Answer:

<em>D. remains constant throughout the fall.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launching </u>

We can launch an object in free air in three forms: vertically, horizontally or inclined. In any case, the only acting force to modify the object's velocity and make it go back to the ground is the force of gravity and it's always directed downwards. Unless friction or air resistance is considered, the horizontal motion is not affected because no force is acting in that direction.

The rock described in the question was launched at 3 m/s pointed horizontally. Immediately after launching, the rock starts to fall to the ground and gain vertical velocity, but the horizontal component remains the same until it completes the flight.  

The D option is correct: the horizontal velocity of the rock remains constant throughout the fall

Which statement correctly describes variable stars?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

D)

Explanation:

The Period-Luminosity relationship tells us that luminosity increases with the period, and of course the more luminosity a star has the more far away they can be seen, so from this we know that:

A) False since lower luminosities can be observed when they are close.

B) False since longer periods means higher luminosities

C) False since lower luminosities can be observed when they are close.

D) True: Variable stars with shorter periods have lower luminosities, so they can only be observed when they are close.

A 60 kg student is standing motionless. Approximately how much force is the floor exerting on the student?
Solnce55 [7]
The normal force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the weight of the student.
W = m · g = 60 kg · 10 m/s² = 600 N ( downward )
N = - 600 N
Answer:
B ) 600 N upward.
