Answer:

Anna is correct.

Explanation:

Anna is right as a satellite is in free fall because it keeps falling toward Earth, meaning that gravity is the only force acting on it. Tom is incorrect because an object does not have to accelerate at a certain speed to be considered to be in free fall. As long as gravity is the only force acting upon the object, it is considered to be in free fall.

Depending on circumstances, there are times when divers may wish to be positively, negatively or neutrally buoyant. True. False.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Buoyancy is the most important factors for divers. All they do underwater is to observe the life down there but they also have some other work. However, divers may want to be negatively buoyant when they want to go on deep exploration. When they reach a destination, they may want to observe and neutral buoyancy then will be useful. When they want to go back on surface, they’ll utilize positive buoyancy.

For a sound coming from a point source, the amplitude of the sound is inversely
gayaneshka [121]

Answer ) Sound level equation

The intensity of a sound wave is related to its amplitude squared by the following relationship: I=(Δp)22ρvw I = ( Δ p ) 2 2 ρ v w . Here Δp is the pressure variation or pressure amplitude (half the difference between the maximum and minimum pressure in the sound wave) in units of pascals (Pa) or N/m2.
