A ball thrown in to the air starts out with an initial upward velocity but eventually slows and stops before falling back to the

ground. Which of the following contributes the most to the change in the motion of the ball?Question 2 options: a) The initial force with which the ball was thrown b) The downward force of gravity c) The resistance against the atmosphere d) The increase of inertia.

Answer:

b) The downward force of gravity

Explanation:

The gravity force has the biggest influence on the deceleration of the ball because no matter how much force you applied on the ball, it will eventually go down again, according to newton's second law:

\sum F=m.a

right after you throw the ball, only the force exerted by the gravity will affect the ball (neglecting air resistance):

m.g=m.a\\a=g

so the object will eventually be going down again.

ONLINE CALCULATOR .A force of 187 pounds makes an angle of 73 degrees 36 ' with a second force. The resultant of the two forces
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The magnitudes of the second force is   Z = 129.9 N

The magnitudes of the  resultant force is   R = 256.047 N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The force is  F = 187 \ lb

     The angle made with second force \theta_o = 73 ^o 36' =  73 + \frac{36}{60}  =  73.6^o

     The angle between the resultant force and the first force \theta _1  = 29 ^o 1 ' = 29 + \frac{1}{60}  = 29.0167^o

For us to solve problem we are going to assume that

     The magnitude of the second force is  Z N

     The magnitude of the resultant force is R N

According to Sine rule

                \frac{F}{sin (\theta _o - \theta_1 }  = \frac{Z}{\theta _1}

Substituting values

             \frac{187}{sin(73.3 - 29.01667)} =\frac{Z}{sin (29.01667)}  

             267.82 =\frac{Z}{0.4851}  

              Z = 129.9 N

According to cosine rule

       R = \sqrt{F ^2 + Z^2 + 2(F) (Z) cos (\theta _o) }

Substituting values

     R = \sqrt{187^2 + 129.9 ^2  + 2 (187 ) (129.9) cos (73.6)}

     R = 256.047 N

When a car is coasting downhill, how are its potential and kinetic energies changing?
olasank [31]

When a car is coasting downhill, the kinetic and potential energies are increasing and decreasing respectively.

<h3>What are kinetic and potential energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its motion, equal to one half the mass of the body times the square of its speed.

Potential energy, on the other hand, is the energy possessed by an object because of its position (in a gravitational or electric field), or its condition (as a stretched or compressed spring, as a chemical reactant, or by having rest mass).

According to this question, a car going downhill will begin to speed because there is lesser friction. This suggests that the kinetic energy increases while the potential energy decreases.

A particle vibrates in Simple Harmonic Motion with amplitude. What will be its displacement in one time-period? A 2A 4A 0
yan [13]

'Displacement' is the distance and direction between the starting point and
ending point, regardless of the path followed to get there.

A particle that's executing simple harmonic motion is always in the same place
where it was one time period ago, and where it will be later after another time
period has passed. 

So its displacement during exactly one time period is exactly zero.
