Why doesn't the force of gravity change the speed of a bowling ball as it rolls along a bowling lane?

Physics
1 answer:
Oliga [24]3 years ago
5 0
Because the gravitational force, which points downward, is perfectly balanced by the normal reaction of the floor of the bowling lane, which points upward. The two forces are equal in magnitude, so the net force acting vertically on the bowling ball is zero, therefore there is no acceleration along this direction. Moreover, since the ball is moving in the horizontal direction, the gravitational force has no component along this direction, so it does not change the velocity of the ball.

Which layer would a person drilling a well most likely reach after drilling through the unsaturated zone?
Flauer [41]

An aquifer is the most expected feature that is likely to be reach after drilling through the unsaturated zone. Aquifer has tendency to transform ground water to the surface through voids. The depth of aquifer varies.

Azurite is a mineral that contains 55.1% of copper. How many meter of copper wire with diameter of 0.0113 in can be produced fro
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

1402.73 m

Explanation:

Mass of Azurite=3.25 lb

Percent of copper in AZurite mineral=55.1%

Diameter of  copper wire,d=0.0113  in

Radius of copper wire=r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.0113}{2}=0.00565 in=\frac{565}{100000}=\frac{565}{100}\times \frac{1}{1000}=5.65\times 10^{-3}in

\frac{1}{1000}=10^{-3}

Density  of copper=\rho=8.96g/cm^3

1 lb=454 g

3.25 lb=3.25\times 454=1475.5 g

Mass of Azurite=1475.5 g

Mass of copper=\frac{55.1}{100}\times 1475.5=813 g

Density=\frac{Mass}{volume}

Using the formula

8.96=\frac{813}{volume\;of\;copper}

Volume of copper wire=\frac{813}{8.96}=90.7cm^3

Radius of copper wire=5.65\times 10^{-3}\times 2.54=14.35\times 10^{-3} cm

1 in=2.54 cm

Volume of copper wire=\pi r^2 h

\pi=3.14

Using the formula

90.7=3.14\times (14.35\times 10^{-3})^2\times h

h=\frac{90.7}{3.14\times (14.35\times 10^{-3})^2}

h=140273 cm

1 m=100 cm

h=\frac{140273}{100}=1402.73 m

Hence, the length of copper wire required=1402.73 m

How does a model differ from a theory?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

A model is practical representation of reality with help of various tools called model. It is more purposeful, appealing and provide greater understanding of the specific phenomenon called modeling.

Theory on the other hand are set of written statement which is more generalized and aimed to explain the phenomenon. Theory is developed through the process of abstraction, experimentation, and deduction.

A model is often is used to describe an application of a theory for a specific case.
