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.

Help pleasee

agasfer [191]

Answer:

i/f = i/o + i/i f = focal, o = object, i = image

1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o = (o - f) / o f

i = o * f / ( o - f) image distance

i = 12.5 * 22 / (12.5 - 22) = -28.9 cm

Image is real

Image is 28.9 cm to left of lens

M = - i / o = = 28.9 / 12.5 = 2.3 magnification (convex lens)

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 2.59 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire a

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Tangential speed=5.4 m/s

Radial acceleration= $88.6m/s^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Angular speed=2.59 rev/s

We know that

1 revolution= $2\pi rad$

2.59 rev= $2\pi\times 2.59=5.18\pi=5.18\times 3.14=16.27 rad/s$

By using $\pi=3.14$

Angular velocity= $\omega=16.27rad/s$

Distance from axis=r=0.329 m

Tangential speed= $r\omega=16.27\times 0.329=5.4m/s$

Radial acceleration= $\frac{v^2}{r}$

Radial acceleration= $\frac{(5.4)^2}{0.329}=88.6m/s^2$

An AC adapter for a telephone answering machine uses a transformer to reduce the line voltage of 120 V to a voltage of 5.00 V. T

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial voltage, $V_1=120 V$

Final voltage, $V_2=5 V$

Number of tuns in primary coil of the transformer, $N_p=840$

Rms current, $I_{rms}=580mA=580\times 10^{-3} A$

$1 mA=10^{-3} A$

We have to find the number of turns are there on the secondary coil.

We know that

$\frac{N_s}{N_p}=\frac{V_2}{V_1}$

Using the formula

$\frac{N_s}{840}=\frac{5}{120}$

$N_s=\frac{5}{120}\times 840=35$

Hence, there are number of turns on the secondary coil=35

If you throw a raw egg against a wall, you'll break it, but if you throw it with the same speed into a sagging sheet it won't br

SashulF [63]

<span>The egg doesn't break when it hits the sheet because the impact time is longer. Momentum means the egg is slowed rather than coming to an abrubt halt. The softer the object that the egg hits, the longer the time it takes to break. A sheet is so soft that the force is never high enough for the egg to break.</span>
