If the gravitational force were<span> decreased by half, there would be lack of gravity on earth. Hence, it would basically affect the velocity, speed, and the distance travelled in any direction by basketball players and the ball. The basketball would bounce higher and come down in a slower speed. Whereas for the players, they would be able to leap higher from the floor.</span><span> </span>

How much work is done on a small car if a 3150 N force is exerted to move it 75.5 m to the side of the road
irinina [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work = Force times displacement. Therefore,

W = 3150(75.5) so

W = 238000 N*m

0.125 C of charge flow out of a
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Resistance = 252.53 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Charge = 0.125 C

Voltage = 5 V

Time = 6.3 seconds

To find the resistance;

First of all, we would determine the current flowing through the battery;

Quantity of charge, Q = current * time

0.125 = current * 6.3

Current = 0.125/6.3

Current = 0.0198 A

Next, we find the resistance;

Resistance = voltage/current

Resistance = 5/0.0198

Resistance = 252.53 Ohms

A visitor to the observation deck of a skyscraper manages to drop a penny over the edge. As the penny falls faster, the force du
pentagon [3]
If a coin is dropped at a relatively low altitude, it's acceleration remains constant. However, if the coin is dropped at a very high altitude, air resistance will have a significant effect. The initial acceleration of the coin will be the greatest. As it falls down, air resistance will counteract the weight of the coin. So, the acceleration will decrease. Although the acceleration decreases, the coin still accelerates, that is why it falls faster. When the air resistance fully counters the weight of the coin, the acceleration will become zero and the coin will fall at a constant speed (terminal velocity). So, the answer should be, The acceleration decreases until it reaches 0. The closest answer is.
a. The acceleration decreases.

How does a car get energy?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Explanation:

Just like your body converts food into energy, a car engine converts gas into motion. ... The process of converting gasoline into motion is called "internal combustion." Internal combustion engines use small, controlled explosions to generate the power needed to move your car all the places it needs to go.

Consider the displacement vectors Ā=(i +6j)m, B = (3i– 7j)m,
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Dx = -0.5

Dy = -0.25

Explanation:

Two vectors are given in rectangular components form as follows:

A = i + 6j

B = 3i - 7j

It is also given that:

A - B - 4D = 0

so, we solve this to find D vector:

(i + 6j) - (3i - 7j) - 4D = 0

- 2i - j = 4D

D = - (2/4)i - (1/4)j

D = - (1/2)i - (1/4)j

<u>D = - 0.5i - 0.25j</u>

Therefore,

<u>Dx = -0.5</u>

<u>Dy = -0.25</u>
