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.

A helium balloon ride lifts up passengers in a basket. Assume the density of air is 1.28 kg/m3 and the density of helium in the
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

V = 381.70 m³

Explanation:

ρ air = 1.28 kg / m³

ρ helium = 0.18 kg / m³

R = 4.5 m

Vb = 0.068 m³

mb = 123 kg

To determine the volume of helium in the balloon when fully inflated

V = 4 / 3 π * R ³

V = 4 * π / 3 ( 4.5 m )³

V = 381.70 m³

To determine the mass total

m = ρ helium * V

m = 0.18 kg / m³  * 381.70  m³

m = 68.70 kg

mt = ( 68.70 + 123 )kg

mt = 191.70 kg

If you start with a substance as a solid, what will happen to the molecules as you add thermal energy (heat)?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

C. molecules speed up as more thermal energy is added

Explanation:

The molecules will simply speed up as more thermal energy is added to the solid.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is set in motion.

  • Heat causes kinetic energy build up in a body.
  • As the molecules of the solid gains heat, they will continue to increase in thermal energy.
  • They are forced to start vibrating about their fixed point.
  • Thereafter, when they have enough energy, they break free from the forces holding them.
  • Therefore, they move from a state of rest to one with a very high kinetic energy where the molecules moves rapidly.
  • This is why a solid will change to liquid and sometimes eventually gas

Light travels approximately 982,080,000 ft/s, and one year has approximately 32,000,000 seconds. A light year is the distance li
Anastasy [175]

Answer: 3.142656 × 10^16 feet

Explanation: Given that the

Speed = 982,080,000 ft/s, and

Time = 32,000,000 seconds

The formula for speed is:

Speed = distance/ time

Make distance the subject of formula

Since the time is second in one year and speed is ft/s, substitute both into the formula

Distance = speed × time

distance = 982,080,000 × 32,000,000

Distance = 3.142656 × 10^16 feet.

The distance of one light year in feet is 3.142656 × 10^16

il63 [147K]

When developing an experimental design, the action that would improve the quality of the results is to ensure that it answers a question about cause and effect.

<h3>What is experimental design?</h3>

Experimental design is a concept used to organize, conduct, and interpret results of experiments in an efficient way, making sure that as much useful information as possible is obtained by performing a small number of trials.

Thus, when developing an experimental design, the action that would improve the quality of the results is to ensure that it answers a question about cause and effect.
