Answer:

C. directly at the initial position of the object

Explanation:

As we know that archer wants to hit the target at a given position but at the same time when archer shot the arrow the the target is also dropped under gravity

So here the arrow will move simultaneously in two directions

a) horizontal motion with uniform speed

b) motion under gravity

so here the arrow will move under gravity and drops the same distance in same time as that the target will drop due to gravity

so here the motion of arrow will hit the target if the archer initial shot at the initial position of the target

It has to be D because the arrow will drop as it moves, if it were a gun, you'd lead the target so fire below it, but due to it being an arrow, you aim high not low. Also, they didnt specify how fast anything is, so you'd probably miss if you actually did it.

What forces contribute to density
mixer [17]
No force contributes to density, the density is a physical quantity that is defined as being \rho = m/V 
 the raport between the mass of the object and its volume. However if you want to measure the density of an object you might want to determine its gravity force (weight) G=mg from which knowing the gravitational acceleratin you can find its mass m=G/g
 
where G is given in Newtons and g=9.81 is given in  (m/s^2)

Why does the frequency of a wave increase as the wavelength decreases
olchik [2.2K]

Explanation:

We know that the number of complete waves formed in 1 sec time is frequency and the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs is wavelength. And we have the formula that

Velocity = wavelength * frequency

or, frequency = velocity / wavelength

Here we can see frequency is directly proportional to velocity and indirectly proportional to wavelength.

So as the wavelength increases frequency decreases and as the wavelength decreases frequency increases.

Hope you understood
