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 190 g rock at 20°C is completely immersed in 600 g of water at 80°C. Which one of the following statements is true right after
Umnica [9.8K]

Rock is completely immersed in hot water. By the second law of thermodynamics, thermal energy or heat is transferred from substance with higher temperature to substance with lower temperature until they come to thermal equilibrium i.e. both at same temperature.

It is given here that rock is at 20°C which is at lower temperature than water at 80°C. ∴Heat or thermal energy flows from water to rock. So, right choice is-

A. The water gives the rock thermal energy and gets no thermal energy in return.

Answer:

34883.7

Explanation:

Primero hay que convertir las dos unidades a la misma unidad-cm-

3km- 300000 cm

86mm- 8.6mm

Después hay que dividir

300000/8.6= 34883.7209302 ~ 34883.7

A satellite is revolving the earth 4km above the surface.find the orbital velocity of the satellite (R =6400km,g=9.8m/s^2)​
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

v ≈ 7900 m/s

Explanation:

centripetal force will equal gravity force

mv²/R = mg

v²/R = g

v² = Rg

v = √(Rg)

v = √(6.4e6(9.8))

v = 7.91959...e+3

v ≈ 7900 m/s

of course, at those velocities and that deep into the atmosphere, the satellite would quickly burn up, slow down, and cause tremendous damage to buildings etc. with the sonic boom shock wave. It would also have to avoid a lot of mountains as 4000 m is not that high.
