Acceleration means you go faster 
inertia means it has a tendency to do nothing or remain unchanged
gravity is what pulls things down to earth
<span>Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. 
so i would say friction</span>

D. Friction because friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. The friction between the two surfaces converts kinetic energy into thermal energy.

What Kinetic energy is exactly equal to Gravitational Potential Energy why is height halfway between the maximum height?
prohojiy [21]

Explanation:

Let us calculate the work done in lifting an object of mass m through a height h, such as in Figure 1. If the object is lifted straight up at constant speed, then the force needed to lift it is equal to its weight mg. The work done on the mass is then W = Fd = mgh. We define this to be the gravitational potential energy (PEg) put into (or gained by) the object-Earth system. This energy is associated with the state of separation between two objects that attract each other by the gravitational force

Potential energy is a property of a system rather than of a single object—due to its physical position. An object’s gravitational potential is due to its position relative to the surroundings within the Earth-object system. The force applied to the object is an external force, from outside the system. When it does positive work it increases the gravitational potential energy of the system. Because gravitational potential energy depends on relative position, we need a reference level at which to set the potential energy equal to 0. We usually choose this point to be Earth’s surface, but this point is arbitrary; what is important is the difference in gravitational potential energy, because this difference is what relates to the work done. The difference in gravitational potential energy of an object (in the Earth-object system) between two rungs of a ladder will be the same for the first two rungs as for the last two rungs.

Explain how a theodolite works.
Oksana_A [137]
The theodolite is a precision measuring device used to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It works with a combination of: (1) optical plummets, which is used to ensure that it is placed exactly vertical above; (2) internal spirit, which ensures that it is levelled to the horizon; and (3) graduated circles, one vertical and one horizontal, which is used to measure actual angles. The mounted telescope can swivel horizontally and vertically. If this is adjusted correctly, accurate measurements can be obtained.

n an experiment of a simple pendulum, measurements show that the pendulum has length m, mass kg, and period s. Take m/s2 . i. Us
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The answer is "(1.265 \pm 0.010) \ s \ and \ 0.709 \%"

Explanation:

In point i:

T_{theo}= 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

        =2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.397}{9.8}}\\\\= 1.265 \ s

If  error in the theoretical time period :

\frac{\Delta T_{theo}}{T_theo} = \frac{1}{2}  \frac{\Delta l }{l}\\\\\Delta T_{theo} = 1.265 \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{0.006}{0.397}

           = 0.010 \ s

 T_{theo} = (1.265 \pm 0.010) \ s

In point ii:

\% \ difference = \frac{|T_{exp} -T_{theo}|}{\frac{T_{exp}+T_{theo}}{2}} \times 100

<h3>                     = \frac{1.274 -1.265}{\frac{1.274+1.265}{2}} \times 100\\\\=0.709 \%</h3>
