mass of earth is very large,the same gravitational .

A 50 kg child runs off a dock at 2.0 ms (horizontally) and lands in a waiting rowboat of mass 150 kg. At what speed does the row
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The boat moves away from the dock at 0.5 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Since no external forces are acting on the system boy-boat at the moment at which the boy lands on the boat, the momentum of the system is conserved (i.e. it remains constant).

The momentum of the system is calculated as the sum of the momentum of the boy plus the momentum of the boat. Before the boy lands on the boat, the momentum of the system is given by the momentum of the boy.

momentum of the system before the boy lands on the boat:

momentum of the boy + momentum of the boat

m1 · v1 + m2 · v2 = momentum of the system

Where:

m1 and v1: mass and velocity of the boy.

m2 and v2: mass and velocity of the boat.

Then:

50 kg · 2.0 m/s + 150 kg · 0 m/s = momentum of the system

momentum of the system = 100 kg m/s

After the boy lands on the boat, the momentum of the system will be equal to the momentum of the boat moving with the boy on it:

momentum of the system = (m1 + m2) · v (where v is the velocity of the boat).

100 kg m/s = (50 kg + 150 kg) · v

100 kg m/s / 200 kg = v

v = 0.5 m/s

The boat moves away from the dock at 0.5 m/s.

Is everyone in your class able to hear a quiet sound equally well?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Loudness describes how people perceive sound (see loudness). ... If people could hear equally well at all frequencies, the contour lines would be flat because the same measured sound intensity would be perceived to be equally loud regardless of the sound frequency. In fact, people do not hear as well at low frequencies.

At a given time of​ day, the ratio of the height of an object to the length of its shadow is the same for all objects. If a 4​-f
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:35.2 ft

Explanation:

Given

height of stick =4 ft

shadow length =2.8 ft

Angle of elevation of sun is

tan\theta =\frac{4}{2.8}

let the height of tree be h

as \thetawill remain same thus

tan\theta =\frac{h}{24.64}

\frac{4}{2.8}=\frac{h}{24.64}

h=35.2 ft
