When an apple falls towards the earth,the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true?If yes, why is the earth's motion not n

oticeable?
Physics

Harlamova29_29 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

because the mass of the apple is very less compared to the mass of earth. Due to less mass the apple cannot produce noticable acceleration in the earth but the earth which has more mass produces noticable acceleration in the apple. thus we can see apple falling on towards the earth but we cannot see earth moving towards the apple.

A car is initially traveling at 12 m/s when the driver sees a yellow light ahead. He accelerates at a constant 7 m/s^2 for 6 s i
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

v = 54m/s

Explanation:

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

a = 7m/s²

u = 12m/s

t = 6s

7 = (v-12)/6

v - 12 = 42

v = 54m/s

(Correct me if i am wrong)

An underwater scuba diver sees the Sun at an apparent angle of 43.0° above the horizontal. What is the actual elevation angle of
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The actual elevation angle is 12.87 degrees

Explanation:

In the attachment you can clearly see the situation. The angle of elevation as seen for the scuba diver is shown in magenta, we conclude that \theta_2=90-43=47.

Using Snell's Law we can write:

n_1\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)

\implies \sin(\theta_1)=\frac{n_2}{n_1}\sin(\theta_2),

Let's approximate the index of refraction of the air (medium 1 in the picture) to 1.

We thus have:

\sin(\theta_1)=n_2\sin(\theta_2)=1.333\sin(47)

\implies\theta_1=\arcsin[n_2\sin(\theta_2)]=\arcsin[1.333\sin(47)]\approx 77.13. Calling \alpha the actual angle of elevation, we get from the picture that \alpha=90-77.13=12.97

A vertical spring has a mass hanging from it, which is displaced from the equilibrium position and begins to oscillate. At what
Orlov [11]

Answer:

the object has least potential energy at mean position of the SHM

Explanation:

If a block is connected with a spring and there is no resistive force on the system

In this case the total energy of the system is always conserved and it will change from one form to another form

So here we will say that

Kinetic energy + Potential energy = Total Mechanical energy

As we can say that total energy is conserved so here we have least potential energy when the system has maximum kinetic energy

So here we also know that at mean position of the SHM the system has maximum speed and hence maximum kinetic energy.

So the object has least potential energy at mean position of the SHM

What is the frequency of an x- ray if the wavelength is 4.5 E - 10m?
AnnZ [28]
V (speed) = F (frequency) x Wavelength
If we rearrange the formula, making frequency the subject;
F (frequency) = Speed ÷ Wavelength
F = 300,000 m\s x 4.5 e -10m
F = 0.08810409956 Hz
