Answer:

A) being influenced by equal amounts of gravity and air resistance.

Explanation:

B) slowing down because of an unbalanced force of air resistance.

False - if it was slowing down, then the velocity would go down.

D) on the ground and is not falling anymore.

False - This would be mistaken as the answer but it is not because if the person is not falling anymore the horizontal line should be at the x-axis, meaning that there is no more velocity.

C) accelerating because of an unbalanced force of gravity.

False - The line would otherwise be going up or down.

A tightrope walker more easily balances on a tightwire if his pole

cestrela7 [59]

B) droops.

Why?
To maintain balance, you do not need something short so you're balanced well... You need something long and droopy to maintain balance. The pole should be held by your waist and it should be light.

Hope this helps!~

Which describes a high frequency wave?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. A high frequency wave is a wave with a low level of energy and a high pitch. Frequency is the number of waves passing per second of time. Hope this answers the question.

g In a certain binary-star system, each star has the same mass which is 8.2 times of that of the Sun, and they revolve about the

Mademuasel [1]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Third Law of Kepler.

Kepler's third law tells us that the period is defined as

$T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 d^3}{2GM}$

The given data are given with respect to known constants, for example the mass of the sun is

$m_s = 1.989*10^{30}$

The radius between the earth and the sun is given by

$r = 149.6*10^9m$

From the mentioned star it is known that this is 8.2 time mass of sun and it is 6.2 times the distance between earth and the sun

Therefore:

$m = 8.2*1.989*10^{30}$

$d = 6.2*149.6*10^6$

Substituting in Kepler's third law:

$T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 d^3}{2}$

$T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2(6.2*149.6*10^9)^3}{2(6.674*10^{-11} )(8.2*1.989*10^30 )}$

$T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2(6.2*149.6*10^9)^3}{2(6.674*10^{-11} )(8.2*1.989*10^30)}}$

$T = 120290789.7s$

$T = 120290789.7s(\frac{1year}{31536000s})$

$T \approx 3.8143 years$

Therefore the period of this star is 3.8years

A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

L = 499 m

Explanation:

If we assume that the speed of sound is constant, that travels along a straight line, and that the echo is instantaneous, we can find the total distance travelled by the sound, as follows, just applying the definition of average velocity:

$\Delta x = v_{s} * t = 343 m/s* 2.91 s = 998 m$

If we assume that the time needed to reach to the cliff, is the same used for the return travel, the length of the lake will be exactly half of the total distance calculated:

$l_{lake} = \frac{\Delta x}{2} = \frac{998m}{2} = 499 m$

The length of the lake is 499 m.
