Option C. Weight, Friction are the vertical forces that act on the leaf falling.

<h3>What are vertical forces?</h3>

These are forces that act in the vertical plane, which is perpendicular to the ground. There are at least two vertical forces acting. Gravitational force is provided by the earth and always acts downwards.

The weight, W (force) acting on the leaf is as a result of the product of the mass(m) of the leaf and the acceleration due to gravity (g).

Mathematically; W = mg

Friction in the form of air resistance also try to stop or reduce this acceleration due to gravity (g) on the falling leaf and it acts upwards.

In conclusion, Weight and Friction (air resistance) are the two vertical forces acting on a falling leaf.

Answer:

The cup with 0.5L

Explanation:

To know what amount of water you take into account the specific heat of the water. The specific heat of water is:

$c_{water}=4186\frac{J}{kg\°C}$

Thus, 4186 J of energy are needed to icrease the temperature of 1 kg water in 1°C. Then, more grams of water will need more energy.

You have that one cup has 0.5 L and the other one has 750mL = 0.75L

The second cup of water will need more heat because the amount of water contained in the second cup is greater than in the first cup with 0.5L

Answer: the magnetic wave will travel out of the screen.

Explanation:

Electric field direction is perpendicular to the magnetic field direction. Both are also perpendicular to the direction of the particles.

Using right hand rule to solve this problem,

This pointed finger depicts the electric field direction which the curly fingers depict the direction of the magnetic field. The pointed thumb will depict the direction in which the wave travel. Which is out of the screen.
