The parcel will undergo projectile motion, which means that it will have motion in both the horizontal and vertical direction.
First, we determine how long the parcel will fall using:
s = ut + 1/2 at²
where s will be the height, u is the initial vertical velocity of the parcel (0), t is the time of fall and a is the acceleration due to gravity.
5.5 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (9.81)(t)²
t = 1.06 seconds

Answer: The Transit method</h2>
Detecting extrasolar planets by direct observation (with a telescope) is a complicated task. This is because any planet constitutes an extremely dim light source compared to the star around which it orbits.
So, to detect this extremely dim source is quite difficult due to the glare of the star's light that dulls it.
In this sense, scientists and astronomers have made several methods to find these extrasolar planets, among which the most successful has been the transit method.
This method is based on <u>astronomical transit</u>, a phenomenon in which a body (a planet in this case) passes in front of a larger one (the star), blocking (eclipsing) its vision to some extent.
It should be noted that this is the method currently used in the search for extrasolar planets. Space agencies such as ESA (Europe) and NASA (USA) have put into orbit satellites with extremely sensitive photometric sensors to observe even the smallest variations of intensity of a star due to the passage of a planet.
Answer:
A and B
Explanation:
The data sets that depict an accelerating object is Data Set A & Data Set B.
The both data sets show that the body is accelerating. Also, they show that the body started from rest (0m/s) at a 0sec.
Data Set A shows a non-constant acceleration which has changing amount of velocity with change in time. While Data Set B shows a constant acceleration which has constant amount of velocity with change in time.
Answer: A.AB
Explanation:
This Velocity vs Time graph shows the acceleration of a body or object, since acceleration is the variation of velocity in time.
As we can see in the attached image, the graph can be divided in four segments:
OA: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a positive slope, hence we are dealing with a positive uniform acceleration.
AB: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be positive. This means the <u>acceleration is nonuniform and positive.</u>
BC: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be negative. This means the acceleration is nonuniform and negative.
CD: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a negative slope, hence we are dealing with a negative uniform acceleration.
From all these segments, the only one that fulfils the nonuniform positive acceleration condition is option A:
Segment AB
