Answer:IU (international unit): An international unit (IU) is an internationally accepted amount of a substance.

This type of measure is used for the fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins AD and E) and certain hormones, enzymes, and biologicals (such as vaccines).

rjkz [21]

Answer:

The motion of the ball relative to the ground is stationary

The motion of the ball relative to the wagon is backwards

Explanation:

To describe the motion of the ball relative to the ground, we note that

Assuming the ball is perfectly round and rotate freely, then we have

Force on the ball due to motion of the wagon = 0 N,

Then by the law of motion, an object will remain at rest when no force is applied to it

Therefore, apart from rotation of the ball, it will remain no displacement relative to the ground.

The motion of the ball relative to the wagon

Relative to the wagon, the ball appears to be moving in the opposite direction to the wagon, that is backwards.

Answer:

B) Because the Space Station is constantly in free-fall around the Earth.

Explanation:

Anything that is falling experiences an upward force on them. For example when a person is going down in a lift they will experience something that is pushing them upwards. This happens due to the fact that the total acceleration the body is feeling is less than the acceleration due to graviity.

The force on a body which is falling is

$F=m(g-a)$

Where,

m = Mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity

a = acceleration the object is experiencing.

a = g. So, the force becomes zero and the object experiences weightlessness.

Hence, the astronauts in the space station experience weightlessness due to fact that the Space Station is constantly in free-fall around the Earth.
