Answer:
K = 0.076 J
Explanation:
The height of the target, h = 0.860 m
The mass of the steel ball, m = 0.0120 kg
Distance moved, d = 1.50 m
We need to find the kinetic energy (in joules) of the target ball just after it is struck. Let t is the time taken by the ball to reach the ground.

Put all the values,

The velocity of the ball is :

The kinetic energy of the ball is :

So, the required kinetic energy is 0.076 J.
Out of the given options, ‘it is described as a fundamental force and therefore does not depend on other forces’ is the true statement about gravity.
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation:
</u>
As we all know that there are four fundamental forces existing in the universe- Electromagnetic force, strong forces, weak forces and the gravitational force.
These are the forces that don’t depend on any other physical force to draw a considerable impact on the physical objects. The gravitational force can be defined as,

Where,
G = Gravitational Constant
= Masses of two substances under consideration
R = distance between the two substances.
Looking upon the formula of gravitational force we can easily estimate that the gravitational force relies on the mass of substances and the relative distance between them. There is no factor than the air friction that hinders the gravitational force and that too in a negligible amount.
