The last choice. Two arrows and the arrow up is shorter than the arrow down. Since the guy is falling and he’s opened his chute, he’s slowing down but he’s still falling meaning the force of gravity is stronger than the air resistance.

The answer is A. I just took the test on K12 and it was A.

Two gliders on an air track collide in a perfectly elastic collision. Glider A has a mass of 1.1 kg and is initially travelling

Eva8 [605]

m1= mass 1 = 1.1 kg

Vi1 = initial velocity 1 = 2.7 m/s

m2= 2.4 kg

V2i = -1.9 m/s

We assume east as positive and west as negative.

Apply the formulas:

Vf1 = ?

$vf1=(\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2})Vi1+(\frac{2m2}{m1+m2})Vi2$

Replacing:

$Vf1=\frac{(1.1-2.4)}{(1.1+2.4)}2.7+\frac{(2\times2.4)}{(1.1+2.4)}-1.9$ $Vf1=(\frac{-1.3}{3.5})2.7+(\frac{4.8}{3.5})-1.9$ $Vf1=-1-2.6=-3.6\text{ m/s}$

Answer: 3.6 m/s west

Light is an oscillating magnetic field alone. an oscillating electric field alone. electric and magnetic fields that oscillate p

cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

As light is an electromagnetic wave that causes sensation of sight.

Every electromagnetic wave has electrical and magnetic components in it which are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.

The electrical and magnetic components are mutually perpendicular to each other in an electromagnetic wave.

The speed of light in vacuum is c=3\times 10^{8}\ m.s^{-1}, which decreases when it passes through a matter (precisely a transparent medium) which allows the passage of light through it. When the light passes through some transparent matter then its speed decreases as compared to the speed of light in vacuum.

Answer:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.

An alluvial fan is a wide, sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range. Make sure not to confuse it with a delta. A delta is a landform made of sediment that is deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake. Hope this helped!
