The forces acting on a ball just after it's released from the thrower's hand is <u>gravity</u>.

<h3>What is a force?</h3>

A force refers to a push or pull of an object such as a ball, which typically results in a change of motion (acceleration), especially due to the interaction of the object with another.

<h3>What is gravity?</h3>

Gravity can be defined as a force of attraction that controls the movement of an object such as a ball and the planets around the Sun.

In this scenario, the forces acting on a ball just after it's released from the thrower's hand is a force of <u>gravity</u> or gravitational force since it was thrown horizontally.

A small branch is wedged under a 200 kg rock and rests on a smaller object. The smaller object is 2.0 m from the large rock and
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

a

  F  =326.7 \ N

b

  M  = 6

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

          The mass of the rock is  m_r  =  200 \ kg

          The  length of the small object from the rock is  d  =  2 \ m

          The  length of the small object from the branch l  =  12 \ m

An image representing this lever set-up is shown on the first uploaded image

Here the small object acts as a fulcrum

The  force exerted by the weight of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

      W =  m_r *  g

substituting values

     W =   200 *  9.8

     W =   1960 \ N

 So  at  equilibrium the sum  of the moment about the fulcrum is mathematically represented as

         \sum  M_f  =  F * cos \theta *  l  -  W cos\theta  *  d =  0

Here  \theta is very small so  cos\theta  *  l  =  l

                               and  cos\theta  *  d  =  d

Hence

       F *   l  -  W  * d =  0

=>    F  = \frac{W * d}{l}

substituting values

        F  = \frac{1960 *  2}{12}

       F  =326.7 \ N

The  mechanical advantage is mathematically evaluated as

          M  = \frac{W}{F}

substituting values

        M  = \frac{1960}{326.7}

       M  = 6

Which satellite has the greatest gravitational force with Earth?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Satellite D has a mass (kg) of 500 and the distance from Earth (km) is 320.

Explanation:

The universal law of gravitation states that the force between two objects in the universe is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

We have to choose the satellite having greatest gravitational force with earth. In all options the distance from the earth is same i.e. 320 km. So, we have to select the satellite having maximum mass because the mass of the earth is constant.

Hence, the correct option is (D) " Satellite D has a mass (kg) of 500 and the distance from Earth (km) is 320 ".

Which of the following is not true about of the use of MRI in medicine?
omeli [17]

Answer:

3) False. It is expensive since it requires sophisticated equipment and very low temperatures

Explanation:

Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging measurements consist of magnetic resonance imaging to analyze tissues by the transition of the unpaired electron at carbon 13, giving information on the structure and composition of tissues. This information is processed in computers and transformed into images.

So the physical measurement is the MRN

Now we can analyze the statements in the problem

1) True by itself a magnetic measurement is non-invasive

2) True. Measuring carbon transitions has information about the soft tissue of the body

3) False. It is expensive since it requires sophisticated equipment and very low temperatures

4) Right. The applied magnetic field is high to be able to induce carbon transaction
