Answer:

4. Parabola

Explanation:

The motion of the flight of the grenade is a projectile motion, it's shape is best illustrated using a parabolic diagram.

It's not a circle as the path is not totally round.

It's not an ellipse as the path of motion is not a a completely bounded shape.

Its not a hyperbola as a hyperbola is an open curve with two branches.

Its a parabolic shape because a parabola has just one branch

As you move away from a positive charge distribution, the electric field:
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The electric field always decreases.

Explanation:

The electric field due to a point charge is given by :

E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}

Where

k = electric constant

q = charge

r = distance from the charge

It is clear from the above equation that as the distance from the charge particle increases the electric field decreases. As you move away from a positive charge distribution, the electric field always decreases. Hence, the correct option is (c) "Always decreases".

BlackZzzverrR [31]
An exfoliation dome is a geological structure wherein it is primarily when the overburden of a surface gets removed by erosion, thus leading to rock relaxation. In addition, the term would be best applied to the national landmark of Yosemite National Park wherein the place has one of the best waterfalls in California.

You throw a rock horizontally out of a 7th story window. You time that it takes 3.7 seconds to hit the ground, and measure that
Nady [450]
Since we are only looking at the vertical height, we can use the free fall equation to find the height:
h = 0.5*g*t^2, where h is height in m, g is acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2), and t is time in seconds
h = 0.5*(9.81 m/s^2)*(3.7 s)^2
h = 67.15 m
Therefore, the 7th floor window is 67.15 m above ground level.
