Answer:

The correct choice is

"reflects a small percentage of the sunlight that strikes it"

Explanation:

Mercury has no atmosphere and it being very close to sun receives large amount of sunlight. due to absence of atmosphere, much of the sunlight reach the surface of the planet and gets absorbed by the surface making it very hot for life. Only a small percentage of sunlight that strikes the surface gets reflected.

We want to know what does the fact that Mercury has no atmosphere tell us. Since Mercury has no atmosphere it cant reflect a lot of sunlight that is hitting its surface. Its constantly being hit by solar wind. So Mercury reflects a small percentage of the sunlight that strikes it.

A ball is dropped from rest from a high window of a tall building and falls for 4 seconds. Neglecting air resistance, the final

Semenov [28]

Answer:

The final velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

A ball is dropped from rest from a high window of a tall building.

Time = 4 sec

We need to calculate the final velocity of the ball

Using equation if motion

$v=u+gt$

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Put the value into the formula

$v=0+9.8\times4$

$v=39.2\ m/s$

Hence, The final velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s.

Does mechanical advantage have units? Explain your answer.

motikmotik

Answer:

The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the load (the resistance overcome by a machine) to the effort (the force applied). For an ideal (without friction) mechanism, it is also equal to: There is no unit for mechanical advantages since the unit for both input and output forces cancel out.
