What happens to gravity when someone jumps up?

Answer:

The direct answer to the question as written is as follows: nothing happens to gravity when someone jumps up - gravity continues exerting a force on the body of that particular someone proportional to (mass of someone) x (mass of Earth) / (distance squared). What you might be asking, however, is what is the net force acting on the body of someone jumping up. At the moment of someone jumping up there is an upward acceleration, i.e., an upward-directed force which counteracts the gravitational force - this is the net force ( a result of the jump force minus gravity). From that moment on, only gravity acts on the body. The someone moves upward gradually decelerating to the downward gravitational acceleration until they reaches the peak of the jump (zero velocity). Then, back to Earth.

In the model of the hydrogen atom due to Niels Bohr, the electron moves around the proton at a speed of 3.3 × 106 m/s in a circl

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

$1.5048\times 10^{-23}\ Am^2$

Explanation:

q = Charge of proton = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

r = Radius of circle = $5.7\times 10^{-11}\ m$

v = Velocity of proton = $3.3\times 10^6\ m/s$

Magnetic moment is given by

$M=\frac{1}{2}qrv\\\Rightarrow M=\frac{1}{2}1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5.7\times 10^{-11}\times 3.3\times 10^6\\\Rightarrow M=1.5048\times 10^{-23}\ Am^2$

The magnetic moment associated with this motion is $1.5048\times 10^{-23}\ Am^2$

How do sea surface temperatures affect evaporation rate?

kotegsom [21]

<span>Answer: The temperature doesn't affect the evaporation rate, but affects on how much of water a parcel of air can contain when saturated which is known by the absolute humidity. Hurricanes are usually happening when the temperature of the sea water west of the Cape Verde islands is over 27 degrees Celsius. If ahead of the path of a hurricane, the sea water temperature drops then it will be less moisture in the air and perhaps the hurricane will fade out. But it is not as simple. How strong a tropical storm is is relative to the difference of temperture between ground level and the top of the troposphere. The greater the difference, the faster the air will rise and the deeper the pressure will be, forcing surrounding air to rush in, thus forming a hurricane force wind. Then there is the fact that the wet adiabatic lapse rate is about half that of dry air. It means that rising moist air cools down slower and therefore rises higher. Hence water is the true fuel of bad weather. But it can't be isolated from the fact that the difference of temperature must be great too. What we often forget is that the tropopause (the border to the stratosphere) is much higher over the equator and therefore, much colder than e.g. the poles.</span>

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Allison is probably looking at the asteroid.

Explanation:

Asteroids are the giant gas balls of inner solar system that are present in the space.
Asteroids orbits around the sun in very irregular ans strange path unlike the other planets.
This is also the reason why it's called as the minor planets.
It could have been comet but if it had been a comets he must have seen the tail but asteroids do not have any tail like structure.

Use Force=Mass x Acceleration (newtons second law states force is directly proportional to the acceleration) so you can say that the force is negative and solve for Acceleration.
