Answer:

\large \boxed{\mathrm{B. \ Gravity \ and \ air \ resistance}}

Explanation:

Gravity and air resistance are the forces that get balanced out during a free fall. This is also known as terminal velocity, when gravity = air resistance.

Answer:

B. Gravity and air resistance

Explanation:

Experimentation has proven that :

When the parachute opens, air resistance becomes much greater than gravity. The forces are no longer balanced and this changes the

Rahul runs a distance of 12
Radda [10]

Answer:

Rita runs faster

Explanation:

To obtain the answer to the question given, we determine the speed of Rita. This can be obtained as follow:

Distance = 1.6 km

Time = 15 mins

Speed =?

Next, we shall convert 15 mins to hour. This can be obtained as follow:

60 mins = 1 h

Therefore,

15 mins = 15 mins × 1 h / 60 mins

15 mins = 0.25 h

Thus, 15 mins is equivalent to 0.25 h.

Finally, we shall determine speed of Rita as follow:

Distance = 1.6 km

Time = 0.25 h

Speed =?

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 1.6 / 0.25

Speed = 6.4 Km/h

Thus Rita's speed is 6.4 Km/h

Comparing the speed of Rahul and Rita

Rahul's speed = 4.5 km/h

Rita's speed = 6.4 Km/h

We can see that Rita's speed is greater than Rahul's speed. This simply indicates that Rita runs faster than Rahul.

Calculate the period of a satellite orbiting the Moon, 98 kmkm above the Moon's surface. Ignore effects of the Earth. The radius
beks73 [17]

Answer:

3.6*10^18s

Explanation:

To find the period of the satellite

We need to apply kephler's third law

Which is

MP² = (4π²/G) d³

d=semi-major axis which is the distance from center of moon = 98km+1740km = 1838km

where M= mass of the moon = 7.3x10^22kg

P=period

G=newtonian gravatational constant= 6.67x10^-11

To find the Period solve for P

P = √[(4π²/G M)xd³]

P=√(4 π²/6.67x10^-22*7.3x10^22kg) x (1.838x10^6m)³]

= 3.6*10^18s

A sport car moving at constant speed travels 110m in 5.0 s. if it then brakes and comes to a stop in 4.0 s, what is the magnitud
stiks02 [169]
D = 110 m,  t = 5 s
v o = 110 cs : 5 m = 22 m/s
-------------------------------------
v = v o - a t
v = 0 m/s,  v o =  22 m/s,  t = 4 s
0 = 22 - 4 a
4 a = 22
a = 22 : 4
a = 5.5 m/s²
g = 9.80 m/s²
9.80 : 5.5 = 0.56 
Answer:
The magnitude of its acceleration is 5.5 m/s or 0.56 g.
