<span>The answer is letter D.
The most important step in formulation a scientific inquiry is to first formulate a question. All answers sprung from a question that scratched the mind. Experimentation is not possible without the need to question, with this, the drive to find the answers is what motivates scientists or people involved in an experiment to find the answers that would suffice their curiosity. Questions are the basis of all the other choices above and is the most crucial step in the scientific inquiry.<span>

Answer:
the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward, and the force of gravity acting on the ball is directed downward
Explanation:
Is this exercise in kinematics
v = v₀ - g t
where g is the acceleration of the ball, which is created by the attraction of the ball to the Earth.
At the highest point
velocity must be zero.
The acceleration depends on the Earth therefore it is constant at this point and with a downward direction.
The force of the earth on the ball is towards the center of the Earth, that is, down
all other alternatives are wrong
The deceleration experienced by the gymnast is the 9 times of the acceleration due to gravity.
Now from Newton`s first law, the net force on gymnast,

Here, W is the weight of the gymnast and a is the acceleration experienced by the gymnast (
acceleration due to gravity)
Therefore,
OR 
Given
and
Substituting these values in above formula and calculate the force exerted by the gymnast,


<span>This is best understood with Newtons Third Law of Motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. That should allow you to see the answer.</span>
Explanation:
Given that,
Wavelength of the light, 
(a) Slit width, 
The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :



(b) Slit width, 
The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :



Hence, this is the required solution.
