Given Information:  

Acceleration of gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Time period = t = 3 seconds

Required Information:

velocity = v = ?

Answer:  

v = 29.4 m/s

Explanation:  

As we know the velocity of an object under free fall assuming that the object was initially at rest is given by

v = -gt

Where minus sign indicates that the object is moving downward

v = -9.8*3

v = -29.4 m/s

Therefore, the rock will be falling at the speed of 29.4 m/s after 3 seconds.

Energy in an ecosystem is first obtained by
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This establishes the beginning of energy flow through almost all food webs.

What did Thomson contribute to the model of atom
Ganezh [65]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>Electrons </em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Thomson contributed to the model of an atom by discovery of </u></em><em><u>electrons </u></em><em><u>and thus proving the existence of sub-atomic particles in an atom. </u></em>
  • <u><em>Thomson used cathode ray tube, and demonstrated that cathode rays were negatively charged.</em></u> According to his model normally known as the plum pudding in which he stated that an atom is composed of electrons as subatomic particles that are surrounded by positive charges to balance the electrons.

In concave mirror, the size of image depends upon
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The distance of the object placed on the principal axis from the concave mirror.

Explanation:

In a concave mirror, the nature of the image formed formed by the object placed in front of the mirror depends on the position of the object placed in from of the mirror. It all depends on the distance between the mirror and the object placed on the principal axis.

The closer the object is to the lens, the more larger or magnified the image formed will be. For example an object placed between the focal point and the pole of a concave produces a much larger image than an object placed beyond the centre of curvature of such mirror.

timama [110]
<span>The loudness of the sound increases gradually as the air is slowly introduced in to the jar. This is because sound needs a physical medium and in a vacuum there is none. The air provides that medium and as it is introduced, the transfer of sound energy increases</span>
