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.

The figure above shows a rod that is fixed to a horizontal surface at pivot P The rod is initially rotating
Lisa [10]

The angular speed is decreasing and direction of rotation clockwise of the rod immediately after time t.

<h3></h3><h3>What is angular speed ?</h3>

The rate of change of angular displacement is defined as angular speed.  It is stated as follows:

ω = θ t

Where,

θ is the angle of rotation,

t is the time

ω is the angular velocity

The torque is found as;l

\rm  T = F \times r

If the force is acting on the rod  from the three point is the same, the value of the torque is depends upon the radius or the perpendicular distance.

The perpendicular distance of the right force is grater. Hence, the force acting on the right side is more, and the rod will rotate clockwise.

Both the forces are acting downwards. Thus, the resultant force is the less due to which the speed is increasing.

Hence, the angular speed is decreasing and direction of rotation clockwise of the rod immediately after time t.

To learn more about the angular speed, refer to the link;

Answer: B

Explanation:the voltage is just like the force that drives the current through out the circui... When trippled, the force increases and the current increases since the resistance in the circuit remains constant.

Explain how do winds cause surface currents?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

As wind or an ocean current moves, the Earth spins underneath it. ... The Coriolis effect bends the direction of surface currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere.

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect causes winds and currents to form circular patterns.

Explain why materials such as plastic foam, feathers, and fur are poor conductors of heat.
Firlakuza [10]
The atoms of some materials have no free electrons in their outer orbits. These electrons are busy doing other jobs, like being shared in the orbits of two adjacent atoms. They are so closely held that it is very difficult to pull them away. Most compounds of carbon and hydrogen are like this. 

<span>Plastics, whose molecules are made from long combinations of carbon and hydrogen atoms, have few or no free electrons. This means that plastics are poor conductors of electricity (and they are also poor conductors of heat). hope that helped.</span>
