Answer:

Gravity acts to pull the object down.

The object’s inertia carries it forward.

The path of the object is curved.

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two separate motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, where the velocity is constant; since there are no forces along this direction, the velocity does not change, and so the object continues its motion for inertia --> so, the statement "The object’s inertia carries it forward" is true.

- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with a constant downward acceleration (g=9.8 m/s^2, acceleration due to gravity). So, the vertical velocity changes, due to the presence of the gravity that acts to pull the object down.

- As a result of the combination of these two motions, the object follows a curved path (in particular, it is a parabolic path).

Answers:

The transportation industry is no stranger to the manipulation of everyday physics. Cars and trains utilize the wheel, which provides a smooth, steady motion.

The ears hear sounds which occur through the movement of air molecules, and the chemistry that drives all of biology depends on the physics of energy and molecules. Every day, for example, plants absorb sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, creating glucose and releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

A ball is thrown upward. At a height of 10 meters above the ground, the ball has a potential energy of 50 joules (with the poten

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

h = 20 m

Explanation:

given.

height, h = 10 m

Potential energy at 10 m = 50 J

Kinetic energy at 10 m = 50 J

maximum height the ball will reach, H = ?

Total energy of the system

T E = 50 J + 50 J

T E = 100 J

now,

A h = 10 m

P E = m g h

50 = m g x 10

mg = 5 ..............(1)

at the top most Point the only Potential energy will be acting on the body.

now, TE = Potential energy

100 = m g h

5 h = 100

h = 20 m

hence, the maximum height reached by the ball is equal to 20 m.

Define impulse and momentum.<br>No spam

Doss [256]

Impulse: a certain amount of force you apply for an amount of time.

Impulse: F*t where F= Force & t=time

Momentum: increasing forward motion.

A ball rolling down a slide gains momentum

p=mv where m=mass and v=velocity

Hope it helps!

A ball is bouncing to a height that is 1/3 of the previous height after every bounce. What kind of sequence is this? How could y

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer and Explanation:

The ball is bouncing to a height of 1/3 of its previous height this is a type of geometric sequence the total distance can be found by the sum of geometric sequence

For example let the initial height is 243 fit

After one bounce it will reach 243/3 =81 feet

After second bounce 81/3=27 feet

After third bounce 27/3 =9 feet

After fourth bounce 9/3 =3 feet

So a sequence is formed that is 243,81,27,9,3..........

Here $r=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}$

Sum of infinite GP = $\frac{a}{1-r}$

From this formula we can find the total distance traveled by the ball
