Answer:

C. Atoms

Explanation:

The basic unit of matter and the smallest, indivisible unit of a chemical element. It comprises a nucleus (neutrons + protons) that is surrounded by a cloud of electrons.

It's gravity I believe? I'm not entirely sure.

Kim throws a beach ball up in the air. It reaches its maximum height 0.50s later. We can ignore air resistance. What was the bea

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The beach ball's velocity at the moment it was tossed into the air is 4.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Given:

Time taken by the ball to reach maximum height is, $t=0.50\ s$

We know that, velocity of an object at the highest point is always zero. So, final velocity of the ball is, $v=0\ m/s$

Also, acceleration acting on the ball is always due to gravity. So, acceleration of the ball is, $a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2$

The negative sign is used as acceleration is a vector and it acts in the downward direction.

Now, we have the equation of motion relating initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and time given as:

$v=u+at$

Where, 'u' is the initial velocity.

Plug in the given values and solve for 'u'. This gives,

$0=u-9.8(0.5)\\u=9.8\times 0.5\\u=4.9\ m/s$

Therefore, the beach ball's velocity at the moment it was tossed into the air is 4.9 m/s

Every year _______ species go extinct. a. 3 b. 72 c. 1000 d. 20000

Tems11 [23]

Well, the thing is: we don't really know, as we don't even know how many species there are on earth.

If we take a look at the estimates of World Wide Fund for Nature, an organization that works toward combating species extinction, their estimates vary from 200 to 100 000 - but a probable number is 20 000 (d).

1. The following can be inferred from Newton’s second law of motion except:

lora16 [44]

Answer: 1.d) The acceleration of an object is always less than the acceleration due to gravity, g (9.81m/s^-2)

2.a)acceleration decreases

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is defined by two variables which is the total force acting on the object and the mass of that object. The acceleration is directly proportional to the net force that is applied on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of that object.

When the force applied on an object is increased so does the acceleration of an object however if the mass increase the acceleration decreases.

This can be felt when you look at the truck which usually carry heavy loads they seem to drive slow due to the load hence their acceleration is decreased by the mass that these truck carry .
