<h2>The different forces acting on the ball while its in air</h2>

Amy throws a softball through the air. Applied, drag and gravitational forces are acting on the ball while it’s in the air. The softball experiences force as a result of Amy’s throw. As the ball moves, it experiences from the air it passes through.

It also experiences a downward pull because earth has the property to attract everything which is on the earth towards it. The ball is moving in the air but earth applies force on the ball to get back on the ground. Hence, in this way, gravitational force applies.

There is also a drag force which results due to friction that is present in the air. It resist to move ball in the air and there will also be applied force which is given by a person who throws by applying force.

Answer:

The downward pull is the gravitational pull of the earth.

Explanation:

The ball experiences three types of forces.

1. Applied force by Amy.

2. Dragging force due to the air friction which resists the motion of the ball.

3. The gravitational pull which acts in downward direction applied by the earth.

A small truck has a mass of 2145 kg. How much work is required to decrease the speed of the vehicle from 25.0 m/s to 12.0 m/s on
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The work required is -515,872.5 J

Explanation:

Work is defined in physics as the force that is applied to a body to move it from one point to another.

The total work W done on an object to move from one position A to another B is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object. That is, work is also defined as the change in the kinetic energy of an object.

Kinetic energy (Ec) depends on the mass and speed of the body. This energy is calculated by the expression:

Ec=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}

where kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J), mass in kilograms (kg), and velocity in meters per second (m/s).

The work (W) of this force is equal to the difference between the final value and the initial value of the kinetic energy of the particle:

W=\frac{1}{2} *m*v2^{2}-\frac{1}{2} *m*v1^{2}

W=\frac{1}{2} *m*(v2^{2}-v1^{2})

In this case:

  • W=?
  • m= 2,145 kg
  • v2= 12 \frac{m}{s}
  • v1= 25 \frac{m}{s}

Replacing:

W=\frac{1}{2} *2145 kg*((12\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(25\frac{m}{s} )^{2})

W= -515,872.5 J

<u><em>The work required is -515,872.5 J</em></u>

One baked potato provides an average of 30 mg of vitamin C. If 70 potatoes weigh 20 lb., how many milligrams of vitamin C are pr
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

105 mg

Explanation:

Given that:

1 baked potato provides 30 mg of vitamin C.

So,

70 baked potatoes provide 30\times 70 mg of vitamin C

Also,

70 potatoes = 20 lb

So,

20 lb potatoes provide 30\times 70 mg of vitamin C

Thus,

1 lb potatoes provide \frac {30\times 70}{20} mg of vitamin C

<u>Thus, 105 mg of Vitamin C are provided per pound of the potatoes.</u>

(a) when rebuilding her car's engine, a physics major must exert 300 n of force to insert a dry steel piston into a steel cylind
Vilka [71]
There are some missing data in the text of the problem. I've found them online:
a) coefficient of friction dry steel piston - steel cilinder: 0.3
b) coefficient of friction with oil in between the surfaces: 0.03

Solution:
a) The force F applied by the person (300 N) must be at least equal to the frictional force, given by:
F_f = \mu N
where \mu is the coefficient of friction, while N is the normal force. So we have:
F=\mu N
since we know that F=300 N and \mu=0.3, we can find N, the magnitude of the normal force:
N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.3}=1000 N

b) The problem is identical to that of the first part; however, this time the coefficienct of friction is \mu=0.03 due to the presence of the oil. Therefore, we have:
N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.03}=10000 N

What determines velocity rather than speed??
Stella [2.4K]
Velocity - <span><span>the speed of something in a given direction
Speed - </span></span><span>rapidity in moving, going, traveling, proceeding, or performing; swiftness; <span>celerity
Velocity is the speed in a certain direction, whereas speed is just the rate of fastness.
Does that make sense?
