<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.

If the voltage across a circuit element of constant resistance is doubled, how is the current through the circuit element affect
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The current through the circuit element will also be doubled.

Explanation:

The relationship between voltage and current of a circuit element is given by Ohm's Law. According to Ohm's Law:

Voltage = (Resistance)(Current)

If the resistance of the element is kept constant, the relation between Voltage and Current through that element becomes as follows:

Voltage = (Constant)(Current)

Voltage α Current

Thus, the voltage is directly proportional to the current for constant value of the resistance.

Therefore, when the voltage across a circuit element of constant resistance is doubled, <u>the current through the circuit element will also be doubled.</u>

A space vehicle accelerates uniformly from 85 m/s at t = 0 to 164 m/s at t = 10.0 s .How far did it move between t = 2.0 s and t
creativ13 [48]

First, we have a change in the velocity from 85 to 164 m/s in 10 sec.

Then, we calculate the <u>acceleration </u>as:

a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i} }{t} =\frac{164-85}{10}=7.9 m/s^2

Hence we need to calculate the velocity of the space vehicle at t = 2 sec using the first equation of motion:

v_{f}=v_{i}+at=85+7.9*2=100.8m/s

Then, using the second equation of motion to calculate the distance:

d=v_{i}  t+\frac{1}{2}at^2

d=100.8*2+\frac{1}{2}*7.9*(2)^2=217.4m

A ball is thrown so that its initial vertical and horizontal components of velocity are 30 m/s and 15 m/s, respectively. Estimat
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

H = 45 m

Explanation:

First we find the launch velocity of the ball by using the following formula:

v₀ = √(v₀ₓ² + v₀y²)

where,

v₀ = launching velocity = ?

v₀ₓ = Horizontal Component of Launch Velocity = 15 m/s

v₀y = Vertical Component of Launch Velocity = 30 m/s

Therefore,

v₀ = √[(15 m/s)² + (30 m/s)²]

v₀ = 33.54 m/s

Now, we find the launch angle of the ball by using the following formula:

θ = tan⁻¹ (v₀y/v₀ₓ)

θ = tan⁻¹ (30/15)

θ = tan⁻¹ (2)

θ = 63.43°

Now, the maximum height attained by the ball is given by the formula:

H = (v₀² Sin² θ)/2g

H = (33.54 m/s)² (Sin² 63.43°)/2(10 m/s²)

<u>H = 45 m</u>

A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a softball to her friends in the water below. She th
aliina [53]

Answer:

58.5 m

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the total time the ball takes to reach the water. This can be done by looking at the vertical motion only.

The initial vertical velocity of the ball is

u_y = u sin \theta

where

u = 21.5 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=33.5^{\circ} is the angle

Substituting,

u_y = (21.5) sin 33.5^{\circ} =11.9 m/s

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by

y = h + u_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 13.5 m is the initial heigth

g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative sign because it points downward)

The ball reaches the water when y = 0, so

0 = h + u_yt +\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\0 = 13.5 +11.9 t - 4.9t^2

Which gives two solutions: t = 3.27 s and t = -0.84 s. We discard the negative solution since it is meaningless.

The horizontal velocity of the ball is

u_y = u cos \theta = (21.5) cos 33.5^{\circ} =17.9 m/s

And since the motion along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion, we can find the horizontal distance travelled by the ball as follows:

d= u_x t = (17.9)(3.27)=58.5 m

A square sheet of rubber has sides that are 20 cm long. What is the area of the square of rubber in cm squared?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

400cm^2

Explanation:

sides are 20cm long Area for a square is a squared

since all the lides are of equal length you can just choose one side.

20squared is 400

20 x 20 = 400cm squared

Hope this helps :)
