If the force of attraction btw earth and us is equal n opposite then why is the net force zero and if it is zero why do we get pulled towards earth

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

It's not equal and opposite. You're thinking of Newton's 3rd Law. This is not that. This is gravitational attraction between 2 objects. We can figure out mathematically the pull that the earth has on a single person, by using the equation for gravitational force and the universal gravitational constant, G:

[tex]F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex] where G is the universal gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one person, m2 is the mass of the earth, and r-squared is the addition of the radius of the earth plus the radius of you in relation to the surface of the earth.

Let's say a person weighs 150 pounds; in Newtons this is 667 N (rounded from 667.233); his mass then, in terms of the metric system (using 9.8 for gravity), is 68.2 kg. Let's also say that this person is 6 feet tall. 6 feet is the same as 1.83 m (rounded to 3 sig fig's) and the radius from that person's center to the surface of the earth would be about half that height at r = .915 meters. Filling in the formula:

[tex]F_g=\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(68.2)(5.98*10^{24})}{(6.38*10^6)^2}[/tex] it turns out that the person's radius adds nothing significantly to the radius of the earth, so it doesn't even count mathematically. It's way too small compared to the earth's radius (which is the denominator of that equation). We find that

[tex]F_g=668N[/tex] That's the pull that the earth has on that person which, not coincidentally, is the weight in pounds we said that the person was. Isn't physics amazing!?

What is a light year?


It can be defined as the distance travelled by the light in one year .it is represented in units of distance such as miles or km.

1 light year is calculated by multiplying the speed of light with the time of one year

1 light year = speed of light × one year time period

1 light year = 3×10⁸ ×(365×24×60×60)

                  =9.461× 10¹⁵ meter

In the two-slit experiment, the distance between the slits and the screen is 1.15 m and the distance between the slits is 0.100 mm. If the first-order bright fringe is measured to be 4.2 cm from the centerline, what is the wavelength of light?

Answers

Given,
D = 1.15 m (distance of slots from
screen)
d = 0.100 mm
10^-4 m (distance between the two slits)
m = 1 (first order bright fringe)
xm = 4.2 cm
0.042 m (distance of first order bright fringe from centreline)

We know that,
xm = m* D λ/d (λ= wavelength)
0.042 = 1* 1.15 λ/10^-4
λ = (0.042 * 10^-4)/1.15

Therefore,
λ = 0.0365 * 10^-4
3.65 * 10^-6 m (approx)

Dos ciclistas se encuentran compitiendo en un velódromo. Considere que el peso de cada ciclista es W1 y el peso de cada bicicleta es W2. En el instante en el que los dos ciclistas se encuentran uno al lado del otro, es correcto afirmar que:A. Las velocidades de ambos ciclistas son iguales B. Las posiciones y las velocidades son iguales C. Las posiciones son las mismas D. Las posiciones como las aceleraciones son iguales

Answers

Comenzemos con unas definiciones.

La posición nos dice la ubicación espacial de un dado objeto.

La velocidad nos dice como cambia la posición a medida que pasa el tiempo.

La aceleración nos dice como cambia la velocidad a medida que pasa el tiempo.

Teniendo esto en cuenta, la respuesta correcta La respuesta correcta es la opción C: "Las posiciones son las mismas"

Para poder entender esto, podemos desarrollar:

Ahora, supongamos un ejemplo.

Sea una persona caminando y un auto yendo en la misma dirección, de tal forma que la persona comienza varios metros delante del auto.

A medida que el auto aumenta su velocidad, eventualmente se encontrara al lado de la persona.

Naturalmente, es fácil darse cuenta de que tanto la velocidad como la aceleración del auto serán mayores que las de la persona, pero la posición (almenos en una dimensión) será la misma.

Podemos interpolar esto a cualquier situación similar, sabemos que para dos objetos que estén al lado del otro la posición será la misma, pero sin más contexto no podemos concluir nada sobre la relación entre las velocidades y las aceleraciones.

Con esto en mente, la respuesta correcta es la opción C: "Las posiciones son las mismas"

Match the vocabulary word to its correct definition.1. mean The mean is the average value of the data you collect. In statistics, you find the mean of your sample. Then you use that mean to approximate the mean of the entire population. If you want the mean of the data to be a good approximation of the mean of the entire population, your need to make sure that you collect a random sample. To find the mean, you find the sum of the data points you collected and divide it by the number of data points in the set. For example, if the data you collected was {3, 3, 6}. Then the mean would be (3 + 3 + 6) 3 = 12 3 = 4. It's important to note that the mean does not have to be a data point in your set. You can generalize the formula as well. If you collect n data points {d1, d2, d3, dn}, then the mean of your data set is . The Greek letter pronounced "mu"is used because the word "mean" begins with the letter "m." It is important that you divide by the number of data points in your set, n. 2. population An experiment is a well-defined procedure under controlled conditions designed to gather data that tests a hypothesis. For example, you want to test the hypothesis that flowers grow faster when they are watered every other day as opposed to every day. Then you could water one set of plants every day and another set of plants every other day. What data would you collect? The height of each plant once a day. What conditions would you need to control? You would need to make sure that the groups of plants are treated the same in every other way by getting the same amount of sun and being maintained at the same temperature, etc. 3. experiment Bias is the preference for a particular group or subset. In the example above, the bias was toward viewers who like sports. When your sample is not chosen at random, you introduce bias into your study. So, in a certain sense, a biased sample is the opposite of a random sample. Why? In a biased sample, some members of the population are more likely to be chosen than others. In a random sample, every member of the population is equally likely to be chosen. Bias may also occur in surveys. See "survey" below for more information on this type of bias. 4. sample A population is the entire group you want to understand. So, in a certain sense, you can think of the population as the "opposite" of the sample because a sample is not the entire population. A sample is chosen subset upon that you use to draw conclusions about the entire population. 5. bias Random means free from bias. So, if you choose a random sample from a population, every member of the population has an equal chance of being chosen. It should be pointed out that this "true randomness" is an ideal which is difficult to achieve in real world experiments conducted on real world populations. That is why statisticians make every effort to ensure their samples chosen as free from bias as is possible, that is, as randomly as possible under real world conditions. 6. survey A sample is a subset chosen from a population. In most cases, you want a random sample. Why? A random sample has the best chance of accurately representing the entire population. 7. random A survey is the means of collecting a sample. In statistics, a survey is often a question or set of questions. It is critical that the questions, like the sample itself, be free from bias. Bias in a question tends to favor one response. As an extreme example of a biased question about colors might be, "Don't you think blue is beautiful and yellow is yucky?" An unbiased form of the question might be, "Which color do you prefer, blue or yellow?" Though careful, statisticians might be concerned about the order in which the colors are offered, so that might further simplify the question to, "What is your favorite color?" This type of question is most free from bias because it does not suggest a response and therefore does not favor a response. A ball is kicked from the ground. At 1 second it is 3 m off the ground.
