A) Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.

True

Reason : as the falling object approach the ground, acceleration due to gravity in down direction acts on it and accelerate it.

B) The weight of an object increases as it moves away from the ground.

False

Reason : As the object moves away from the ground, acceleration due to gravity acting on the object decreases. since the weight directly depends on the acceleration due to gravity, hence the weight decreases too.

C) Lighter objects experience a lower acceleration than heavier objects.

False

Reason : Since acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass.

D) The mass of an object increases as it moves closer to the ground.

False

Reason : Since mass of an object is independent of the acceleration due to gravity.

Option (a) is correct.

Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.This is because of the force of gravity acting on the falling objects. so the velocity of these objects increases continuously as they approach the ground. the acceleration acting on the falling objects is a constant ( close to the surface of earth) and is called as acceleration due to gravity denoted by g. value of g=9.8 m/s².

A 12.0 cm object is 9.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -4.5 cm. What is the distance of the image from the m
Rasek [7]

Answer:

- 3 cm

Explanation:

From the mirror formula;

1/f = 1/v + 1/u ; where f is the focal length, v is the image distance, and u is the object distance.

1/-4.5 = 1/9 + 1/v

1/v = -1/4.5 - 1/9

    = -1/3

Therefore;

v = -3 cm

Hence;

Image distance is - 3cm

Imagine that you are an industrial worker in a city in China. What would you put in an e-mail to a relative in the United States
Mumz [18]

In that email, I will tell my relative in the United states that the transition to capitalism now implies that we work for longer hours with less pay.

<h3>What is capitalism?</h3>

The term capitalism means a system in which the means of production is controlled by individuals rather than by the state. Hence, monopoly is possible in a capitalist economy.

In that email, I will tell my relative in the United states that the transition to capitalism now implies that we work for longer hours with less pay and we do not have the social and job security that was once guaranteed in a socialist/communist economy.

What is law of conservation of mass​
timurjin [86]

Explanation:

<h2>law of conservation of mass</h2>

The law of conservation of mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.
