This is because of something called moments,
moment is the turning Effect of a force.
it is calculated by
moment=force×perpendicular distance from the line of action.
So if there is more distance from pivot the more the moment is for the same force.

A ball is projected horizontally from the top of a cliff. At the same moment, a second identical ball is dropped from rest from

almond37 [142]

Answer:3

Explanation:

First ball is thrown with horizontal velocity while other ball is dropped from cliff such that both have zero vertical velocity. So both balls have to cover a distance equal to the height of cliff with same initial velocity.

time taken is given by $t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

where h=height of cliff

g=acceleration due to gravity

horizontal velocity to first ball will make the ball to travel more horizontal distance as compared to second ball.

Option 3 is correct

These are equal and opposite forces that do not cause a change in position or motion. True or False

Contact [7]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Balance forces are usually defined as the two distinct force that acts on an object but in opposite directions. These two acting forces are equal in size or magnitude. When this type of force is applied on any object, it signifies that the object is stationary or it is moving at a constant speed and in the same direction.

This force is comprised of two most important properties namely the strength and direction. When any of the two forces is higher then it result in the motion of the object.

Thus, the above given statement is TRUE.
