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.

Advocard [28]

Answer:

<em>No, a rigid body cannot experience any acceleration when the resultant force acting on the body is zero.</em>

Explanation:

If the net force on a body is zero, then it means that all the forces acting on the body are balanced and cancel out one another. This sate of equilibrium can be static equilibrium (like that of a rigid body), or dynamic equilibrium (that of a car moving with constant velocity)

For a body under this type of equilibrium,

ΣF = 0   ...1

where ΣF is the resultant force (total effective force due to all the forces acting on the body)

For a body to accelerate, there must be a force acting on it. The acceleration of a body is proportional to the force applied, for a constant mass of the body. The relationship between the net force and mass is given as

ΣF = ma   ...2

where m is the mass of the body

a is the acceleration of the body

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, we have

0 = ma

therefore,

a = 0

this means that<em> if the resultant force acting on a rigid body is zero, then there won't be any force available to produce acceleration on the body.</em>

Which statement about dwarf planet locations is correct?
lesya692 [45]

The answer is "Ceres is found in the asteroid belt and Eris, Makemake, Haumea, and Pluto are found in the Kuiper Belt."


There an as of now five formally grouped dwarf planets in our solar system. They are Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris. Ceres is situated inside the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, while the other smaller person planets are situated in the external nearby planetary group in, or close to, the Kuiper belt. Another six articles are in all likelihood predominate planets, yet are sitting tight for official grouping, and there might be upwards of 10,000 diminutive person planets in the solar system.

Answer:

I think it's TRUE because forces change an object's motion but dont quote me on it ok? Cause I'm not a 100 percent sure

zmey [24]
In order for Greg to safely drain the water out of the noodles, he should use potholders or any thing that is does not conduct heat or transfer heat. Some pots are also equipped with handles that are made of plastics for safely transferring of its content to another container.
