If it were possible for an object to fall freely near the surface of the Earth,
-- The direction of its velocity would always be "down"; that is, toward the center of the Earth.
-- The size of its velocity would continually increase, at the rate of 9.8 meters per second for every second it falls.
Answer:
I don't know about these problems at all.
Explanation:
I don't know about physics at all
<span>Different materials expand and contract at different rates based on temperature. Just like if you leave a plastic bottle full of water in a freezer it will burst, but if you leave it partially full no problem.....Ok?Expansion joints do the same for bridges. There is a gap to allow for temperature related expansions and contractions. Sometimes you drive over bridges and roadways where this movement is constricted and you might notice a bumpy ride. Engineers can predict the variation of structural length based on span lengths and leave the necessary gaps.....btw, NICE QUESTION:)</span>
