-- Light travels straight, not around in a circle. But if it did, it would cover
a distance equal to the length of the equator in about <em>0.13 second</em>.
-- At the speed of sound (in air at standard temperature and pressure),
it would take about <em>32.6 hours </em>to cover the same distance.
D) the mass of the star is the correct answer.
x(2) = 30(2) = 60 m
y(2) = ½(-9.8)2² = -19.6 m
x(4) = 30(4) = 120 m
y(4) = ½(-9.8)4² = -78.4 m
x(6) = 30(6) = 180 m
y(6) = ½(-9.8)6² = -176.4 m
x(8) = 30(8) = 240 m
y(8) = ½(-9.8)8² = -313.6 m
x(10) = 30(10) = 300 m
y(10) = ½(-9.8)10² = -490 m
Earth pulls the moon towards it using gravitational pull/attraction, (because of the moons velocity it didn't crash into earth.)
