Answer:The speed if hailstone dependly largely on its size. A hailstone with a diameter of 0.39 inches,falls wit a speed of 20mph while a hailstone with 3.1 inches in diameter falls at a speed of 110mph.

No speed does not depend on the distance that the hailstone falls.

Explanation: There are other factors that affect the speed of the falling hailstone apart from its size.They are:

1. Friction between the air and the hailstone

2. Wind condition( windy or moist air)

3. The rate at which it melts falling.

A starship travels to a planet that is 20 light years away. The astronauts stay on the planet for 2.0 years before returning at
ad-work [718]

Answer:

astronauts age is 32 years

correct option is e 32 years

Explanation:

given data

travels = 20 light year

stay = 2 year

return = 52 years

to find out

astronauts aged

solution

we know here they stay 2 year so time taken in traveling is

time in traveling = ( 52 -2 )  = 50 year

so it mean 25 year in going and 25 years in return

and distance is given 20 light year

so speed will be

speed = distance / time

speed = 20 / 25 = 0.8 light year

so time is

time = \frac{t}{\sqrt{1-v^2} }

time =  \frac{25}{\sqrt{1-0.8^2} }

time = 15 year

so age is 15 + 2 + 15

so astronauts age is 32 years

so correct option is e 32 years
