Why did Emily Dickinson write poetry

Emily Dickinson wrote poetry to express her feelings about the outside world.

The shortest path from a starting point to an endpoint regardless of the path taken is called the

resultant displacement

When can the equations of kinematics not be used

Equations of kinematics or equations of motion can not be used when the body is not accelerating or is moving with a constant velocity.

What name is given to the rate at which velocity changes

acceleration

If you divide a speed in miles per minute by 60 you get the same speed expressed in miles per

second

A natural force of attraction exerted by the earth upon objects that pulls objects towards earth's center is called

Gravity

Given no air resistance all objects near the Earth's surface regardless of size and weight fall with the same acceleration because of gravity

Yes, that's correct.

Why is a sheet of paper falls slowly than crumples one

Because the flat sheet of paper has greater air resistance

Velocity can be defined as what in a given direction

Velocity is speed in a given direction.

As the space shuttle orbits the Earth the shuttle and the astronauts accelerate towards the Earth with the same acceleration What effect does this create

Weightlessness

What three very different sizes and weights are dropped off a tower on the moon Which factor of the objects will determine which hits the ground first

Assuming that each object is held with its center of gravity at the same height, and that each is dropped cleanly, with no rotation induced, the one whose lowest part is closest to the ground when dropped will hit first.

The acceleration of gravity means that for each second that passes falling objects move 98 meters

No, that's not correct.

The acceleration of gravity means that for each second that passes, falling objects fall

at a speed that's 9.8 meters per second fasterthan it was one second earlier.

What makes a hypothesis scientific or not

Hypotheses are not specifically scientific; they are just postulates. For example, "God exists" is a hypothesis, just as much as any 'scientific' hypothesis is.

However, a "scientific" hypothesis would be considered one which is based on science and can be falsified or supported by evidence therein.

All digits shown on the measuring device plus one estimated digit are consider

significant digits.

for short they are called "sig. figs."

What shape cannot be made by folding one sheet of paper

a cicrle can not be made by foling one sheet of paper . u would have to ball the paper up to get a cicrle

All objects near the earth surface regardless of size and weight have the same force of gravity acting on them

False

Whih of the following is not a reason why gravity is important in our lives

It keeps water molecules together in a cup.

Blank Is a process prompted by a question.

Giving an answer is likely the process that is prompted by a question.

Which of the following can be used to explain a statement in a geometric proof Check all that apply

Corollary.

Theorem.

Definition.

Postulate.

Which of the following phrases is the best definition of the world map
