Answer:
D: Increase the distance between the objects.
E: Decrease the mass of one of the objects.
Answer:
5
Explanation:
Number of habitable planets = 1000
Fraction of planet with life = 1/10
Fraction of planet with life and civilization (before) = 1/4
Fraction of planet with life and civilization (now) =1/5
Therefore multiplying we have:
1000×1/10×1/4×1/5 = 5
The correct answer is that they would all hit the ground at the same time. If no air resistance is present, the rate of descent depends only on how far the object has fallen, no matter how heavy the object is. This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height. This statement follows from the law of conservation of energy and has been demonstrated experimentally by dropping a feather and a lead ball in an airless tube.
