(C) Air Resistance
<u>Explanation:</u>
When an object falls through air, air resistance acts on it in upward direction. When air resistance acts, acceleration during a fall will be less than g because air resistance affects the motion of the falling objects by slowing it down. Air resistance depends on two important factors - the speed of the object and its surface area. Increasing the surface area of an object decreases its speed.
We will measure all angles from West, the negative x-axis and divide the journey into 3 parts:
P1 = 370y
P2 = 410cos(45)x + 410sin(45)y = 290x + 290y
P3 = 370cos(270 - 28)x + 370sin(270 - 28) = -174x - 327y
Overall displacement:
x = 290 - 174 = 116 m
y = 370 + 290 - 327 = 333 m
displacement = √(116² + 333²)
= 353 m
Direction:
tan(∅) = y/x
∅ = tan⁻¹ (333 / 116)
∅ = 70.8° from West.
Answer:
D. Molecules of a gas slow down and change to a liquid state.
Explanation:
- Condensation refers to a process by which a gas changes from gaseous state to liquid state. For example, water vapor changes to from the state of being a gas to liquid state water.
- Condensation is the opposite of evaporation and occurs when gaseous particles slow down and change into liquid state.
- Heat energy is lost during condensation and gaseous molecules lose kinetic energy making them to slow down and thus changing to liquid state,
