Answer:

B. Decrease the plane’s speed and height

Explanation:

Decrease in speed of plane:

When the speed of the plane is decreased then initial velocity of the package will be lesser. As a result, final velocity will also be lesser because in this case final velocity depends upon the initial velocity.

Decrease in height:

According to law of conservation of energy:

Loss in potential energy = Gain in Kinetic energy  

                                 mgh = ½ mV^2

It means with the decrease in height less potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy. As package has constant mass so it will gain less velocity.

If the element gallium has an atomic number of 31 and an atomic mass of 70, how many neutrons does it have?
Mumz [18]

Answer:

The answer is 39.

Explanation:

The atomic number refers to the number of protons and the atomic mass is the sum of the protons and neutrons. So, you would just do 70 - 31 and that gets you 39.

1. The statement about Newton's reflecting telescope contains 1 error. Find the error, write it, and
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

i. The error is the rough convex mirror.

ii. This should be replaced with a smooth convex morror.

Explanation:

Reflection is dependent on the surface involved and has two types; diffuse and specular. When the surface is rough, diffused reflection is observed. The surface causes a distortion of the incident light (the rays would be reflected at different angles to one another) after reflection. This makes some rays to interfere with one another. While specular reflection is observed with a smooth surface.

In the statement, the rough convex mirror would produce a distorted reflection which would produce diffused reflection. The effect is that few or no rays (depending on the degree of how rough the surfce is) would be reflected to the other smooth, flat diagonal mirror.

valkas [14]

Answer:

1 watt is 1 Joule per second. 240 watt would then be 240 joules per second. How many seconds are there in an hour? Current formula is P= IV , P is 240(not the power in an hour because the current is calculated in seconds), and V is 12V. Then you will get I, the current.
