The reaction force in this situation occur once it hits the ground, and normal force from Earth's surface will push up on the ball with 1.4 N.

<em>The correct answer is option (</em><em>C</em><em>) </em>

<h3>What is Newton's third law of motion?</h3>

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction.

Mathematically, this law is given as;

Fa = Fb

where;

  • Fa is the force applied by object A
  • Fb is the reaction experienced by object B

The force applied by object is equal and opposite the reaction experienced by object B.

When an object placed on the floor, the weight of the object acts downward while the normal reaction of the object acts upwards.

Thus, if you drop a baseball and let it fall, gravity from Earth pulls down on the baseball with 1.4 N of force, the reaction force will occur once it hits the ground, as the normal force from Earth's surface will push up on the ball with 1.4 N.

How was the speed of light determined
goblinko [34]
Presently, the speed of light in a vacuum is defined to be exactly 299,792,458 m/s (approximately 186,282 miles per second). . An early experiment to measure the speed of light was conducted by Ole Romer, a Danish physicist, in 1676. Using a telescope, Ole observed the motions of Jupiter and one of its moons, Io

A source emits sound with a frequency of 860 Hz. It is moving at 20.0 m/s toward a stationary reflecting wall. If the speed of s
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

f_o=860\ Hz

Explanation:

Given:

  • original frequency of sound wave, f=860\ Hz
  • speed of the sound source, v_s=20\ m.s^{-1}
  • original speed of sound wave from the source, s=343\ m.s^{-1}

<u>According to the Doppler's effect:</u>

\frac{f_s}{f_o} =\frac{s+v_s}{s-v_o}

The sound is reflected from the wall and the source is moving towards the wall and observer is also riding the same source.

The velocity of the observer, v_o=-20\ m.s^{-1}

\frac{860}{f_o} =\frac{s+20}{s-(-20)}

f_o=860\ Hz

A.cooler and hotter rock rise but do not sink.

B.hotter and cooler rock sink but do not rise.

C.hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

D.cooler rock rises and hotter rock sinks.

hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The process that happens inside the surface of earth makes the rocks inside the surface to either expand or shrink in size because of the presence of heat inside the surface.

Heat rises and as the warmer rock gets further away from the super heated center of the Earth it begins to cool off and starts to sink back toward the super heated center of the Earth where it is reheated and the whole process starts over again. That is what a convection current is.
