Answer:

A) Gravitational Force is greater in S.

B) Time taken to fall a given distance in air will be greater for F.

C) Both will take same time to fall in a vacuum.

D) Total force is greater in S.

Explanation:

(a) In this case, the gravitational force of S will be greater, because Newton's Second Law states that - F = ma, or weight =mg. g is constant. And mass of the solid metal is heavier.

(b) In this case, the time it will take for F to fall from a given distance in air will be greater than that of S, since the air resistance is not negligible (as in the case of S).

(c) In this, It will take same time for S and F because in a vacuum, there are no air particles, so there is no air resistance and gravity is the only force acting and so objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum.

(d) The total force will be greater in S than F because Force=ma and S is of heavier mass than F.

This is for physical science, need help :/

1).  From the frame of reference of a passenger on the airplane looking out of his window, the tree appears to be moving, at roughly 300 miles per hour toward the left of the picture.

2).  The SI unit best suited to measuring the height of a building is the meter.

3).  'Displacement' is the straight-line distance and direction from the start-point to the end-point, regardless of the path that was followed to get there.  

The ball started out in the child's hand, and it ended up 2 meters away from her in the direction of the wall.  So the displacement of the ball from the beginning to the end of the story is:  2 meters toward the wall.
