Gravity accelerates all rocks equally. If one rock landed before the other one did, it must have been thrown harder, and had greater initial speed.

diamong [38]
The correct option is C. 
Since the home gets its water from public supply, the best place to get the water quality report is from the local water treatment facility who processed the water. Water quality report is a document which summarizes information about the water sources that are used, detected contaminants, compliance observed, etc.

A 23 kg suitcase is being pulled with a constant speed by a handle that is at an angle of 29° above the horizontal. If the norma
Zina [86]

<u>Answer:</u>

The force F applied to the handle = 330.03 N

<u>Explanation:</u>

    The force can be resolved in to two, horizontal component and vertical component. If θ is the angle between horizontal and applied force we have

     Horizontal component of force = F cos θ

    Vertical component of force = F sin θ

  In this problem normal force exerted on the suitcase is 160 N, that is  vertical component of force = 160 N and angle θ = 29⁰.

 So, F sin 29 = 160

        F = 330.03 N

 The force F applied to the handle = 330.03 N

1. A 20m steel wire is stretched to 20.0m by
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Force to stretch the wire is 250 N

Explanation:

As we know that modulus of elasticity will remain the same for the wire if the applied stretch to the wire is within elastic limit

So we will have

\frac{F L}{\Delta L A} = constant

now we have

\frac{F_1 L}{\Delta L_1 A} = \frac{F_2 L}{\Delta L_2 A}

so we can write it as

F_2 = \frac{F_1 L_2}{L_1}

F_2 = \frac{50 (0.05)}{0.01}

F_2 = 250 N
