When Jackson throws a tennis ball in a straight path, what two forces cause the ball to eventually stop moving?

After Jackson lets go of the ball, there are two forces on it
that influence what it's going to do. They are gravity and
air resistance.

Air resistance is just plain friction. As long as the ball continues
to move through air, it loses kinetic energy to the air and gradually
slows down.

While the ball is in the air, there are no other forces on it that cause
it to stop moving.

If you absolutely must have another one, it doesn't occur until the
ball hits the ground. But that isn't even another force. It's just more
friction, from scraping against concrete and grass.

Gravity pulls the ball down to the ground. But gravity doesn't make
the ball stop moving. In fact, gravity tries to make it move faster and
faster, and gravity would succeed if it weren't for all the friction that
the ball encounters.

Well, the force that originally caused it to start moving was inertia, but the forces that cause it to stop are friction and gravity. Gravity pulls the object towards the center of the Earth, causing it to slow and eventually stop, and friction is the resistance between the ball and the ground (or whatever).

Hope this helps!

How fast does a 2 MeV fission neutron travel through a reactor core?

Artemon [7]

Answer:

The answer is $1.956 \times 10^7\ m/s$

Explanation:

The amount of energy is not enough to apply the relativistic formula of energy $E = mc^2$ , so the definition of energy in this case is

$E = \frac{1}{2}m v^2$ .

From the last equation,

$v= \sqrt{2E/m}$

where

$E = 2 MeV = 3.204 \times 10^{-13} J$

and the mass of the neutron is

$m = 1.675\times 10^{-27}\ Kg$ .

Then

$v = 1.956 \times 10^7\ m/s$

the equivalent of $0.065$ the speed of light.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

t = 106π / 30*2.1

Explanation:

$w_{i} = 1.06*10^{2}$ => 106

=> 106 x 2π/60

=> 106/30π

∝ = -2.1 rad/sec²

$w_{f}$ => 0

$w_{f}$ = $w_{i}$ + ∝t

∴ ( $w_{f}$ - $w_{i}$ ) / ∝ = t

t = 106π / 30*2.1

deff fn [24]

Answer:

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that the displacement of the particle from the mean position is 1/5 times of its amplitude

so we have

$y = A sin\omega t$

$y = \frac{A}{5}$

so now we have

$\frac{A}{5} = A sin\omega t$

now we have

$\theta_1 = 11.53 degree$

so the phase other particle in opposite direction is given as

$\theta_2 = 180 - 11.53 = 168.46 degree$

so we have phase difference given as

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 168.46 - 11.53$

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree$

vlada-n [284]

A motorcycle mainly wastes energy as heat <u>energy</u> and <u>sound</u> energy. In the engine, chemical energy is transformed into mechanical energy. However, the engine is inefficient and much of the chemical energy is lost as heat energy. Also, some of the energy is transformed to sound energy. This explains why the motorcycle is noisy and has an exhaust pipe.
