When we jump from the truck and accelerate towards the earth surface, the earth also accelerates towards us but it's acceleration is very negligible.
To find the answer, we need to know about the acceleration of earth due to the gravitational attraction.
<h3>What's the gravitational force between the earth and a person?</h3>
- Gravitational attraction force is GMm/r² between the earth and a person.
- M= mass of the earth
m= mass of the person
r= separation between them.
<h3>What's the acceleration of the earth towards the person when he jumps from a truck?</h3>
- According to Newton's second law, Force = M×acceleration
- Acceleration= Force / M
- Here, Force = GMm/r²,
so acceleration of earth= Gm/r²
- As this acceleration is very small, so we can't notice it.
Thus, we can conclude that the earth also accelerates towards us.

Explanation:
According to Newton's First Law of motion, if a box is pushed with no external resistance, the box will keep on moving due to the absence of external force. It might gets stopped due to frictional force that is acting between the surface and the ball. The first law of motion is also known as law of inertia. the magnitude of force acting on the object is given by second law of motion.
Sound waves travel faster through <em>solids</em> than they do through gases or liquids. <em>(C) </em>They don't travel through vacuum at all.
Example:
Speed of sound in normal air . . . around 340 m/s
Speed of sound in water . . . around 1,480 m/s
Speed of sound in iron . . . around 5,120 m/s
