Answer:

Explanation:

When a projectile is launched at some angle to the horizontal with some speed vi , and air resistance is negligible , it is definitely a freely falling body .

It is so because it is free to accelerate towards the earth with acceleration of g . Air has no resistance , hence no force is acting on it except the gravitational force . Hence it is a freely falling body .

b )

The acceleration in the vertical direction is due to force exerted by the earth that is gravitational force on it  . Hence its  acceleration is equal to g in vertically downward direction .

c )

It has zero acceleration in horizontal direction . It is so because no force is acting on it in horizontal direction . So no acceleration will be present in horizontal direction . It will move in horizontal direction with constant speed of vi cos θ where θ is the angle vi make with the horizontal .

The element Ne, neon, has ____ (number) complete shells having its ____ electrons in second _____.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

2, 8 and shell

Explanation:

Neon as atomic number 10. Since for each shell, electrons equal 2n².

When n = 1, 2n² = 2(1)² = 2

When n = 2, 2n² = 2(2)² = 8

So it fills both the first and second shell with 2 and 8 electrons respectively to achieve its stable atomic state. The rest of the 8 electrons go into the second shell because the first shell has achieved its stable dual configuration of two electrons. The next shell requires a maximum of 8 electrons to achieve stability so, the remaining electrons fill it up to achieve the stable octet configuration.

The ball and socket joint in the hip is similar to the ball and socket joint of the shoulder but is designed more for __________
Viktor [21]

Answer:

a. power

b. precision

Explanation:

The hip is a spherical joint that allows the upper leg to move from front to back and from side to side. The largest joint that supports weight in the body, the hip joint is surrounded by strong ligaments and muscles.

It differs mainly with the circular articulation of the shoulder since it allows it to perform movement of greater power and with greater precision

What is a magnetic disc that provides long-term storage for programs and data?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is: A HARD DISK

Explanation:

Magnetic Disc stores data of different types and formats that can always be edited or erased at any time. An example of a Magnetic Disc is a Hard Disk.

A hard disk is a type of magnetic storage device inside a computer that store data magnetically usually for the long-term and it could store a large volume of data, though that depends on the size, because it comes in various size. However, it generally allows stored data to be retrieved easily.
