<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. anemometer

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<u><em>An anemometer is an instrument that is used for measuring the speed of the wind. It is a common weather station instrument. </em></u>
<em><u>Some anemometers are designed to measure both the speed of the wind and the direction of the wind. wind direction is given from where the wind is coming from to where it is going to.</u></em>
<em><u>Wind vane on the other hand is an instrument that is used to show the direction of the wind It may be found as part of the anemometer to determine wind's direction.</u></em>

The correct answer is letter D. Anemometer. It is a device that is used to measure wind speed. It is a very common weather station instrument and is available to use and to make. Anemos, from the greek word that means wind.

A racing car has a mass of 1525kg. What is its kinetic energy if it has a speed of 108km/h

Reptile [31]

E = 1/2 m v^2

108000m /3600 = 30m/s

E = 1525 * 0.5 * 30 = 22875 J

If a ball is thrown straight up, where is its acceleration the<br> greatest

Lapatulllka [165]

It has acceleration while it's in your hand and you're in the process of flinging it, but we don't know how much.

It has acceleration ... pretty big ... during the short time between hitting the first blade of grass and coming to rest in the dirt, at the end of its trip.

From the time it leaves your hand until it hits the grass on the way down, its has the same constant, continuous acceleration ... 9.8 m/s^2 downward, the acceleration of gravity.

The greatest acceleration is probably at the end of the trip, after it hits the grass, and its speed drops to zero in a tiny fraction of a second.

The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170.00 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0°C. What will its height b

N76 [4]

Answer:

169.98 m

Explanation:

$\alpha$ = Thermal coefficient of marble = $2.5\times 10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$

$L_0$ = Initial length = 170 m

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = (-10-35)°C

Change in length is given by

$\Delta L=\alpha L_0\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=2.5\times 10^{-6}\times 170\times (-10-35)\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=-0.019125\ m$

The height on the given day will be $170-0.019125=169.98\ m$

What force is described as the attraction between a sample of matter and all other matter in the universe?

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Gravitational Force

Explanation:

Gravitational force also called gravity or gravitation is an attractive force that keeps two objects in space. Gravitational force is an attractive force that tends to pull matters together. Every objects in the universe experience gravitational pull. Planets, stars, galaxies, are held together by gravity. It is a weak force. The weight of an object is the product of gravitational force acting on its mass.

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation states the force of attraction between two masses m₁ and m₂ in the universe is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.

$F = G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

Where;

F is the gravitational force,

G is the gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10¹¹ m³/kg/s,

m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects,

r is the distance between the centers of the masses
