A) the universe is expanding
Every galaxy is moving away from each other - not just us. And the further they are away, the faster they are moving

Answer from: Quest

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.

Answer from: Quest

we have been given a quadratic function $f(x)=(x-5)^{2} +2$ and we need to restrict the domain such that it becomes a one to one function.

we know that vertex of this quadratic function occurs at (5,2).

further, we know that range of this function is $[2,\infty)$ .

if we restrict the domain of this function to either $(-\infty,5]$ or $[5,\infty)$ , it will become one to one function.

let us know find its inverse.

$y=(x-5)^{2}+2$

upon interchanging x and y, we get:

$x=(y-5)^{2}+2$

let us now solve this function for y.

$(y-5)^{2}=x-2\\ y-5=\pm \sqrt{x-2}\\ y=5\pm \sqrt{x-2}\\$

hence, the inverse function would be $f^{-1}(x)=5+\sqrt{x-2}$ if we restrict the domain of original function to $[5,\infty)$ and the inverse function would be $f^{-1}(x)=5-\sqrt{x-2}$ if we restrict the domain to $(-\infty,5]$ .

Aspring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. the spring has a constant k = 30 kn/m and is held by cables so that it is initially compressed 50 mm. knowing that the velocity of the package is 2 m/s when it is 8 m from the spring and neglecting friction, determine the maximum additional deformation of the spring in bringing the package to rest.

1. what is the relationship between wavelength and the penetrating power of an electromagnetic wave? a) the penetrating power has no relationship to the wavelength. b) the penetrating power increases as the wavelength increases. c) the penetrating power decreases as the wavelength increases. d) the penetrating power decreases as the wavelength decreases. 2. as ice melts and turns into water, the speed of sound through the material would most likely do what? justify your answer. a) the speed would not change because the material is always water. b) the speed of sound would increase because the density of water is less than that of ice. c) the speed of sound would increase because energy is added to ice in order to make it melt. d) the speed of sound would decrease because sound travels faster through solids than liquids. 3.which of these waves need a medium to travel through? a) sound b) x-rays c) infrared rays d) visible light

Amajor impediment to wide acceptance of electric vehicles even on the part of people who use their cars almost exclusively for commuting is the inability to use their electric vehicles for occasional extended trips. in an attempt to make purchasing electric vehicles more attractive to commuters, one electric vehicle producer is planning to offer customers three days free rental of a conventional car for every 1,000 miles that they drive their electric vehicle. which of the following, if true, most threatens the plan's prospects for success? (a) many electric vehicles that are used for commercial purposes are not needed for extended trips. (b) because a majority of commuters drive at least 100 miles a week, the cost to the producer of making good the offer would add considerably to the already high price of electric vehicles. (c) the relatively long time it takes to recharge the battery of an electric vehicle can easily be fitted into the regular patterns of car use characteristic of commuters. (d) although electric vehicles are essentially emission-free in actual use, generating the electricity necessary for charging an electric vehicle's battery can burden the environment. (e) some family vehicles are used primarily not for commuting but for making short local trips, such as to do errands.
