Answer:

A yard is shorter than a meter.

Explanation:

>>>1 yard is 0.914 m, so a yard is shorter than a meter.

>>>1 mile is 1.609 km, so a mile is longer than a kilometer

>>>1 foot is 30.48cm, so a foot longer than a centimeter

>>> 1 inch is 2.54cm, so an inch is longer than a centimeter

From the above relationships, only a yard is shorter than a meter is true. Others are wrong.

The Andromeda galaxy is the closest major galaxy to our own. Andromeda shows a distinct blue-shift of light when we analyze it.
saul85 [17]
At the present time, the only way we know of that light can get shifted
toward the blue end of the spectrum is the Doppler effect ... wavelengths
appear shorter than they should be when the source is moving toward us. 

IF that's true in the case of the Andromeda galaxy, it means the galaxy is
moving toward us.

We use the same reasoning to conclude that all the galaxies whose light is red-shifted are moving away from us.  That includes the vast majority of all galaxies that we can see, and it strongly supports the theory of the big bang
and the expanding universe.

If somebody ever comes along and discovers a DIFFERENT way that light
can get shifted to new, longer or shorter wavelengths, then pretty much all
of modern Cosmology will be out the window.  There's a lot riding on the
Doppler effect !

At an air show, a stunt pilot performs a vertical loop-the-loop in a circle of radius 3.63 x 103 m. During this performance the
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

189 m/s

Explanation:

The pilot will experience weightlessness when the centrifugal force, F equals his weight, W.

So, F = W

mv²/r = mg

v² = gr

v = √gr where  v = velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and r = radius of loop = 3.63 × 10³ m

So, v = √gr

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 3.63 × 10³ m)

v = √(35.574 × 10³ m²/s²)

v = √(3.5574 × 10⁴ m²/s²)

v = 1.89 × 10² m/s

v = 189 m/s

A conservative force does the same work regardless of the path taken.
ella [17]

A conservative force is a force that when work is done against this force the work done does not depend on the path taken only the initial and final position.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 22.3 m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 127 m from the base
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

t = 2.13 s

Explanation:

given,

height of the building = 22.3 m

horizontal distance = 127 m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

time for which ball is in motion = ?

using equation of motion

s = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

initial velocity is zero

s = \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 22.3}{9.8}}

       t = √4.551

        t = 2.13 s
