Answer:
Probably the more correct version of the story is that Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated, since its velocity changes from zero as it is hanging on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity", and the associated acceleration the "acceleration due to gravity". Then imagine the apple tree is twice as high. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree.
Explanation:
<em><u>Principle of Floatation</u></em>
Principle of Floatation states that weight of floating body is equal to weight of water displaced by it
460 meters per second, or about 1,000miles per hour.
Answer:
(a) At what angle above the horizontal should the ball be thrown so that the runner will catch it just before it hits the ground? (b) How far does the woman run before she catches the ball?
(a) = 72.54°
≅ 72.5°
(b) = 33.4 m
Explanation:

Answer:
67.8 degrees below horizontal
Explanation:
In order to understand the direction of the ball after a certain time t, we need to find its horizontal and vertical components of the velocity.
- Horizontal component: the horizontal component of the velocity of the ball is constant, since there are no forces acting along this direction. Therefore, its horizontal velocity after t = 2 s is
vx = 8 m/s
- Vertical component: the vertical component of the velocity of the ball is given by
vy = u + at
where
u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity
a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity
Substituting t = 2s,
vy = 0 + (-9.8 m/s^2)(2s )=-19.6 m/s
where the negative sign indicates it points downward.
So, the direction of the ball (given as angle below the horizontal) is:
