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.

Answer:

Explanation:

3. The word circuit means "go around", therefore a circuit is a pathway or closed path around which electricity (or water) flows.

4. Electrons flowing through a wire can be compared to water flowing through a hose. Once the flow of electrons or water is going, work, is performed.

5. You would get shocked in a bumper car by touching the floor and the ceiling at the same time. This means you are completing the circuit allowing electricity to flow.

6. Electricity from a wall outlet has enough energy to stop your heart.

7. Electricity is the flow of electrons, because electrons move or jump from atom to atom.

8. Materials that allow electrons to move easily from atom to atom are called conductors.

9. Materials that do not allow electrons to flow easily are called insulators.

10. Semi- conductors are materials that are somewhere in between .

11. Voltage is the force or pressure of electricity and is compared to the amount of water pressure in a hose.

12. Current (amps ) is the amount of electricity and is compared to the amount of water in a hose .

13. Watts (power) is the term for work performed by electricity.

Point P is on the rim of a wheel of radius 2.0 m. At time t = 0, the wheel is at rest, and P is on the x-axis. The wheel undergo

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

e). $a = 0.066 m/s^2$

Explanation:

As we know that wheel is turned by 90 degree angle

so the angular speed of the wheel is given as

$\omega_f^2 - \omega_i^2 = 2\alpha \theta$

now we have

$\omega_f^2 - 0 = 2(0.01)(\frac{\pi}{2})$

$\omega = 0.177 rad/s$

now the centripetal acceleration of the point P is given as

$a_c = \omega^2 R$

$a_c = (0.177)^2(2)$

$a_c = 0.063 m/s^2$

tangential acceleration is given as

$a_t = R\alpha$

$a_t = 2(0.01)$

$a_t = 0.02 m/s^2$

now net acceleration is given as

$a = \sqrt{a_t^2 + a_c^2}$

$a = \sqrt{0.02^2 + 0.063^2}$

$a = 0.066 m/s^2$

What is the relationship between lightning and thunder

PtichkaEL [24]

Whenever lightning strikes it separates the air where it goes. This air then rushes back together making a loud noise when it connects, creating thunder.
