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:

force F = 1.66 × $10^{-13}$ N

Explanation:

given data

proton and an electron = 865 nm

solution

we get here force that is express as

force F = k q1 q2 ÷ r² ......................1

put here value and we get

force F = 9 × $10^{9}$ × $\frac{1.6\times (10^{-19})^{2}}{865 \times (10^{-9})^{2}}$

force F = 1.66 × $10^{-13}$ N

A ball was dropped from a height of 10 feet. Each time it hits the ground, it bounces 4/5 of its previous height. Find the total

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

d = 90 ft

Explanation:

As we know that after each bounce it reaches to 4/5 times of initial height

so we can say

$h_2 = \frac{4}{5}h$

so the distance covered is given as

$d = h + 2(\frac{4}{5}h) + 2(\frac{4}{5})^2h + 2(\frac{4}{5})^3h........$

here we know that

h = 10 feet

$d = h + 2(\frac{4}{5}h)(1 + \frac{4}{5} + (\frac{4}{5})^2 + ...........)$

$d = 10 + 2(\frac{4}{5}(10))(\frac{1}{1 - \frac{4}{5}})$

$d = 90 ft$

According to the text, there is no energy shortage now, nor will there ever be. what reason (s) is given to support this stateme

Bas_tet [7]

The reason why there is no energy shortage nor will there ever be is because energy is being preserved and conserved and only changes form. It never gets lost or increased.
