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.

How has globalization led to underdeveloped countries?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: Economic growth is the main channel. Globalization can affect poverty. when countries open up to trade, they tend to grow faster and living standards do tend to increase.

The answer for this change in the magnitude of momentum is the same for both because momentum is always conserved so both vehicles have the identical change. 
So for determining who has the greater change in kinetic energy, momentum (P) = mv so P^2 = m^2 v^2 P^2 / 2m = 1/2 m v^2 = energy So the weightier the mass the smaller the energy change for the same momentum change so in here, the car has a greater change in kinetic energy.

Mercury has a density of 13.6 g/cm , whereas the density of water is 1.00 g/cm. The pressure of the atmosphere is high enough to
kenny6666 [7]

10.3

Explanation:

Step 1:

The pressure exerted by any liquid column of height, h density d is given by the formula P = h * d * g

Step 2:

It is given that one atmosphere pressure pushes up 76.0 cm of mercury, we need to calculate the level of water that will be pushed by the same pressure.

Step 3:

Since the pressure pushing up mercury and water is the same

h_{mercury} * d_{mercury} * g = h_{water} * d_{water} * g

 h_{water} = \frac{h_{mercury}*d_{mercury} }{d_{water}}  = (13.6 g/cm * 76 cm)/1 g/cm = 1033.6 cm

Step 4:

Now we need to express the answer in meters.

1 m = 100 cm.

1033.6 cm = 10.336 m

This can be rounded off to 10.3 m

What is the kinetic energy of a 1500 kg object moving at a velocity of 10 m/s?
Anastasy [175]
The Kinetic Energy Formula is as follows: KE = mass x velocity^2 /2

Plug in the correct numbers into the variables!

KE = 1500 kg x 10 m/s ^2 / 2

Square the 10 m/s!

KE = 1500 kg x 100 m/s / 2

Multiply!

KE = 150,000 / 2

Divide!

KE = 75,000 Newton-meters or Joules!
