Answer: example 1: increase force applied to object. Example 2: Increase distance over which work applied. Example 3: Change direction of applied force.
Explanation:
Answer:
Mechanical waves- travel faster in solids & slowest in gases 2. Electromagnetic waves- travel fastest in empty space and slowest in solids.
Explanation:
Answer:
C) Initial velocity and angle
Explanation:
The path of the projectile motion is a parabolic path. The motion of a projectile motion is studied by splitting the motion into 2 mutually perpendicular components; one along the horizontal x axis and other vertical y axis.
The position of the projectile at any time
is given as:

Where,

From the above equations, we conclude that,
The projectile motion depends on two factors:
i. Initial velocity (
)
ii. Angle of projection (
)
Option C is correct.
Answer:
Approximately
, assuming that
and that air resistance is negligible.
Explanation:
If air resistance is negligible, the acceleration of this grapefruit during the fall would be constantly equal to
(gravitational field strength.)
- Let
denote the acceleration of this grapefruit. - Let
denote the duration of the fall. - Let
denote the initial velocity of this grapefruit (right before the fall started.)
Let
denote the distance that the grapefruit travelled during the fall. The following SUVAT equation gives an expression for
in terms of
,
, and
:
.
In this question, the grapefruit was initially on a tree. Hence, assume that the initially velocity of this grapefruit was
right before the fall started.
If there was no drag on the grapefruit during the fall, the acceleration of this grapefruit would be equal to the gravitational field strength:
.
The duration of the fall,
, has also been given. Hence, the distance that the grapefruit travelled during the fall would be:
.
