Several forces act on a ball. Which of the following statements must be true? The velocity and acceleration could be in any dire

ction. None of these choices. The velocity and acceleration are in the direction of the resultant force. The velocity is in the direction of the resultant force, but the acceleration could be in any direction. The velocity could be in any direction, but the acceleration is in the direction of the resultant force.

Answer:

The velocity could be in any direction, but the acceleration is in the direction of the resultant force.

Explanation:

The ball (assuming that we can treat it as a point mass) must obey Newton's 2nd Law, that states that the acceleration produced by a force, is proportional to the applied force, being the mass the proportionality constant.

As the force is the vector, and the mass an scalar, the acceleration vector must be in the same direction as the force vector.

Velocity, instead, can be in any direction: When an object is speeding up is in the same direction as the acceleration, while if it is slowing down, it has just the opposite.

What is the wavelength of violet light that has a frequency of 7.5x10^14
Crank
Λ= V/f 
<span>but change it to represent the speed of light, c </span>
<span>λ= c/f </span>
<span>c = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s </span>
<span>Plug in your given info and solve for λ(wavelength) </span>
<span>λ= 3.00 x 10^8 m/s / 7.5 x 10^14 Hz
(3.00 x 10^8) / (7.5 x 10^14) = 300,000,000 / 750,000,000,000,000 = 0.0000004
Hope this helps :)

The direction of an electric field is the direction (5 points)
vlabodo [156]

The direction of an electric field is determined from the behavior of a positive test charge that is set free in the electric field.This charge moves along a distinct vector showing the direction of the electric field  Therefore the answer is b. a positive charge will move in the field.
