We use the formula,

Here, h is the variable represents the height of the flare in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.
Substituting these values in above equation, we get
.
Here, t= 0 neglect because it is the time when the flare is launched.
Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.
An initial velocity is:
v o = 25 m/s
The vertical component of the initial velocity:
v o y = v o * sin 60° =
= v o * √3 / 2 = 25 m/s * √3 / 2 = 21.65 m/s
Answer:
The approximate vertical component of the initial velocity is 21.65 m/s.
Answer:
Amplitude is decreased by a factor of
if intensity is decreased by a factor of 3.
Explanation:
Intensity of a sound wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.
Therefore, if intensity is
and amplitude is
, then
, where,
is constant of proportionality.
Now, if intensity of sound wave is decreased by a factor of 3. So,
New intensity is, 

Plug in
for
. This gives,

Therefore, amplitude is decreased by a factor of
.
The correct answer is A. Acid rain forms from human activities and lowers the pH of rainwater below 7
Explanation:
The term "acid rain" is used to refer to rainwater with a low pH or a high acidity, this includes rainwater with a pH below 7 (solutions with a pH under 7 are acidic). In terms of formation, acid rain is mainly the result of human activities such as factories or cars that release pollutants into the atmosphere including nitric and sulfuric acids and these alter the natural pH of rain and makes it more acidic. Additionally, acid rain has negative consequences such as the death of fishes and other organisms in lakes, rivers, etc. because the acidity is toxic to many organisms. Thus, acid rain is the result of human activities and it lowers the pH of rain (Option A).
