The force of air resistance acts to oppose the motion of an object moving through the air. A ball is thrown upward and eventuall

y returns to the ground.
(a) As the ball moves upward, is the net force that acts on the ball greater than, less than, or equal to its weight?
(1) net force will be greater than the weight of the ball
(2) net force will be lesser than the weight of the ball
(3)net force will be equal to the weight of the ball
Justify your answer.
(b) Repeat part (a) for the downward motion of the ball.

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.

When a second student joins the first, the height difference between the liquid levels in the right and left pistons is 40 cm .
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

m = 56.5 kg

Explanation:

Since the addition of mass on one piston caused a change in pressure head at the other. Diameter of the piston calculated is used as 0.46 m

Δm*g / Area = p * g * Δh   ..... Eq1

m = \frac{p*h*A}{g}

m = \frac{850 * 0.4 * pi*0.46^2}{4*9.81}\\\\m= 56.5 kg

What is the velocity of a wave with a wavelength of 1.5m and a frequency of 500 Hz
Schach [20]
Wave speed  =  (wavelength) x (frequency)

                       = (1.5 m) x (500 / sec)

                       =       750 m/s .

An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 3.10 m/s when the fish in her talons wiggles loose and falls into the lake 6.10 m
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

10.93m/s with the assumption that the water in the lake is still (the water has a speed of zero)

Explanation:

The velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water surface is equal to the resultant velocity between the fish and the water when it hits it.

The fish drops on the water surface vertically with a vertical velocity v. Nothing was said about the velocity of the water, hence we can safely assume that the velocity if the water in the lake is zero, meaning that it is still. Therefore the relative velocity becomes equal to the velocity v with which the fish strikes the water surface.

We use the first equation of motion for a free-falling body to obtain v as follows;

v = u + gt....................(1)

where g is acceleration due to gravity taken as 9.8m/s/s

It should also be noted that the horizontal and vertical components of the motion are independent of each other, hence we take u = 0 as the fish falls vertically.

To obtain t, we use the second equation of motion as stated;

h=ut+gt^2/2.................(2)

Given; h = 6.10m.

since u = 0 for the vertical motion;  equation (2) can be written as follows;

h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2............(3)

substituting;

6.1=\frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2\\6.1=4.9t^2\\hence\\t^2=6.1/4.9\\t^2=1.24\\t=\sqrt{1.24}=1.12s

Putting this value of t in equation (1) we obtain the following;

v = 0 + 9.8*1.12

v = 10.93m/s
