Multiply by (1000 meters / 1 km).
Then multiply by (1 hour / 3600 seconds).
Both of those fractions are equal to ' 1 ', because the top
and bottom numbers are equal, so the multiplications
won't change the VALUE of the 72 km/hr. They'll only
change the units.
(72 km/hour) · (1000 meters / 1 km) · (1 hour / 3600 seconds)
= (72 · 1000 / 3600) (km·meter·hour / hour·km·second)
= 20 meter/second
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:
A wave is a disturbance in a medium. For example, when some pebbles are thrown in water, the water particles gets disturbed. A wave is characterized by the following parameters i.e.
Frequency
Wavelength etc
The number of oscillations or vibrations in a medium is called the frequency of a wave.
Also, the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs is called the wavelength of a wave. The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave is given by :
Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength
Answer:
+ 3.0 m
Explanation:
displacement is shortest distance from fixed point O in particular direction . in diagram shortest distance at end from O is 3 m and it is right of O so +. HENCE +3.0m
Answer:
Option B.
Explanation:
Assuming the stick is in vertical position, its shadow depends on two factors: its length and the angle between the sun rays and the stick. When the angle is bigger, the lenght of the shadow increases, and vice versa. So, when the sun rays are parallel to the stick, the shadow may be small. Since they are nearly perpendicular to the Earth's surface at 12 o'clock, the shadow of the stick at that time should be minimal. It means that the measured shadow of 75 cm at 12:30 p.m. is almost impossible (Option B).
