Answer:

0.83 m/s

Explanation:

FIrst of all, we have to find the time of flight, i.e. the time the baseball needs to reach the ground. This can be done by using the equation for the vertical motion:

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h is the initial height

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Substituting h = 1.8 m and solving for t,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.8)}{9.8}}=0.61 s

We know that the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is

d = 0.5 m

Therefore, we can find the horizontal velocity (which is constant during the whole motion):

v= \frac{d}{t}=\frac{0.5}{0.60}=0.83 m/s

Water vapor enters the atmosphere through
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Heat from the Sun causes water to evaporate from the surface of lakes and oceans. This turns the liquid water into water vapor in the atmosphere. Plants, too, help water get into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration! ... Water can also get into the atmosphere from snow and ice.

Most water vapor enters the atmosphere via evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation occurs when a single water molecule on a liquid water surface gains enough kinetic energy (often by solar radiation) to break the bond which holds the molecules together. Really Hopes this helps!

Why can friction make observing Newton's first law of motion difficult?
Kamila [148]
The law says things travel in a straight line at constant speed unless acted upon by a force.  But friction is a force but it can't be seen easily other than its effect, which is to bring the object to rest in seeming violation of the 1st law.

Is the bike rider in the picture above demonstrating kinetic energy or potential energy? you need to explain your answer.
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is a function of velocity. Since the rider is moving at a certain speed, he's demonstrating kinetic energy. It can't be potential energy because potential energy encompass mgh
