A baseball player throws a ball horizontally at the same moment another baseball player jobs a second ball straight down from th

I don't know what you mean when you say he "jobs" the other ball, and the answer to this question really depends on that word.

I'm going to say that the second player is holding the second ball, and he just opens his fingers and lets the ball <u><em>drop</em></u>, at the same time and from the same height as the first ball.

Now I'll go ahead and answer the question that I've just invented:

Strange as it may seem, <em>both</em> balls hit the ground at the <em>same time</em> ... the one that's thrown AND the one that's dropped.  The horizontal speed of the thrown ball has no effect on its vertical acceleration, so both balls experience the same vertical behavior.

And here's another example of the exact same thing:

Say you shoot a bullet straight out of a horizontal rifle barrel, AND somebody else <em>drops</em> another bullet at exactly the same time, from a point right next to the end of the rifle barrel.  I know this is hard to believe, but both of those bullets hit the ground at the same time too, just like the baseballs ... the bullet that's shot out of the rifle and the one that's dropped from the end of the barrel.

If Faraday had used a more powerful battery in his experiments with electromagnetic induction, what effect would this have had o
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The value of current generated would increase.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic induction is the process by which an electromotive force is induced due to a variation of magnetic field.

The induced current is directly proportional to rate at which the coil cuts the magnetic field. Using more powerful battery in the experiment would increase the rate at the the coil cuts the magnetic field, therefore increasing the rate of variation in the magnetic field. This effect would cause a greater deflection on the galvanometer's scale, showing an increase in the current generated.

This experiment proves that an alternating current can be produced from magnetic field.

PLS HELP! WILL MARK BRANLIEST!!!
Finger [1]

Answer:

d. epicentral distance scale

Explanation:

The depth of focus from the epicenter, called as Focal Depth, is an important parameter in determining the damaging potential of an earthquake. Most of the damaging earthquakes have shallow focus with focal depths less than about 70km. Distance from epicenter to any point of interest is called epicentral distance

If the mass of an object is 35kg on venus what is its mass on the sun
REY [17]

Answer:

Venus is only 95% the size of Earth, and 81% of its mass. With the smaller size and mass, the force of gravity pulling you on the surface is lower. To get your weight on Venus, just multiply your current weight by 0.9. That's why 100 pounds becomes 90 pounds

A 2 kg body is dropped from a height of 3 m. Calculate:
NikAS [45]

Answer:

   a) 6.26 m/s

   b) 7.67 m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy at height h0 is initially ...

  PE0 = mgh0

At height h1, the potential energy is ...

  PE1 = mgh1

The difference in potential energy is converted to kinetic energy:

  PE0 -PE1 = KE1 = (1/2)m(v1)^2

Solving for v1, we have ...

  mg(h0 -h1) = (1/2)m(v1)^2

  2g(h0 -h1) = (v1)^2

  v1 = √(2g(h0 -h1))

__

a) When the body is 1 m high, its speed is ...

  v = √(2(9.8)(3 -1)) ≈ 6.26 m/s . . . at 1 m high

__

b) When the body is 0 m high, its speed is ...

  v = √(2(9.8)(3 -0)) ≈ 7.67 m/s . . . when it reaches the ground
