You're conducting a physics experiment on another planet. You drop a rock from a height of 2.1 m and it hits the ground 0.6 seco

nds later. What is the acceleration due to gravity on this planet?
A. 7.0 m/s2
B. 9.8 m/s2
C. 11.7 m/s2
D. 5.2 m/s2

(What formula should I use to solve this on my own?)

The formula to use is the one that connects the acceleration,
the distance fallen, and the time spent falling:

         Distance = 1/2 a T² .

You said  2.1 meters in 0.6 second .

                                                         2.1 m              = 1/2 a  (0.6 sec)²

Multiply each side by  2 :                  4.2 m              =       a (0.6 sec)²

Divide each side by (0.6 sec)² =     (4.2/0.36) m/s² =        a

                                                         a = (11 and 2/3) m/s²

                                        (about 19% more than Earth's gravity)

Chemicals in the air can combine with rain to produce acid rain, which is harmful to the environment. Which of these is most lik
irinina [24]
Hi there!

Normal rain has a pH between 5.0 and 5.5, which is slightly acidic on the pH scale. Acid rain on the other hand has an average pH of 4.0, much more acidic than your average rain.

Therefore, the most likely pH of acid rain would be 4.0.

Suppose there was a star with a parallax angle of 1 arcsecond. How far away would it be?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer: 3.26 light years

Explanation:

Each star has a parallax of one arcsecond at a distance of one parsec, which is equivalent to 3.26 light years.

so the parallax of 1 arcsecond will be at a distance of <em>1/1 × 3.26 light years</em>

A bird takes off from the tree and after 5 s is flying at a speed of 10 m/s. Calculate
Volgvan

Answer:

10miles/second

Explanation:

Change in velocity of the bird is expressed as the difference between the final velocity and initial velocity of the body.

Change in velocity = Final velocity - initial velocity

Since the bird takes off from the tree, the initial velocity of the bird = 0miles/sec

Final velocity = 10miles/secs

Change in velocity = 10-0

Change in velocity = 10miles/second

Heat is transferred from the sun to the earth via electromagnetic waves (see Chapter 24). Because of this transfer, the entropy
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

1.  Decreases,

2.   Increases,

3.   Increases

Explanation:

The heat which is a product of sun's energy, is transferred from the sun to the earth through radiation, conduction or convention. This heat passes through the earth atmosphere, then warms it , before becoming heat energy.

Therefore, Heat is transferred from the sun to the earth via electromagnetic waves . Because of this transfer, the entropy of the sun DECREASES, the entropy of the earth INCREASES and the entropy of the sun-earth system INCREASES.
