Answer: The package appears to fall straight downward

Explanation:

When the package is dropped from the plane (which has constant speed) it will follow a parabolic path. Then, as the plane and the package have the same constant speed in the horizontal component (X component of the movement) and a constant vertical acceleration due gravity, from the plane the package will always be seen below it, falling straight downward (free fall).

This is possible if it is assumed that there are no additional horizontal forces such as air resistance, thus fulfilling Newton's 1st Law of inertia that estates if a body is in equilibrium the sum of all the forces acting on it is equal to zero.

Briefly describe the formation of the planets from the solar nebula
saul85 [17]
<span>The formation of the Solar System began 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a proto-planetary disk out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed.

If a 400-mm diameter pipe with a pipe roughness coefficient of 100 flows full of pressurized water with a head loss of 0.4 ft pe
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Q = 913.9 gpm

Explanation:

The Hazen Williams equation can be written as follows:

P = \frac{4.52\ Q^{1.85}}{C^{1.85}d^{4.87}}

where,

P = Friction Loss per foot of pipe = \frac{0.4}{1000\ ft} = 4 x 10⁻⁴

Q = Flow Rate in gallon/min (gpm) = ?

d = pipe diameter in inches = (400 mm)(0.0393701 in/1 mm) = 15.75 in

C = roughness coefficient = 100

Therefore,

4\ x \ 10^{-4} = \frac{4.52\ Q^{1.85}}{(100)^{1.85}(15.75)^{4.87}}\\\\Q^{1.85} = \frac{4\ x \ 10^{-4}}{1.33\ x\ 10^{-9}} \\\\Q = (300384.75)^\frac{1}{1.85}

<u>Q = 913.9 gpm</u>

Science not has only achievements but also challenges justify with an example
statuscvo [17]
For example science has discovered many amazing things like atoms,molecules which led to the development of nuclear reactors etc. Challenges would be like trying to prove theories like evolution for 100 of years trying to discover all the stuff we still don’t know exists all the mysteries of life. A lot of science is still theory we can’t prove some things until we have more advanced technology etc.

Luigi twirls a round piece of pizza dough overhead with a frequency of
viva [34]

The linear speed of the pepperoni is 0.628 m/s. Its direction is tangential to the circle.

We know that;

v = rω

r = radius of the piece = 10 cm or 0.1 m

ω = angular velocity

We have to convert 60 revolutions per minute to radians per second

1 rev/min = 0.10472 rad/s

60 revolutions per minute = 60 rev/min × 0.10472 rad/s/1 rev/min

= 6.28 rad/s

v =  0.1 m ×  6.28 rad/s

v = 0.628 m/s

The direction of this velocity is tangential to the circle.
