It is gravity. As a sky diver falls (ignoring air resistance for now) he increases in acceleration due to gravity, or 9.81m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). Inertia is, by definition, <span>a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force (credit to Google). However, if the sky diver has some kind of webbing on his suit, a drag force opposite to gravitational weight cancels it, and it moves at a constant drag velocity.

Sorry I got carried away... physicist...

It is gravity. Hope this helps!</span>

Explanation :

When an object moves under the action of gravity. Then the object is said to be moving under free fall.

We know that the acceleration due to gravity is denoted by g and it is equal to 9.8\ m/s^2.

If the body is accelerating towards the gravity the value of g is positive while when it is accelerating against the gravity it is negative.

As the skydiver falls to Earth, she experiences positive acceleration due to gravity.

So, the correct option is (a) gravity.

The reasoning which is in use when large, angular rocks are interpreted to have originated from the outcrop at the top of the hill is; Fossil succession

<h3>Fossil succession of rocks</h3>

The principle of fossil succession in characterized by the fact that fossil entities succeed one another upward through rock layers in a definite and determinable order.

On this note, any time period can be dated by its fossil content.

What is the frequency of radiation emitted by a photon of light if the energy released during its transition to ground state is
miskamm [114]
If i was feeling harsh today, I'd say the answer to your question is impossible to obtain due to the fact that photons do not emit radiation, photons ARE the radiation emitted. Though for the sake of it, here is the method...

<u>The simple method:
</u>

E=hf

therefore f=e/h

f=(3.611x10^-15) / 6.63x10^-34)

Answer: 5.45x10^18
