What force is most responsible for the path of an object during projectile motion?

Physics
1 answer:
Levart [38]3 years ago
7 0
The gravitational force.

In fact, the motion of the projectile is composed by two independent motions:
- on the horizontal direction, it is a uniform motion (with constant speed)
- on the vertical direction, it is a uniformly accelerated motion, where the vertical acceleration g is given by the gravity exerted by the Earth on the projectile.

For this reason, the composition of the two motions results in a parabolic trajectory.

You are an astronaut in space far away from any gravitational field, and you throw a rock as hard as you can. The rock will:
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

the rock will continue at the same speed unless it is affected by another force such as gravity and so if you threw it it will continue to move unless affected by a force

Explanation:

this is because Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.

A company is creating a new mosquito repellent, and needs to figure out how much is needed to stop mosquito bites. They find vol
Jlenok [28]

The independent variable is the different amount of repellent each person is given. This is because it does not depend on any variable. The dependent variable is what they are measuring, which would be the number of bites on each volunteer.
I hope this helps! :)

If two different theories describe experimental observations equally well, can one be said to be more valid than the other (assu
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

In such situations we cannot determine which one is more valid as both serves the purpose well.

Two theories are carried out in different environment and circumstance keeping different parameters and one can opt for any number of ways to carry out that experiment but what matter at the end is the accuracy they bring.

Each of the theory is a new discovery and follows all the possible logical rules hence it is not possible to decide which one is more valid.

HELP PLEASE!!
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

m=41 kg

v=0,02 ms

R=2,1 m

F-?

a=v²/R

a=(0,02) ²/2,1=0,0002

F=m*a

F=41*0,0002=0,0082 H

F=0,0082 H
