I think it's either A or C because on B an object's mass can't change unless it is on a different planet, and on D it doesn't make sense unless the wind is blowing.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a penny is dropped from a height of 20 meters then it will achieve an acceleration.

As acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object with respect to time. Therefore, the velocity does not remain constant.

Whereas mass of the penny will remain the same as it will not get affected when it falls. Also, there will be no change in direction of the penny as it is falling only in one direction.

The acceleration of penny is due to the force of gravity.

Thus, we can conclude that the force of gravity causes it to accelerate.

Who has greater displacement, an astronaut who has just completed an orbit of the earth or you when you have just traveled from
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is going to sound like an absurd answer, but sometimes physics can be a little strange.

This answer is weird because of the definition of displacement. It means the distance from the starting point to the ending point, disregarding what happened in between. The point is that the astronaut is at the starting point of his orbit. By definition the starting and ending points are the same. His displacement is 0.

So the answer is you have the greater displacement when you walked one way to school.  The starting point and the ending point are different. You have gone further.

However just to make things a little nasty, when you walk home again, your displacement will be the same as the astronaut's -- 0 meters because you will be right back where you started from.

A 10-kg piece of aluminum sits at the bottom of a lake, right next to a 10-kg piece of lead, which is much denser than aluminum.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Aluminium

Explanation:

When a body is immersed in a liquid partly or wholly it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force.

The amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed, density of liquid and the value of acceleration due to gravity.

Here, the density of liquid is same in both the cases and g be the same. So, here the amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed.

As the density of lead is more than the density of aluminium, so the volume of aluminium is more than lead, as volume is equal to mass divided by density. So, the buoyant force acting on the aluminium is more than lead.
