Answer:

Correct Answer: B.

Explanation:

Earth is nearest the Sun in January and farthest away in July. Explanation: According to Kepler's Second Law, a planet travels fastest when it is nearest its sun. This means that Earth is actually closest to the Sun in January, when it is winter in the northern hemisphere!

The relationship between an object's acceleration and its mass
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Newton's second law

Explanation:

The relationship between mass and acceleration is described in Newton's Second Law of Motion. His Second Law states that the more mass an object has, more force is necessary for it to accelerate.

A ball thrown horizontally at vi = 30.0 m/s travels a horizontal distance of d = 55.0 m before hitting the ground. from what hei
tekilochka [14]
Assume no air resistance, and g = 9.8 m/s².

Let
x =  angle that the initial velocity makes with the horizontal.
u = 30 cos(x), horizontal velocity
v = 30 sin(x), vertical launch velocity

The horizontal distance traveled is 55 m, therefore the time of flight is
t = 55/[30 cos(x)] = 1.8333 sec(x)  s

With regard to the vertical velocity, and the time of flight,obtain
[30 sin(x)]*(1.8333 sec(x)) + (1/2)*(-9.8)*(1.8333 sec(x))² = 0
 55 tan(x) - 16.469 sec²x = 0
55 tan(x) - 16.469[1 + tan²x] = 0
16.469 tan²x - 55 tan(x) + 16.469 = 0
tan²x - 3.3396 tan(x) + 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula.
tan(x) = 0.5[3.3396 +/- √(7.153)] = 3.007 or 0.3326
Therefore
x = 71.6° or x = 18.4°

The time of flight is
t = 1.8333 sec(x) = 5.8096 s or 1.932 s
The initial vertical velocity is
v = 30 sin(x) = 28.467 m/s or 9.468 m/s
The horizontal velocity is
u = 30 cos(x) = 9.467 m/s or 28.469 m/s

If t = 5.8096 s,
  u*t = 9.467*5.8096 = 55 m (Correct)
or
 u*t = 28.469*15.8096 = 165.4 m (Incorrect)

Therefore, reject x = 18.4°. The correct solution is
t = 5.8096 s
x = 71.6°
u = 9.467 m/s
v = 28.467 m/s

The height from which the ball was thrown is
h = 28.467*5.8096 - 0.5*9.8*5.8096² = -110.4 m
The ball was thrown from a height of 110.4 m

Answer: h = 110.4 m

describe an experiment to show how the frequency of a note emitted by a vibrating string depends on the tension of the string
mart [117]
Easy ! 

Take any musical instrument with strings ... a violin, a guitar, etc.

The length of the vibrating part of the strings doesn't change ...
it's the distance from the 'bridge' to the 'nut'.

Pluck any string.  Then, slightly twist the tuning peg for that string,
and pluck the string again.

Twisting the peg only changed the string's tension; the length
couldn't change.

-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
tighter, then your second pluck had a higher pitch than your first one.

-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
looser, then your second pluck had a lower pitch than the first one.
