C. mass. or b. weight. 
but the other comment said mass so I'm guessing mass.

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.

The entropy of an isolated system must be conserved, so it never changes.a. Trueb. Fasle
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

B: False

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that: the entropy of an isolated system will never decrease because isolated systems always tend to evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium which is a state with maximum entropy.

Thus, it means that the entropy change will always be positive.

Therefore, the given statement in the question is false.

What does the person in back of the ambulance experience? A) a lower frequency of the siren B) a lower amplitude of the siren C)
hoa [83]

The answer to your question is "A. a lower frequency of the siren.

Because the person in back of the ambulance will hear a lower frequency of the siren. This is because the waves are stretched out. A longer wavelength results in a lower frequency.

When two or more capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference:
34kurt

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the attached picture. Now

The total voltage across both capacitors is the same as the sum of the voltage from each device, that statement is true for any electrical device connected in series. So a) is TRUE

The equivalent capacitance is going to be: \frac{1}{C_{total}}=\frac{1}{C_1} +\frac{1}{C_2}

And that value can be mathematically proven that is always less than any of the values of each capacitor. So b is TRUE

And through both capacitors flow the same current, but the amount of charge depends on the value of the capacitors, so only could be the same if the capacitors are the same value. Otherwise, don't. C) not always, so FALSE

A sound wave travels in air toward the surface of a freshwater lake and enters into the water. The frequency of the sound does n
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of sound in air at 20⁰C is 343 m /s

velocity of sound in water at 20⁰C is 1481 m /s

The wavelength of the sound is 2.86 m in the air so its frequency

= 343 / 2.86 = 119.93 .

This frequency of  119.93 will remain unchanged in water .

wavelength in water = velocity in water / frequency

= 1481 / 119.93

= 12. 35 m .
