Answer:

It would fall toward the Moon's surface

Explanation:

As you already know, a ball that is thrown 100 meters above the surface of the earth, would fall on the surface of the earth, due to the gravity of our planet, which attracts any object around it to its surface (and that is what we keep them attached to the planet's floor). The same would happen if a ball were launched 100 meters above the surface of the moon, but the ball would fall on the surface of the moon, for the same reason that is the gravity of the moon. As the Moon is much smaller than the Earth, its force of gravity is also less, therefore the bodies are attracted with less force to the lunar surface, even so the ball would fall on the surface of the moon because the distance between the ball and the earth is much greater than the distance between the moon and the ball.

Given that, A basesball is dropped from 100 meters above the surface of the earth. If the same baseball was dropped from 100 meters above the surface of the moon, it will take more time to hit the ground as compare to the ball dropped on earth. This is moon's gravity is one-sixth of that of earth. Object falling on earth possess more force of attraction. So it will reach the earth in lesser time. At moon the force of attraction is low compare to that of earth. Object will take more time to reach the surface.

Determine the magnitude of the resultant force FR=F1+F2FR=F1+F2. Assume that F1F1F_1 = 235 lblb and F2F2F_2 = 350 l
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

585lb

Explanation:

Given the following

F1 = 235lb

F2 = 350lb

The resultant is expressed as;

FR = F1+F2

Substitute the given values

FR = 235+350

FR = 585lb

Hence the magnitude of the resultant is 585lb
