Answer:

Because in correspondence to the same distance from a mass, the gravitational acceleration is the same for all the bodies. It doesn't depend on the mass of the objects.

a marine biologist wants to know the total vertical distance a dolphin travel during a jump with the surface of the water being
marin [14]

From the starting depth to the surface, the vertical distance is 35 ft.

From the surface to the peak of the jump, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

From the peak of the jump to the surface, the vertical distance is 27 ft.

From the surface to the ending depth, the vertical distance is 18 ft.

Then the total vertical distance is ...

  35 ft + 27 ft + 27 ft + 18 ft = 107 ft

Levart [38]
<span>The apartment’s explosion, reportedly caused by a gas leak, produced a violent release of gas and heat. the heat increased the temperature of the air in the room, which means an increase in the air's molecular kinetic energy.

When heat leaves a system, that energy is transferred to its surroundings. Since the air is the surroundings, the heat is transferred to the air increasing the temperature. This causes an increase in the individual air molecules' energy.</span>

How long can you keep open beer in the fridge?
Gre4nikov [31]
You can keep it for as long as you want; you're the boss of your fridge. 
But anyway, an open beer bottle can stay good in the fridge for up to 96 hours, probably more.

Scouts at a camp shake the rope bridge they have just crossed and observe the wave crests to be 5.85 m apart. If they shake the
quester [9]

Answer:

17.55 m/s

Explanation:

The number of times a wave will pass through a particular point is called frequency so, here the frequency is 3 Hz = f

The distance which is measured between two troughs or crests in a wave is called wavelength so, here the wavelength is 5.85 m = \lambda

Velocity is given by

v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow v=3\times 5.85\\\Rightarrow v=17.55\ m/s

The propagation speed of the waves is 17.55 m/s
