A housekeeper is cleaning the kitchen and decides to to use a ladder to reach a top shelf. As he/she is cleaning he/she is start

ed by a mouse and falls off the ladder to the floor. As the he/she is falling, what is true about the magnitude of the Earth's gravitational force exerted on the housekeeper compared to the magnitude of gravitational force that the housekeeper exerts on the Earth?

The amount of gravitational force between both objects will be the same.

The magnitude of the Earth's gravitational force exerted on the housekeeper is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = mg

where;

<em>m </em><em>is the mass of the housekeeper</em>

<em>g </em><em>is acceleration due to gravity</em>

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite.

The force exerted on the housekeeper by the Earth is equal in magnitude to the force exerted on the Earth by the housekeeper.

F_{H} = - F_{E}

The two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

Thus, the correct option is " the amount of gravitational force between both objects will be the same"

<em>The</em><em> missing part</em><em> of the </em><em>question </em><em>is below:</em>

a. the Earth exerts the largest amount of gravitational force

b. the housekeeper exerts the largest amount of gravitational force

c. the amount of gravitational force between both objects will be the same

Calculate the amount of heat (in kj) required to raise the temperature of a 79.0 g sample of ethanol from 298.0 k to 385.0 k. th
earnstyle [38]
We are given with the specific heat capacity of ethanol, the mass of the sample and the temperature change to determine the total amount of heat to raise the temperature. The formula to be followed is H = mCpΔT. Upon subsituting, H = 79 g * 2.42 J/gC *(385-298)C = 16.63 kJ

A. Draw four rays parallel to the optical axis of your mirror. Two above the optic axis and two below it.
Katen [24]

Answer:

   f = q

Explanation:

In the attachment we can see a diagram of the parallel rays.

The dotted line represents the normal to the mirror surface

These rays when reflected using the constructor equation

        \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where p and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

Since the rays are parallel P = inf

          1 / f = 1 / inf + 1 / q

          f = q

this means that all the rays focus on one focal point.

yulyashka [42]

Explanation:

Speed of Bob, v = 0.967 c

At the exact instant he passes Alice, she fires a very short laser pulse in the same direction Bob is moving.

(a) We need to find the distance measured by Alice  between Bob and the laser pulse. It is given by :

d=ct-vt

d=t(c-v)

d=5.59\times (c-0.967c)

d=5.53\times 10^7\ meters

(b) Distance measured by Bob between himself and the laser pulse is given by :

d_B=ct

d_B=3\times 10^8\times 5.59

d_B=6.67\times 10^9\ meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

When Earth pulls on an object, that object also pulls on Earth. The values of these two forces are . This phenomenon can be expl
algol13
The values of these two forces are equal. Your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you. When you and the Earth fall toward each other, your acceleration is greater than the Earth's acceleration, because your mass is less than the Earth's mass.
