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.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

Li has less mass and therefore less inertia, so he can change his motion more easily than Raj.

Explanation:

Inertia describes the resistance of an object to any change in its state of motion, and it depends on the mass of the object only. In particular:

- if an object has a large inertia (large mass), then it is more difficult to change its state of motion (i.e. to put it in motion, or to slow it down, or to change its direction of motion)

- if an object has small inertia (small mass), then it is more easy to change its state of motion

In this problem, Li has less mass than Raj, so he has less inertia, therefore he can change his motion more easily than Raj.

Anna is conducting an experiment to determine how weather affects cell phone reception. She is trying to decide the best way to
aev [14]

Answer:

D. Test a cell phone's reception in the exact same location under various atmospheric conditions

Explanation:

Components of an experiment:

Independent variable:

A manipulated variable, in an experiment or study, whose presence or degree incurs a change in the  dependent variable.

Dependent variable:

A variable which is being studied in the experiment and is supposed to change with respect to the independent variable.

Control variable:

Control variable includes the variables which are of no concern in the experiment and must be constant so that they do not interfere with the results of the experiment. Change in control variable might affect the results of an experiment.

In Anna's experiment, the independent variable is the atmospheric conditions. The dependent variable is cell phone reception that will change according to the atmospheric conditions. All other things related to the experiment are control variables like cellphone, location of the cell phone. Both of these must stay constant to collect the best data.

Hence, the best option is D.

How do the positions of the hot and cold water affect the speed of convection
Aleks [24]

Convection is the process in which heat is transferred by movement of a heated fluid such as air or water. Natural convection results from the tendency of most fluids to expand when heated so it becomes less dense and rise above.  

For example- In a pot of water on a stove the liquid t bottom is heated by conduction. The hot water has lower density and it rises above pushing the cold water downwards so it gets heated.

A periodic wave travels from one medium to another. Which pair of variables are likely to change in the process?
Travka [436]

A  velocity and wavelength

Explanation:

When a periodic wave travels from one medium to another, its velocity and wavelength changes in the process.

A periodic wave is a wave with repeating pattern.

  • When a wave crosses different medium with different densities, their velocity and wavelength changes.
  • This implies that wave causes disturbances in different ways.
  • This change in wavelength and velocity as a wave crosses two medium is known as refraction.
  • When a wave moves from a less dense medium to a denser one, the velocity reduces and the wavelength increases.

As material from the outer envelope of the larger star builds up on the surface of the white dwarf, its temperature and density
stepan [7]

Answer:

Hydrogen will undergo nuclear fusion ,

Explanation:

here, it is being explained:-

The first thing that will inevitably arise would be that nuclear fusion would arise with hydrogen.

When fuel from the larger star's outer shell piles up on the white dwarf's surface, the temperature and density continuously increase as a result of which hydrogen will undergo nuclear fusion.
