Please Help! A ball is thrown straight up from the ground. What way does its acceleration point at the top?

Physics
1 answer:
QveST [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: A. Vertical

Explanation:

If the ball is thrown straight up from the ground (asuming the ground as height 0), this means its initial velocity is greater than zero.

While the ball rises and gains height, its velocity decreases until it reaches its maximum height where it stops (velocity equal to zero) and then it begins to fall to the ground.

Now, <u>during all the movement, the ball has an acceleration</u>, which is the acceleration due gravity (9.8 m/s^{2}  on Earth), even at the top or maximum height (when the ball stops just for fraction of time), and this acceleration points vertical and downward to the Earth's center.

Two waiters are trying to get through a single door of a kitchen. One pushes on one side of a door 0.567 m from the hinge with a
NISA [10]

Answer:

275.5 N

Explanation:

F_{1} = Force on one side of the door by first waiter = 257 N

F_{2} = Force on other side of the door by second waiter

r_{1} = distance of first force by first waiter from hinge = 0.567 m

r_{2} = distance of second force by second waiter from hinge = 0.529 m

Since the door does not move. hence the door is in equilibrium

Using equilibrium of torque by force applied by each waiter

r_{1} F_{1} = r_{2} F_{2} \\(0.567) (257) = (0.529) F_{2}\\F_{2} = 275.5 N

Which of the following statements best describes the second law of
Serga [27]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Heat flows from hot to cold to lower the temperature of hot areas and increase temperature of cold areas. The end result is that the 2 areas have the same temperature, thus increasing entropy.

Using a crowbar, a person can remove a nail by exerting little force, whereas pulling directly on the nail requires a large forc
algol [13]
Here we deal with a lever law. It states that product of force and distance from a fixed point on a lever is equal on both sides.

F₁*d₁ = F₂*d₂

By analysing this formula we can see that applying small force on a great length equals great force on a small length.
To remove nail we need to apply certain force. If we use F₁ for this required force we can see that on other side we need to apply certain force. If we have greater arm length we need smaller force. In a crowbar arm length along which we apply force is greater than length of our arm. This leads to a conclusion that we need smaller force when using crowbar. Depending on the length of a nail it is possible that we need to apply force that is greater than force required to remove nail.
