Answer:

Centripetal force

Explanation:

An object moving in a circle experiences a centripetal acceleration.  The force that causes this acceleration is called centripetal force.

Answer:

The force is called Centripetal Force

Explanation:

Force simply means a push or pull on an object which causes it to move from it's original position.

We have different types of force, one of which is the Centripetal Force

The Centripetal Force is a force that makes a body to move in an circular position. Example of Centripetal Force is turning a car.

Centripetal Force is normally calculated with the formula

Fc =  mv²/r

Where:

Fc = centripetal force

m = mass

v = velocity

r = radius

The boy on the tower throws a ball 20m downrange. What is his pitching speed?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The pitching speed of the ball is 19.7 m/s

Explanation:

  • Here, we can use the third equation of motion,  v^{2} = u^{2} - 2as
  • whereas v represents the final velocity, u represents initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity and s is the displacement or distance an object traveled
  • Here, the initial velocity of the the ball is given as  zero and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8  , the distance 's' is given as 20 m
  • Using the equation,  v^{2} = 2 * 9.8 * 20 = 392\\v = \sqrt{392} = 19.7m/s
  • Hence, the pitching speed of the ball is 19.7 m/s

The evidence is overwhelming that the Grand Canyon was dug over a span of millions of years by the erosive power of the Colorado
Vesna [10]

Answer:

evolutionary theory

Explanation:

The evidence is overwhelming that the Grand Canyon was dug over a span of millions of years by the erosive power of the Colorado River and that river’s tributary streams.

This evidence does not support catastrophic theory but it does support evolutionary theory, because it was gradual process and took place overtime. It did not happen in a catastrophic manner.
