Answers:
A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road.
B. A car driving at steady speed up a 10∘ incline.
Explanation:
An object is said to be in an inertial reference frame if the net force acting on the object is zero. According to Newton's second law, this also means that the acceleration of the object is also zero:
Since F=0, a=0 as well.
Let's now analyze each case.
A. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road. --> YES: this is an inertial reference frame, because the car is keeping a constant speed and a constant direction, so its velocity is not changing, and its acceleration is zero.
B. A car driving at steady speed up a 10∘ incline. --> YES: this is an inertial reference frame, because the car is keeping a constant speed and a constant direction, so its velocity is not changing, and its acceleration is zero.
C. A car speeding up after leaving a stop sign. --> NO: this is not an intertial reference frame, because the car is speeding up, so it is accelerating.
D. A car driving at steady speed around a curve. --> NO: this is not an inertial reference frame, because the car is changing direction, therefore its velocity is changing and so the car is accelerating.
So the only two choices which are correct are A and B.

Answer:
56.02 mph
Explanation:
Let the velocity of boat in still water is,
Given that velocity of the current is 55 mph
Now, velocity against current is, v-55
velocity along the current is v+55.
And according to question, time taken by boat to travel 1010 miles against the current is equivalent to time take to travel 110110 miles with the current.
Therefore,
Time taken against the current is,
Time taken with the current is,
Now this time is equal.
Therefore,
Therefore, this is the velocity in still water.
The correct answer of terrestial weather:
The solar insolation in the visible and infrared regions of the solar electromagnetic spectrum is much more than the energy that space weather occurrences release into the troposphere and stratosphere. Despite claims to the contrary, there may be some connection between the Earth's climate and the 11-year sunspot cycle. There is no proof of this. For instance, it has frequently been suggested that the Maunder minimum, a 70-year period almost devoid of sunspots, is correlated to a cooler climate, but these correlations have vanished after further research. Changes in cosmic ray flux are hypothesized to affect how much cloud formation occurs.
