Answer: D

Explanation:

When an object falls gravity is pulling down on it and is picking up speed, but as it gains speed air resistance becomes a faster. Air resistance increases with speed. And that force keeps it from accelerating eventually the object will pick up speed such that the force due to air resistance will keep it from getting any more speed at that point force due to air resistance is equal to its weight (mg) and the net force is equal to zero so it won’t accelerate any more at that point it is said to be moving in terminal velocity.

When an object has reached terminal velocity, it will have a constant velocity

Consider the numbers 23.68 and 4.12. The sum of these numbers has ____ significant figures, and the product of these numbers has

damaskus [11]

Answer:multiplying will give us 7 significant figures and addition will give us 3 significant figures

Explanation:

After multiplying the two numbers they resulting value will give a value in its 4 decimal places because both given values are in 2 decimal places. The 4 dp is gotten by the addition of the decimal places of both given numbers (2+2) and

The result of its addition will give us a value in its 1dp and 3 significant figures since the addition of 23.68 and 4.12 will give us 27.8

BARSIC [14]

ANSWER:

The study and analysis of light according to its component wavelengths is called spectroscopy.

EXPLANATION:

Spectroscopy is the branch of science that is concerned with the investigation and measurement of spectrum produced when matter interacts with or emits electromagnetic radiation.It helps us to identify atoms and molecules in the object.Spectroscopy is used to find out Dopplers effect (the red shift and blue shift),which tells how fast the object is comming towards earth or moving away from the earth.
