Answer: D) directed downward.

Explanation:

We know that the constant acceleration of 9.87ms^{-2} of every-thing is always DIRECT DOWNWARDS because of the to the influence of the gravity of the Earth.

This motion is denoted as free fall motion , where the acceleration due to the gravity is constant 9.87ms^{-2}.

∴ A ball tossed vertically upward rises, reaches its highest point, and then falls back to its starting point. During this time the acceleration of the ball is always  directed downward.

Hence, the correct answer is D) directed downward..

A 500.0 kg module is attached to a 440.0 kg shuttle craft, which moves at 1050. m/s relative to the stationary main spaceship. T
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

0.955286  j

Explanation:

A 500.0 kg module is attached to a 440.0 kg shuttle craft, which moves at 1050. m/s relative to the stationary main spaceship. Then a small explosion sends the module backward with speed 100.0 m/s relative to the new speed of the shuttle craft. As measured by someone on the main spaceship, by what fraction did the kinetic energy of the module and shuttle craft, Ki, increase because of the explosion?

M=500 kg,  m=440 kg

V=1000 m/s, v = 100 m/s

Let relative speed =Vs

Momentum rule says

(M+m)V=mVs+M(Vs-v)

 940(1000)=500(Vs-100)+440Vs

 940000=500Vs-50000+440Vs

 940Vs=940000+50000

 940Vs=990000

 Vs= 990000/940=1053.19 m/s

So, the module speed = Vs-v=1053.19-100=953.19 m/s

Fractional increase in KE is given by;

Total KE after explosion / He before explosion

=500(953.19)2+ 400(1053.19)2/ 940(1000)2= 0.955286

An electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 6.0 x 10^18 Hz. What is the
jonny [76]

Answer:

Wavelength = 5 * 10^{-11} meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Frequency = 6.0 x 10^18 Hz

Speed = 3 * 10⁸ m/s

To find the wavelength of the wave;

Mathematically, the wavelength of a wave is given by the formula;

Wavelength = \frac {speed}{frequency}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Wavelength = \frac {3 * 10^{8}}{6.0 x 10^{18}}

Wavelength = 5 * 10^{-11} meters

if a tank filled with water contains a block and the height of the water above point A within the block is 0.6meter, what's the
Fittoniya [83]
The pressure exerted by a fluid solely relies on the depth or height of the fluid, its density, and the gravitational constant. These three are related in the equation:

Pressure = density x g x height

In the problem, point A is within the block inside the tank. The water above the block is assumed to be 0.6 meters. This gives a point A pressure of:

P = 1000 kg/m^3 * 9.81 m/s^2 * 0.6 m = 5,886 Pa or 5.88KPa

Water vapor in earth's atmosphere primarily absorbs which type of photon
Charra [1.4K]
Any object having a temperature greater than absolute zero gives off electromagnetic radiation. Water in the atmosphere primarily known as water vapor upon encountered by the heat released by the sun emits relatively long wavelengths of infrared photons. These infrared photons moved up to the more elevated level in the atmosphere since it is now highly reactive.

What is, by far, the most abundant component of Earth’s atmosphere?
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Molecular Nitrogen

Explanation:

Earth's atmosphere is a mixture of several gases in their molecular form . The most abundant of them is the element nitrogen. 78% of it is nitrogen and the rest that follow are Oxygen, Carbon dioxide and a mixture of other gases like Neon, Helium, Methane, Water vapor. hen the air is dry, argon is the third most abundant element in the earth's atmosphere.

As the height above the earth's surface increases, the air molecules decrease.
