The initial kick is the first force applied to the ball. It sends the ball up into the air (at some angle). If gravity wasn't present, then the ball would go upward forever in a straight line. However, gravity is the second force pulling down on the ball. This explains why the ball hits some peak point or highest point before it is pulled to the ground. Overall, the path the ball takes is a parabolic arch.

In short, the two forces are the initial kick and gravity.

side note: technically air resistance (aka air friction or drag) is a force being applied since the air pushes against the ball to slow it down, but often air resistance is really complicated and beyond the scope of many math courses. So your teacher may want you to ignore air resistance.

Another note: the initial kick is a one time force that only happens at the beginning. Once the ball is in the air, that force isn't applied anymore. In contrast, the force of gravity is always present and always pulling down. It's probably incredibly obvious, but it's worth pointing out this difference.

Jaclyn gets a hit 40% of the time while playing softball. She is going to use colored tiles to simulate her chances of getting a
azamat

Answer:

18 red tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to look at this problem would be to take the number of tiles that Jaclyn used to get a possibility of 40% hits.

Jaclyn put 12 green tiles, this represents the 40% of the hits that she could get.

Now we know that 12 = 40%

We need to find how many red tiles she should put to still keep the 12 green tiles as 40%. We can also assume that 12 red tiles would be another 40%.

So we have 12 red tiles currently.

Now we still have another 20% left.

Since 12 red tiles = 40%, we can assume that:

6 red tiles = 20% of the total.

So if we add both the 40% red tiles to the 20% red tiles we get:

12 + 6 = 18 red tiles.

So Jaclyn will have to put 18 red tiles and 12 green tiles to simulate her chances of getting a hit.
