Answer:

1. Earth rotates on its axis; this causes us to experience day and night.

2. The speed of light is 186000 miles per second

3. The four seasons happen because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. At different times of the year, the sun's rays hit different parts of the globe more directly. The angle of the Earth's axis tilts the Northern Hemisphere towards the sun during the summer.

Answer:

Seasons occur because of the tilt of the earth's axis which is at an angle of 23.5o. As the earth rotates, the sun rays hit different parts of the globe more directly than others... that's why in the UK its Summer when its Winter in Australia ie North/South hemisphere.

Google speed of light for eg mph, km/h etc but the exact figure is 299,792,458 metres per second

Answer:

Since strong nuclear forces involve only nuclear particles (not electrons, bonds, etc) items 3 and 4 are eliminated.

Again item 2 refers to bonds between atoms and is eliminated.

This leaves only item 1.

Nuclear forces are very short range forces between components of the nucleus.

Weak nuclear forces are trillions of times smaller than strong forces.

Gravitational forces are much much smaller than the weak nuclear force.

A projectile is launched

Flauer [41]

The vertical component of the velocity after the given time is -9.8 m/s while the horizontal component of the velocity is 16 m/s.

The given parameters;

initial horizontal velocity, vₓ = 16 m/s
initial vertical velocity, $v_y =0$
time interval 1 seconds

The components of the velocity can be horizontal or vertical velocity.

The vertical component of the velocity is affected by acceleration due to gravity while the horizontal component of the velocity is not affected by gravity.

The vertical component of the velocity is calculated as;

$v_y = v_0_y -gt\\\\v_y = 0 - (1\times 9.8)\\\\v_y = -9.8 \ m/s$

The horizontal component of the velocity is constant since it is not affected by gravity.

The horizontal component of the velocity = 16 m/s

Thus, the vertical component of the velocity after the given time is -9.8 m/s while the horizontal component of the velocity is 16 m/s.
