If Earth's gravity pulls an object, causing it to accelerate to the ground, what must be true about Earth?
A. It accelerates just as quickly in the direction away from the object.
B. It is being pulled toward the object by the object's gravity.
C. It accelerates just as quickly in the direction of the object.
D. It is being pushed away from the object by that same force.

The california mussel (mytilus californianus) attaches itself to a rock or other solid surface with a bundle of filaments known as the byssus. imagine that 15.0 j of work is done to stretch the distal end of the byssus. it releases 10.8 j of thermal energy as it relaxes. what is the resilience of the distal end of the byssus?

Ryan is examining the energy of the particles in a bar of gold. what is ryan most likely studying?

16. a brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800 n on him. the mass of the losing player plus equipment is 90.0 kg, and he is accelerating at 1.20m/s2 size 12{1 "." "20"" m/s" rsup { size 8{2} } } {} backward. (a) what is the force of friction between the losing player’s feet and the grass? (b) what force does the winning player exert on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 110 kg? (c) draw a sketch of the situation showing the system of interest used to solve each part. for this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.
