<span>The force of gravity between a planet and a person or object on
its surface is called the person or object's weight on that planet.

The planet's weight on the person or object is exactly the same number,
because gravity always acts as an equal pair of forces ... one in each direction.

seropon [69]
The boat is moving at 22 m/s while the man is moving at 23.1 m/s.

That means the man, relative to the boat, is moving at 23.1-22 = 1.1 m/s.

v =d/t, so t = d/v --> t = 3/1.1 = 2.7 s

Background information about reflection and refraction of light
KIM [24]

Answer:

reflection :

  • angle of reflection and angle of incidence is equal
  • Incident ray and reflect d ray plus normal lies on the same plan on a same point
  • light reflect uniformly if it is incident on a plan surface

refraction :

  • light will refrect if light goes from rare medium to a dense medium or vice versa
  • after the light is refracted, it retunes to its original direction
  • angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of refraction

Which is not an example of a scalar?
Crank

b) 2ft/s

Explanation:

A scalar has only magintude, not direction

6.2m, 3kg, and -100 o C are all scalars because they only have magnitude.

2ft/s is not a scalar because it has a direction.
