Question

Part A A student with mass 59 kg jumps off a high diving board. Using 6.0x1024 kg for the mass of the earth, what is the acceleration of the earth toward her as she accelerates toward the earth with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2 ? Assume that the net force on the earth is the force of gravity she exerts on it. Express your answer using two significant figures. al - m/s2 Submit Request Answer

Answer 1

Part A

Part A m is mass of diver, M is mass of earth. By Newton's third law, force that diver and earth exert on each other will be same in magnitude. Force exerted by diver on earth F_d = mg Force exerted by earth on diver F_e = Ma Hence mg = Ma (a is the acceleration of the earth) a = mg/M = 59 * 9.8/6.0 * 10^24 = 9.6 * 10^-23 m/s^2
is mass of diver, is mass of earth.

By Newton's third law , force that diver and earth exert on each other will be same in magnitude.

Force exerted by diver on earth $F_d=mg$

Force exerted by earth on diver $F_e=Ma$

Hence ( is the acceleration of the earth)

Answer 2

Part A

Part A m is mass of diver, M is mass of earth. By Newton's third law, force that diver and earth exert on each other will be same in magnitude. Force exerted by diver on earth F_d = mg Force exerted by earth on diver F_e = Ma Hence mg = Ma (a is the acceleration of the earth) a = mg/M = 59 * 9.8/6.0 * 10^24 = 9.6 * 10^-23 m/s^2
is mass of diver, is mass of earth.

By Newton's third law , force that diver and earth exert on each other will be same in magnitude.

Force exerted by diver on earth $F_d=mg$

Force exerted by earth on diver $F_e=Ma$

Hence ( is the acceleration of the earth)

Answer 3

Part A

Part A m is mass of diver, M is mass of earth. By Newton's third law, force that diver and earth exert on each other will be same in magnitude. Force exerted by diver on earth F_d = mg Force exerted by earth on diver F_e = Ma Hence mg = Ma (a is the acceleration of the earth) a = mg/M = 59 * 9.8/6.0 * 10^24 = 9.6 * 10^-23 m/s^2
is mass of diver, is mass of earth.

By Newton's third law , force that diver and earth exert on each other will be same in magnitude.

Force exerted by diver on earth $F_d=mg$

Force exerted by earth on diver $F_e=Ma$

Hence ( is the acceleration of the earth)
