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.

These four surfaces are opaque; that is they reflect or absorb certain rays of light determine the color
masya89 [10]
In the first figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for green light, which is reflected: so, the surface will appear as green to our eyes, because green is the only color which is reflected by that surface.

Similarly, in the  second figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for blue, and so the surface will appear blue to our eyes.

In the third figure, the surface absorbs all colors, so it will appear black to our eyes (because no colors are reflected, and black=absence of colors).

In the fourth figure, all colors are reflected: this means the surface will appear white to our eyes (white= sum of all colors).

When a rope is wrapped around a wheel (or pulley) and pulled, the lever arm is the ________ Blank 1 of the wheel and the angle b
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

the DISTANCE between the lever arm and the force is always 90º

Explanation:

In this exercise, you are asked to complete the missing words so that the phrase makes sense.

note that the torque is

              τ = F x r

where bold indicates vectors

When the rope is pulled, the DISTANCE between the lever arm and the force is always 90º

A charge of 4.5 × 10-5 C is placed in an electric field with a strength of 2.0 × 104 . If the charge is 0.030 m from the source
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The electrical potential energy is 0.027 Joules.

Explanation:

The values from the question are

charge (q) = 4.5 \times 10^{-5} C

Electric Field strength (E) = 2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C

Distance from source (d) = 0.030 m

Now the formula for the electrical potential energy (U) is given by

U = q \times E \times d

So now insert the values to find the answer

U = 4.5 \times 10^{-5} C \times 2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C \times 0.030 m

On further solving

U = 0.027 J

A high jumper jumps 2.04 m. If the jumper has a mass of 67 kg, what is his gravitational potential energy at the highest point i
Mariulka [41]

Answer: 1339.5 joules

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, GPE is the energy possessed by the jumper as he moves against gravity.

Thus, GPE = Mass m x Acceleration due to gravity g x Height h

Since Mass = 67kg

g = 9.8m/s^2

h = 2.04 metres

Thus, GPE = 67kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 2.04m

GPE = 1339.5 joules

Thus, the gravitational potential energy at the highest point is 1339.5 joules
