You might have noticed that a feather falls slowly toward the ground, while a ball falls rapidly. Which statement correctly explains the motion of these objects? 1. The ball does not experience fluid friction as it falls.
2. Gravity is the only force acting on the feather and the ball.
3.The acceleration of the ball and feather are the same.
4. The feather experiences more fluid friction than the ball.

4. the feather experiences more fluid friction than the ball

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

i think it would be 5
