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.

Would time travel ever be possible? If so how and through what extensive process would it might be possible.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

There are two ways we may, one day, be able to time travel forwards.

You may have heard of Cryogenics. This is when someone who’s died is frozen instead of being buried or cremated. The theory is they can be “woken up” in the future when we have the technology to bring them back to life. Or a machine or device could be developed so that some people age more slowly than others around them. This way they’d live longer and see a future beyond the average person’s life span.

Another very different way of travelling into the future is more like what you’d see in science fiction. This is might involve travelling in a rocket or spaceship at a very high speed, close to the speed of light. “We can’t establish equality with the speed of light but it is possible, in theory, to travel nearly as fast as the speed of light,” adds Dr Steane.

So imagine you’re in a spaceship travelling very fast away from the Earth and you stay in orbit for a year. You would age at the same rate as if you were still on the Earth, by a year, but when you returned, the earth may have aged hundreds of years. “This is way beyond the technology we have at the moment,” he says. “But... in theory, it is possible.”

Your spaceship lands on an unknown planet. to determine the characteristics of this planet, you drop a 1.50 kg wrench from 5.50

Vesnalui [34]

1. calculate the value of acceleration that objects gains in that period of time
•calculating acceleration
5.50 = 1/2at^2
5.50*2/t^2 = a
11.00/0.657 = a
16.74=a
now you got the acceleration
2. you have laws of gravitation for that

g = Gm/r^2
where g is the acceleration value
16.74 = 6.754*10^-11 × m/ 6.28*10^4
105.14*10^4 /6.754*10-11 = m
15.567*10^15 = m
that would be the mass of the planet ...

A golf club rotates 215 degrees and has a length (radius) equal to 29 inches. The time it took to swing the club was 0.8 seconds

vichka [17]

Answer:

The average linear velocity (inches/second) of the golf club is 136.01 inches/second

Explanation:

Given;

length of the club, L = 29 inches

rotation angle, θ = 215⁰

time of motion, t = 0.8 s

The angular speed of the club is calculated as follows;

$\omega = (\frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi, \ rad) \times \frac{1}{t} \\\\\omega = (\frac{215}{360} \times 2\pi, \ rad) \times \frac{1}{0.8 \ s} \\\\\omega = 4.69 \ rad/s$
