Strange as it may seem, the object would keep moving, in a straight line and at the same speed, until it came near another object. Its momentum and kinetic energy would never change. It might continue like that for a billion years or more.
Have a look at Newton's first law of motion.
Answer:
<em>Earth's gravity pulls air as close to the surface as possible. ... As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases—the air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level. This is what meteorologists and mountaineers mean by "thin air." Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude.</em>
Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration, therefore
F=ma
m=2569.6 kg
a=4.65m/s^2
therefore F=2569.6*4.65=11948.6 (correct to 1 d.p.)
Answer:
c. Sound travels slower than light.
Explanation:
We see any thing because of the light emitted or reflected by it. Whereas the sound is carried by the sound waves. The speed of light is more than the speed of sound. This is the reason the family saw the fireworks first and then heard the sound.
The same can be experienced during the sighting of a Jet plane or a rocket where, we see them way before we can hear the roaring sound of its engines.
