Suppose the entire population of the world gathers in one spot and, at the sounding of a prearranged signal, everyone jumps up.

While all the people are in the air, does Earth gain momentum in the opposite direction?
a) No; the inertial mass of Earth is so large that the planet’s change in motion is imperceptible.
b) Yes; because of its much larger inertial mass, however, the change in momentum of Earth is much less than that of all the jumping people.
c) Yes; Earth recoils, like a rifle firing a bullet, with a change in momentum equal to and opposite that of the people.
d) It depends.

How much would you have to eat for your appendix to explode ? I ate so much on thanksgiving and i need to know i’m very scared
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

I don't think your appendix can explode because you ate too much honestly. It's not even possible to eat so much that your appendix explodes, and if you're feeling any pain it definitely isn't because your appendix is about to explode, believe me. Also you could just type it into the internet, that'd be a much faster solution.

t=(0-(250sin75)^2)/-9.8 
<span>the distance one is (2500+610)- (250m/s*cos75)*t=Dh Dh=horizontal distance </span>

<span>the max height one is d=0.5*9.8*t^2 </span>
<span>d= max height subtract 1800-d</span>

Most paper does not reflect light very well because its surface is somewhat rough.<br><br> T or F
Sloan [31]
I think the correct answer is true. Most paper does not reflect light very well because its surface is somewhat rough. Light only reflects to surfaces which has a smooth texture or have a uniform texture on the surface. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
