Answer:

Velocity and speed both are continuously increasing.

Acceleration is constant.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as length of path covered by a body per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity that consist of magnitude only and not direction.

Velocity is defined as the displacement per unit times. Displacement is the shortest distance between the two points. It is a vector quantity and  hence has a direction in the direction of displacement along with its own magnitude.

  • Both velocity and speed have same unit of measure which is meter per second in S.I. During <em>free fall</em> in the absence of any air resistance the velocity and speed both will be having a vertical downward direction with continuously increasing magnitude. Tough we are not concerned about the direction when discussing about speed but here both are equal since the motion is linear.

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of a body which is a vector quantity. For speed we are concerned about instantaneous acceleration since for a short period of time it may have a specific direction.

  • During free fall the acceleration is of a body is equal to the acceleration due to gravity and constant when the height of fall is much lesser than the radius of the earth.

Beams used in Heavy Timber construction are sometimes firecut. This is done to: a) allow air circulation at the beam’s end in an
ladessa [460]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

Fire cut of fireman cut is diagonal cut which is provided at the end of the beam to prevent the fall of masonry wall if a fire breaks out in the building.

Fire cut allows joist to leave if it fails without affecting the masonry wall standing.

Without fire cut, the burnt beam will rotate downward affecting the connection of beam and wall and leading to damage it.

Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere by a two-step reaction:
Sladkaya [172]
Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere where the reactions involving bromine, chlorine, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen gases form compounds that destroy the ozone layer. The reactions uses a catalyst (speeds up the reaction) in a two step reaction. considering chlorine the reactions appears as follows;
step 1
 Cl + O3 = ClO + O2 
 step 2
ClO + O = Cl + O2 
Where by chlorine is released to destroy the ozone layer, this takes place many times even with the other elements (hydrogen, bromine, nitrogen) and the end result is a completely destroyed Ozone layer

Three cars (car F, car G, and car H) are moving with the same velocity when the driver suddenly slams on the brakes, locking the
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Car H

Explanation:

Frictional force is a resistant force. It is given as:

F = u*m*g

Where u = coefficient of friction

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

From the formula above, we see that frictional force is dependent on the mass of object and the coefficient of friction.

Since they all have the same tires, the coefficient of friction between the tire and the floor is the same for each car. Acceleration due to gravity, g, is constant.

The only factor that determines the frictional force of each car is the mass. Hence, the more the mass, the more the frictional force.

So, the most massive car will have the most frictional force and hence, will come to a stop quicker than the others. The least massive car will have the least frictional force and so, will take a longer time to stop.
