Answer:
Friction force always acts tangent to the surface at points of contact. Friction force acts opposite to the direction of motion. There are 2 types of friction: Static friction: If the two surfaces in contact do not move relative to each other, one has static friction.
The correct answer is decreases
The further away you are the weaker it would be. That's why at one point you stop being in the field and ti doesn't pull you towards it anymore. Proportionally, if you move towards the Earth then it increases.
Time taken by the bowling ball to reach its highest point= 0.214 s
initial velocity= Vi=2.1 m/s
Final velocity= Vf=0 as the velocity at the highest point is zero.
acceleration= g= -9.8 m/s²
using the kinematic equation Vf= Vi + at
0= 2.1 + (-9.8)t
t= -2.1/-9.8
t=0.214 s
Thus the time taken by the bowling ball to reach its highest point is 0.214 s
We can't look at Figure 4. We don't know where a and b are. We can't see the blue shaded area. We don't know what our method above was. We can't see the green skinny rectangle.
