Capture Theory is the correct answer because a lot of people believe it was an asteroid that was pulled in by Earth's gravity.

Answer: capture theory

Explanation:

An asteroid is a rocky object which orbits sun having irregular shape and size.Asteroids are usually found in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in the asteroid belt.  

Capture theory of moon suggests that moon was formed somewhere else in the solar system and was captured by Earth's gravity.

<u>If the moon resembled an asteroid, it would have supported the capture theory i.e. an asteroid was captured by the gravitational pull and started orbiting around the Earth.</u>

A textbook is dropped from a second floor window and falls to the ground. What happens to the acceleration as the book falls to
Sav [38]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The acceleration remains constant

Explanation:

The acceleration is due to the force of gravitational attraction between the text book and the Earth

According to Newton's law of gravitation, there is an attractive force between all objects given by the following relation;

F = G×M₁×m₂/r²

Where;

G, M₁, m₂, and r are constant such that we have;

G×M₁/r² = Constant = The acceleraton due to gravity, g

F = g×m₂

So the acceleration of the textbook as it is being attracted by the force of gravity towards the ground (Earth) is remains constant.

A ball is thrown straight down with a speed of Va2.00 from a building 40.00 meters high. How much S time passes before the ball
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Considering vertical motion of ball:-

Initial velocity, u =  2 m/s

Acceleration , a = 9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = 40 m

We have equation of motion s= ut + 0.5 at²

Substituting

   s= ut + 0.5 at²

    40 = 2 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

   4.9t²  + 2t - 40 = 0

   t = 2.66 s   or t = -3.06 s

So, time is 2.66 s.

Option C is the correct answer.
