If a coin is dropped at a relatively low altitude, it's acceleration remains constant. However, if the coin is dropped at a very high altitude, air resistance will have a significant effect. The initial acceleration of the coin will be the greatest. As it falls down, air resistance will counteract the weight of the coin. So, the acceleration will decrease. Although the acceleration decreases, the coin still accelerates, that is why it falls faster. When the air resistance fully counters the weight of the coin, the acceleration will become zero and the coin will fall at a constant speed (terminal velocity). So, the answer should be, The acceleration decreases until it reaches 0. The closest answer is.
a. The acceleration decreases.

Answer:

The increase in speed leads to an increase in the amount of air resistance. Eventually, the force of air resistance becomes large enough to balances the force of gravity. At this instant in time, the net force is 0 Newton; the object will stop accelerating. The object is said to have reached a terminal velocity.

Kyle has a mass of 54kg and is moving at 3 m/s what is his kinetic energy
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

243J

Explanation:

K.E = 1/2 x 54 x 3^2

K.E = 1/2 x 54 x 9

K.E = 1/2 x 486

K.E = 486/2

K.E = 243J

Which of the following represents a fully plastic collision? 1. Two billiard balls hit each other then move in opposite directio
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

Perfectly elastic collision: the collision in which the momentum and kinetic energy is conserved. There is no loss of energy in other forms of energy.

Perfectly plastic collision: The collision in which the momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is not conserved. The two bodies stick after the collision.

Here, the bullet hits the block and then embedded in the block, it is the example of plastic collision.

How to calculate the slope of position time graph?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The slope of a position-time graph can be calculated as:

m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

where

\Delta y is the increment in the y-variable

\Delta x is the increment in the x-variable

We can verify that the slope of this graph is actually equal to the velocity. In fact:

\Delta y corresponds to the change in position, so it is the displacement, \Delta s

\Delta x corresponds to the change in time \Delta t, so the time interval

Therefore the slope of the graph is equal to

m=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

which corresponds to the definition of velocity.

Which of the following is a sample of igneous rock?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

I would say it's B. But just in case here is some information if I'm wrong.

Explanation:

Igneous rocks are very dense and hard. They may have a glassy apprearance. Metamorphic rocks may also have a glassy appearance. You can distinguish these from igneous rocks based on the fact that metamorphic rocks tend to be brittle, lightweight, and an opaque black color.

Hope this helps!
