Answer:

For a (1) net force will be greater than the weight of the ball

For b (2) net force will be lesser than the weight of the ball

Explanation:

For (a):

For a linear motion of a system, one must have to understand, according to Newtons first law of motion, which is also known as law of inertia, a body which is at motion will continue to move or a body at rest will continue to rest until an external force is applied to it. In the given case, when ball goes upward, one thing is for sure, the net force is greater than the weight of the ball, because three forces are applied during upward motion:

gravity or weight which is pulling the ball downward,

air resistance, which is also acting downward as it is creating friction between ball and air molecules, so creating hindrance in upward motion

External force to throw ball upward

So

Net Force = Upward force - Air friction - Weight

Since ball is going upward, so net force is greater than both weight and air friction which are pulling ball downward.

For (b):

For a linear motion of a system, one must have to understand, according to Newtons first law of motion, which is also known as law of inertia, a body which is at motion will continue to move or a body at rest will continue to rest until an external force is applied to it. In the given case, when ball goes downward, one thing is for sure, the net force is lesser than the weight of the ball, because two forces are applied during downward motion:

gravity or weight which is pulling the ball downward,

air resistance, which is acting upward as it is creating friction between ball and air molecules, so creating hindrance in downward motion

So

Net Force = Weight - Air friction

Since ball is going downward, so weight is greater than net force which is in this case is air friction which is pulling ball upward.

A string under a tension of 50.4 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 2.51 m at a speed of 21.1 m/s. The s
Leokris [45]

Answer:

619.8 N

Explanation:

The tension in the string provides the centripetal force that keeps the rock in circular motion, so we can write:

T=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

T is the tension

m is the mass of the rock

v is the speed

r is the radius of the circular path

At the beginning,

T = 50.4 N

v = 21.1 m/s

r = 2.51 m

So we can use the equation to find the mass of the rock:

m=\frac{Tr}{v^2}=\frac{(50.4)(2.51)}{21.1^2}=0.284 kg

Later, the radius of the string is decreased to

r' = 1.22 m

While the speed is increased to

v' = 51.6 m/s

Substituting these new data into the equation, we find the tension at which the string breaks:

T'=m\frac{v'^2}{r'}=(0.284)\frac{(51.6)^2}{1.22}=619.8 N

based on the information in the graph why is energy released during the fission of a uranium (U) nucleus?
frutty [35]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the process of splitting apart nuclei. When nuclei fission energy is released. So much energy is released that there is a measurable decrease in mass, from the mass-energy equivalence. This means that some of the mass is converted to energy.

Which of the following is not an example of approximate simple harmonic motion? A. a ball bouncing on the floor
Reptile [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Answer to this question is (A)

<h2>Explanation</h2>

A ball bouncing on the floor is not the example of simple harmonic motion. SHM is the special kind of to and fro motion in which a particle oscillate about its mean position in a straight line. The acceleration of the particle is always directed towards its mean position and is directly proportional to its displacement from its mean position.

In case of a ball bouncing on the ground, the motion of the ball is not SHM, as neither it’s a to and fro motion nor the acceleration is proportional to its displacement from its mean position.
