Option D is correct. An arch carries the thrust of weight to its <u>sides </u>with a <u>post-and-lintel.</u>

<h3>What is an arch?</h3>
An arch is indeed a vertical curving construction that covers an elevated space that may or may not sustain the load above it or the pressure gradient against it
In the case of a horizontally arched, such as an embankment dam. While arches and vaults are often confused, A vault is defined as an ongoing arch forming a roof.
Option D satisfies the fill-in blanks option.
Hence option D is correct. An arch carries the thrust of weight to its <u>sides </u>with a <u>post-and-lintel.</u>

<h2>Answer: The astronauts are falling at the same rate as the space shuttle as it orbits around earth</h2>
The astronauts seem to float because they are in free fall just like the spacecraft.
However, although they are constantly falling on the Earth, they do not fall because the ship orbits at a sufficient speed (in the same direction of rotation of the Earth) so that the centrifugal force is balanced with the Earth's gravitational pull.
In other words:
The spaccraft and the astronauts are in free fall but the Earth's surface will never be reached as long as they does not decrease the speed.
Then, as they accelerate toward Earth (regardless of their mass), it curves beneath them and never comes close.
That's why astronauts, having the same acceleration as the spacecraft, feel weightless and see themselves floating.
The solid, liquid and gas phases of water would have the same structure of the molecules since they are same substance. The only difference would be the distances of the molecules in the container. For a ice, the molecules are close to each other where the molecules vibrate only in place. For liquid, the molecules are freely moving and are at some distance with each other but not that far away with each other. Steam, on the other hand, would have molecules that are very far from each other and are freely moving in the whole container. As the container is heated, the size of the molecules would not change. It is only the volume that has changed. Also, the mass is the same since there is no outflow of the substances.
There are two ways to solve this problem. First we write the given.
Given: Force F = 400 N; Height h = 0.5 m; Time t = 2 s
Formula: P = W/t; but Work W = Force x distance or W = f x d
Weight is also a Force, therefore: W = mg, solve for Mass m = ?
m = w/g m = 400 N/9.8 m/s² m = 40.82 Kg
P = W/t = F x d/t = mgh/t P = (40.82 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)/2 s
P = 100 J/s or 100 Watts
