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.

The orientation of which of the following does not influence the phases of the moon?
klasskru [66]
<span>So we want to know what is not influencing the phases of the Moon. What influences Moon phases are celestial bodies that are close enough to have enough gravitational force to have an influence. Those celestial bodies would be the Earth and the Sun, since moon itself cant influence itself and all other stars are too far to exert gravitational force. So the correct answer would be the Moon and the stars do NOT have an influence on the Moon phases. </span>

Estimate the weight of a 1000kg car that is accelerating at 3 m/s/s.
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

W = 9800  N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a car, m = 1000 kg

Acceleration of the car, a = 3 m/s²

We need to find the weight of the car. Weight of an object is given by the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity on the Earth.

W = mg

Put all the values,

W = 1000 kg × 9.8 m/s²

= 9800  N

So, the weight of the car is 9800  N.
