Answer:

The force of gravity on the object decreases. (FALSE)

The potential energy of the object decreases. (TRUE)

The acceleration due to gravity decreases. (FALSE)

The kinetic energy of the object decrease (FALSE)

Explanation:

FORCE OF GRAVITY:

Force of gravity on the object is the weight of object, which depends upon the mass and value of acceleration due to gravity (W = mg). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity is also constant on earth.

Therefore, force of gravity remains same on the object. The statement is false.

POTENTIAL ENERGY:

Potential energy of object depends upon the mass, value of acceleration due to gravity, and change in height of object (P.E = mgΔh). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth. But, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, potential energy of object decreases. The statement is true.

ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY:

Acceleration due to gravity depends upon the altitude (gh = g[1 - 2h/Re]). Since, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, acceleration due to gravity increases. The statement is false.

But, this change is not significant.

KINETIC ENERGY:

Kinetic Energy of object, which depends upon the mass and velocity of the object (K.E = mv²/2). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and velocity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth.

Therefore, kinetic energy of the object also increases. The statement is false.

In college softball, the distance from the pitcher's mound to the batter is 43 feet. If the ball leaves the bat at 110 mph , how

Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The distance from the pitcher's mound to the batter is 43 feet, d = 43 feet = 0.00814 miles

Speed with which ball leaves the ball, v = 110 mph

Let t is the time elapses between the hit and the ball reaching the pitcher. It is given by :

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{0.00814}{110}$

t = 0.000074 hours

t = 0.2664 seconds

So, the time between the hit and the ball reaching the pitcher is 0.2664 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

1. What food were you craving the most upon return home after eating space food? - I would ask because they don’t get the regular everyday food we have on earth, I know I’d be craving food and it’s very interesting to hear their answers.

2. How did you feel physically after returning to earth? And has it been hard readjusting? - After a long period of time in space, I feel like it’d be very hard to adjust back into the way we live and I’m intrigued to hear about how it felt and what they did in order to adjust.

3. What do you think while on the launchpad about to launch? - I feel like it’d be very scary for me but everyone has a different way of feeling. I’d love to hear about their thoughts during this process.
