A boy is standing motionless on a skateboard. He throws a basketball forward. Describe his motion.

Physics

Answer:

Random motion

Explanation:

If the boy throws the basketball forward while at a position on the skateboard, the motion of the ball will be a random motion since we are not told if the ball is moving on a straight line when thrown forward.

In this case, the boy will tend to move in the direction of the ball. Since the ball is moving in a random manner, the motion of the boy will also be a random motion.

A random motion is a motion of a body in a zig zag manner. It is also known as Brownian motion e.g motion of a buzzing mosquito, motion of a smoke coming out of a chimney etc.

If your weight is force created by gravity on your body, and therefore is the Earth pulling you down, what is the reaction force
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The reaction force is the force exerted by your body on the earth pulling upwards.

Explanation:

This can be explained using Newton's third law of motion which states that if object A exerts  a force on object B, object B exerts a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction on object A. One characteristics of these force are that they act o 2 different bodies. In this example, the earth exerts a force on you. The Newton's reaction force would be you exerting a force of equal magnitude on the earth.

How is the voltage V across the resistor related to the current I and the resistance R of the resistor? (Use I for current and R
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

This relationship is explained by Ohm's law

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that the current flowing through a circuit or a resistor is directly proportional to the voltage across the resistor and inversely proportional to the resistance. Where current is i, voltage is v and resistance is r, Ohm's law can be represented mathematically as

V= IR

2. The components of vector A are given as follows:
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

50 degree.

Explanation:

Given that the components of vector A are given as follows: Ax = 5.6 Ay = -4.7

The angle between vector A and B in the positive direction of x-axis will be achieved by using the formula:

Tan Ø = Ay/Ax

Substitute Ay and Ax into the formula above.

Tan Ø = -4.7 / 5.6

Tan Ø = -0.839

Ø = tan^-1(-0. 839)

Ø = - 40 degree

Therefore, the angle between vector A and B positive direction of x-axis will be

90 - 40 = 50 degree.
