If every action has an equal and opposite reaction, then when you jump, and gravity pulls you back down, it also pulls the Earth

up to you. Why can’t you see this motion?

When two objects are gravitationally attracted, the forces

on both of them are equal. As the objects move straight

toward each other, then, just as we'd expect, the object

with the greater mass has the smaller acceleration and

moves a smaller distance by the time they collide, while

the object with a smaller mass has the greater acceleration

and moves a greater distance by the time they collide.


The Earth's mass is roughly approximately something like 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times as much as YOUR mass,

so the difference in acceleration and distance moved before

the collision is really substantial.

A hiker, caught in a rainstorm might absorb 1 liter of water in her clothing. if it is windy so that this amount of water is eva
NeTakaya

Water evaporates at 100⁰C

So change in temperature = 100-20 = 80⁰C

Amount of water to be evaporated = 1 liter = 1L*1kg/liter = 1 kg

Specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram ⁰C = 4.186 joule/gram =4186 J/kg

So heat required E = mcΔT = 1 * 4186 *80= 334880 J =334.88 kJ

So amount of heat require to evaporate water = 334.88 kJ

When you float an ice cube in water, you notice that 90% of it is submerged beneath the surface. Now suppose you put the same ic
Gwar [14]

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

90% of the body is submerged in water.

Now it is immersed in an unknown liquid whose density is less than the density of water.

Buoyant force acting on the body depends on the volume immersed, density of liquid and gravity.

As the density of liquid is less than the density of water, so the buoyant force acting on the body by the unknown liquid is less than water. So it is submerged less than 90% in this liquid.

You throw a 20-N rock vertically into the air from ground level. You observe that when it is a height 14.8m above the ground, it
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

(A) The speed just as it left the ground is 30.25 m/s

(B) The maximum height of the rock is 46.69 m

Explanation:

Given;

weight of rock, w = mg  = 20 N

speed of the rock at 14.8 m, u = 25 m/s

(a) Apply work energy theorem to find its speed just as it left the ground

work = Δ kinetic energy

F x d = ¹/₂mv² - ¹/₂mu²

mg x d = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

g x d = ¹/₂(v² - u²)

gd = ¹/₂(v² - u²)

2gd = v² - u²

v² = 2gd  + u²

v² = 2(9.8)(14.8) + (25)²

v² = 915.05

v = √915.05

v = 30.25 m/s

B) Use the work-energy theorem to find its maximum height

the initial velocity of the rock = 30.25 m/s

at maximum height, the final velocity = 0

- mg x H = ¹/₂mv² - ¹/₂mu²

- mg x H = ¹/₂m(0) - ¹/₂mu²

- mg x H = - ¹/₂mu²

2g x H = u²

H = u² / 2g

H = (30.25)² / 2(9.8)

H = 46.69 m
