The distance that is traveled by the astronaut given that the motion is free-fall can be calculated through the equation,
d = Vot + 0.5at²
where d is the distance, Vo is the initial velocity, t is the time, and a is the acceleration. Substituting the known,
6 = (0 m/s)(2.7 s) + 0.5(a)(2.7 s)²
Determining the value of a,
a = 1.646 m/s²
ANSWER: 1.646 m/s²

The fractional change in resistance is equal to the given temperature coefficient multiplied by the change in temperature.
R = R₀×(1 + α×ΔT)
R = (10.0 Ω)×(1 + 0.004×(65 -20)) = 11.8 Ω
Answer:
The forces of push and pull
Explanation:
In the egg drop experiment, the egg is balanced on top of a toilet paper tube and balanced on a pan. The pan itself is placed on top of a glass of water. When the experimenter uses his hands to push the pan, the force of gravity pulls the egg downwards making it move down, right into the glass of water.
So the two forces which are applied in opposite directions are;
1. The force of push applied horizontally by the hand when it pushes the pan away, and
2. The force of pull caused by gravity which makes the egg move vertically downwards.
1. Frequency: 
The frequency of a light wave is given by:
where
is the speed of light
is the wavelength of the wave
In this problem, we have light with wavelength
Substituting into the equation, we find the frequency:
2. Period: 
The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:
The frequency of this light wave is (found in the previous exercise), so the period is:
