Answer:

C. At the instant the ball reaches its highest point.

Explanation:

When a body is thrown up, it tends to come down due to the influence of gravitational force acting on the body. The body will be momentarily at rest at its maximum point before falling. At this maximum point, the velocity of the body is zero and since force acting on a body is product of the mass and its acceleration, the force acting on the body at that point will be "zero"

Remember, F = ma = m(v/t)

Since v = 0 at maximum height

F = m(0/t)

F = 0N

This shows that the force acting on the body is zero at the maximum height.

Gre4nikov [31]
The correct answer is option A. i.e. An important thing to consider when responding to a driver in front of you that stops suddenly is: the mental state of the other driver.

Our talk or discussion can disrturb the balance of the driver or he can get distracted. So, we must try not to speak much while the driver is driving because by doing this we are putting the life of ourselves in danger. Any distrcaction of driver can cause accident.

If the frequency of a wave is 400hz and it’s wave length is2.5 what is the velocity ?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
To begin with, we can use the formula that links frequency, wavelength and velocity.

Because you already have the wavelength and the frequency, you just need to solve for velocity. You can do this by multiplying each side of the equation by frequency.

Therefore, 400 x 2.5 = 1000m/s.

Hope this helps :)

PLEASE HELP!
Harman [31]
Hey user!

your answer is here..

correct option is A. steel

we know that sounds travel faster in solid as compared to gas and liquids. in gas the molecules are very loosely packed and there is lot of space between so it takes more time to pass sound from each other. and in liquid, the molecules are closer as compared to gas hence it will be little faster and in solid, the molecules are very tightly packed so it will be the fastest. and among these options, steel is the only solid so the speed of sound in steel will be the fastest.

and note that the closer the molecules are to each other ( tightly packed ) makes the bond also tighter and less time to pass sound.

cheers!!
