Answer:

Because the path of the ball is perpendicular to the gravitational force.

Explanation:

In the first case, trajectory of the ball has a component parallel to gravity. Therefore, gravity speeds up the ball.

In the second case, trajectory of the ball has a component anti-parallel to gravity. Therefore, gravity slows down the ball.

When ball rolls on the horizontal surface, the trajectory of the ball is perpendicular to the gravitational force. Therefore, gravity doesn’t play any role.

8. John has to hit a bottle with a ball to win a prize. He throws a 0.4 kg ball with a velocity of 18 m/s. It hits a 0.2 kg bott

Answer: The ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the bottle.

Explanation:

To calculate the speed of ball after the collision, we use the equation of law of conservation of momentum, which is given by:

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

where,

$m_1,u_1\text{ and }v_1$ are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of ball.

$m_2,u_2\text{ and }v_2$ are the mass, initial velocity and final velocity of bottle.

We are given:

$m_1=0.4kg\\u_1=18m/s\\v_1=?m/s\\m_2=0.2kg\\u_2=0m/s\\v_2=25m/s$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$(0.4\times 18)+(0.2\times 0)=(0.4\times v_1)+(0.2\times 25)\\\\v_1=5.5m/s$

Hence, the ball is travelling with a speed of 5.5 m/s after hitting the bottle.

The heating curve of an ice-water mixture that is slowly heated to 125??C contains three sloped and two level portions. What do

BigorU [14]

I believe the answer is D. phase changes. The two level portions represents change of state that does not involve change in temperature (at a constant temperature). The first level represents a change of solid to liquid;p where the ice melts and becomes water by gaining the latent heat of fusion, while the other level represents a change of state from liquid to gas; the water changes to steam (water vapor) by gaining the latent heat of vaporization.
