C. It is answered by observation and evidence.
Good scientific explanations are defined, measurable and controllable. They can be answered by an experiment.
During the falling down, two forces are present: gravitational force and air resistance.
So, the net force = mg - f = 12*9.8 - 27 = 90.6 N, the positive sign indicates the direction is pointing towards the center of the earth, which is the same as gravitational force
Jack Kilby invented the circuit
I haven't, but I'm sure @Porshia has!
