Answer:

E. downward and constant

Explanation:

Freefall is a special case of motion with constant acceleration because the acceleration due to gravity is always constant and downward. This is true even when an object is thrown upward or has zero velocity.

For example, when a ball is thrown up in the air, the ball's velocity is initially upward. Since gravity pulls the object toward the earth with a constant acceleration ggg, the magnitude of velocity decreases as the ball approaches maximum height. At the highest point in its trajectory, the ball has zero velocity, and the magnitude of velocity increases again as the ball falls back toward the earth.

Explanation:

An object in free fall experiences constant acceleration if air resistance is negligible.

A sample of an ideal gas initially occupies a volume of 6 L. The pressure of the sample is then doubled while it is cooled to on
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

V₂= 1 L

Explanation:

Given that

Volume occupies V₁= 6 L

Initial pressure = P₁

Initial temperature = T₁

The final pressure =P₂ = 2 P₁

Final volume =V₂

Final temperature = T₁/3

As we know that equation for ideal gas

P V = m R T

P=pressure,  V=volume,   T=temperature

m=mass  ,R=gas constant

Now from mass conservation

m=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}

\dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}

\dfrac{P_1\times 6}{RT_1}=3\times \dfrac{2P_1V_2}{RT_1}

6 = 3 x 2 V₂

V₂= 1 L

So the final volume will be 1 L

Which statement best describes a wave?
dedylja [7]

Correct answer choice is:

D. A continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.

Explanation:

Waves include the carrier of energy without the carrier of matter. In outcome, a wave can be characterized as a change that progresses into a medium, carrying energy from one spot (its source) to different spot without carrying matter.

During World War I, the Germans had a gun called Big Bertha that was used to shell Paris. The shell had an initial speed of 2.61
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The shell hit at a distance of 1.9 x 10² km

The time of flight of the shell was 5.3 x 10² s

Explanation:

The position of the shell is given by the vector "r":

r  = (x0 + v0 * t * cos α ; y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²)

where:

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = magnitude of the initial velocity

t = time

α = launching angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration of gravity

When the shell hit, the vertical component (ry) of the vector position r is 0. See figure.

Then:

ry = 0 =  y0 + v0 * t * sin α + 1/2 g t²

Since the gun is at the center of our system of reference, y0 and x0 = 0

0 = t (v0 sin α + 1/2 g t)

t= 0 is discarded as solution

v0 sin α + 1/2 g t = 0

t = -2v0 sin α / g

t = (-2 * 2610 m/s * sin 81.9°)/ (-9.8 m/s²) = 5.3 x 10² s. This is the time of flight of the shell until it hit.

Then, the distance at which the shell hit is:

Distance = Module of r = ( x0 + v0 * t * cos α; 0) = x0 + v0 * t * cos α  

Distance = 2.61 km/s * 5.3 x 10² s * cos 81.9 = 1.9 x 10² km
