Answer:

Arrow (2)

Explanation:

Friction is a force due to the contact between the external surfaces of an object and the molecules of the medium in which the object is travelling through. In this particular case, friction is due to the molecules of air, which hit the arrow and slow it down. For this reason, friction is always directed in the opposite direction to the motion of the object: in this case, we see that the ball at point P is travelling in the right-upward direction, so friction acts in the left-downward direction, so it must be option (2).

Friction acts in opposite direction to applied force, as arrow is going upward right, friction will act in downward left..

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

Answer:

1.38*10^18 kg

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G*\frac{m_a*m_p}{r^2}$

where:

G= Gravitational constant (6.674×10−11 N · (m/kg)2)

ma= mass of the astronaut

mp= mass of the planet

$F=m_a.a\\(v_f )^2=(v_o)^2+2.a.\Delta y\\\\a=\frac{(v_f)^2-(v_o)^2}{2.\Delta y}\\\\a=\frac{(0)^2-(4.29m/s)^2}{2.0.64m}=14.38m/s^2\\\\F=m_a*14.38m/s^2$

so:

$m_a*14.38m/s^2=(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)*\frac{m_a.m_p}{(2.530*10^3m)^2}\\m_p=\frac{14.38m/s^2(2.530*10^3m)^2}{(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)}\\\\m_p=1.38*10^{18}kg$

Compare the geology of Callisto, Ganymede, and Titan.

V125BC [204]

Explanation: Ganymede, Callisto, Titan are the moons of outer planets or gaseous planets which are made up of ice and rock. Callisto is an ice-covered moon and has no inner or outer activity and is considered basically geologically dead. Ganymede has rocky core and shows signs of tectonic activity, including long cracks in the crust and regions of young surface terrain. Titan has active geology of liquid hydrocarbons on the surface, rain back onto the surface and evaporation into the atmosphere. It has similar size, composition and mass to Ganymede and Callisto.
