If a baseball has a zero velocity at some instant, is the acceleration of the baseball necessarily zero at that time? Explain -

making sure to give an example of an object that has a zero velocity but non-zero acceleration.

Answer:

No, not necessarily

Explanation:

If an object is moving with an acceleration that causes its speed to be reduced, there will be a moment in which it reaches v = 0, but this doesn't necessarily mean that the acceleration isn't acting anymore. If the object continues its movement with the same acceleration, it's velocity will become negative.

An example of an object that has zero velocity but non-zero acceleration:

If you throw an object in the air with a certain velocity, it will move vertically, reducing its velocity in a 9,8 m/s^{2} rate (which is the acceleration caused by gravity). At a certain point, the object will reach its maximum height, and will start to fall. In the exact moment that it reaches the maximum height, before it starts falling, its velocity is zero, but gravity is still acting on the object (this is the reason why it starts falling instead of just being stopped at that point). Therefore, at that point, the object has zero velocity but an acceleration of 9,8 m/s^{2}.

Which of the following positions would Earth be in if it were winter in the Northern Hemisphere?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Is gas matter? How do you know? Hint: Remember there are 2 things we need to be considered matter.
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume.

In addition to solids and liquids, gases are also a physical state in which matter can occur. All gases have weight. Unlike solids and liquids, gases will occupy the entire container that encloses them.

matter is "anything that has mass and volume (occupies space)

     <em>Gases have mass. The space between gas particles is empty. Gases can be formed as products in chemical reactions. Gas particles can form bonds between them under certain conditions</em>

<em>       Gases have volume which isn't fixed </em>(no fixed volume)<em> and no fixed shape. Gases expand to fill the space available. They can also be compressed into a very small space.</em>

What are examples of newton's 3 law
jarptica [38.1K]
Newton's First Law Example: Driving a car and hitting something like a tree, the car will stop instantly but you'll keep moving forward. Cars have airbags because of this.

Newton's Second Law Example: It's easier to push a box without anything inside it than a box full of stuff because the box that is full has more mass than the empty one.

Newton's Third Law Example: When air rushes out of a balloon, the opposite reaction is that the balloon will fly around the room.

C.) cool feet walking across a hot pavement.



The reason because the other ones deals with radiation. Only C.) is the right answer because the feet is touching the hot pavement which is conduction.
