Projectile motion is characterized by an arc-shaped direction of motion. It is acted upon by two vector forces: horizontal component and vertical component. The horizontal component is in constant velocity motion, while the vertical component is in constant acceleration motion. These two motions are independent of each other.

Now, the total velocity of the space probe at the end of the projectile motion is determined through this equation:

V = √(Vx² + Vy²)

where Vx is the velocity in the horizontal direction and Vy is the velocity in the vertical direction.

Let's find Vx first. Assuming that the space probe was launched at an angle horizontal the Earth's surface, the launching angle is 0°. Thus, the initial velocity is 2.44×10⁴ m/s. 

For Vy, the free falling motion is 
Vy = √(2gh), where g is 9.81 m/s² and h is the distance traveled vertically by the space probe which represents the radius of the Earth equal to 6.37×10⁶ meters. Therefore,

V = √{(2.44×10⁴)² + [√(2×9.81×6.37×10⁶ )]²}
V = 26,839.14 m/s

Which image illustrates why dark clothing helps to keep you warm on a cool, sunny day?
xeze [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

I suppose it has to do with the way the diagram is drawn. The heat does not reflect which makes both A and B incorrect.

C would have nothing to do with either reflection or refraction.

That only leaves D which is the answer.
