When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls
Answer:
B) Friction
Explanation:
Friction is a force that acts when an object is sliding along a surface. Microscopically, this force is due to the fact that the two surfaces are not perfectly smooth, but they have "imperfections" that cause a force that opposes the motion of the object.
For an object sliding on a flat surface, the force of friction has magnitude:

where
is the coefficient of kinetic friction
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration of gravity
The direction of the force of friction is always opposite to the direction of motion of the object.
In reality, friction also acts if the object is at rest and it is pushed by a force; in this case, we talk about static friction, and its magnitude is

where
is called coefficient of static friction, and it is generally larger than the coefficient of kinetic friction.
Answer:
The components of the moving frame is (8.07c, -2, 3, 9.493)
Solution:
As per the question:
Velocity of moving frame w.r.t original frame
0.85c
Point 'a' of an event in one reference frame corresponds to the (x, y, z, t) coordinates of the plane
a = (0, - 2, 3, 5)
Now, according the the question, the coordinates of moving frame, say (X, Y, Z, t'):
New coordinates are given by:
X = 
X = 
X = 
Now,
Y = y = - 2
Z = z = 3
Now,


Answer:
20cm
Explanation:
A convex lens has a positive focal length and the object placed in front of it produce both virtual and real image <em>(image distance can be negative or positive depending on the nature of the image</em>).
According to the lens equation
where;
f is the focal length of the lens
u is the object distance
v is the image distance
If the magnification is - 0.6
mag = v/u = -0.5
v = -0.5u
since v = 10cm
10 = -0.5u
u = -10/0.5
u =-20 cm
Substitute u = -20cm ( due to negative magnification)and v = 10cm into the lens formula to get the focal length f

Hence the focal length of the convex lens is 20cm
