d. The x-component of the velocity of  the ball is the same througout the  ball's flight

Explanation:

The motion of the baseball is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:  

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction.

From this description, we can already see that the correct statement is D: in fact, there is no force acting in the horizontal direction on the ball (if we neglect air resistance), therefore the acceleration in the x-direction is zero, therefore the x-component of the velocity is constant.

The other statements are wrong because:

a.  The acceleration of the ball  decreases as the ball moves upward. --> false because the acceleration remains the same (g=9.8 m/s^2 downward)

b.  The velocity of the ball is zero m/s  when the ball is at the highest point  in the arc.​ --> false because only the y-component of the ball's velocity is zero at the highest point, but the x-component is not zero

c. The acceleration of the ball is zero  m/s when the ball is at the highest  point in the arc. --> false because the  acceleration remains the same (g=9.8 m/s^2 downward)

Therefore the correct answer is

d. The x-component of the velocity of  the ball is the same througout the  ball's flight

GREYUIT [131]

Answer and Explanation:

The aluminum is more productive in the absorption and heat transfer to other particles. It instantly converts heat absorbed from the environment into the atmosphere when removed from the oven, enabling us to operate with it faster than the pie that takes much longer to convert heat to the environment.

So this is the reason for pie to be the dangerously hot

Lori’s family is on a road trip. They split their drive into the five legs listed in the table. Find the average velocity for ea
PIT_PIT [208]
Average velocity is displacement  divided by time elapsed; Δv/Δt

You will need to use the information in the table you are given. Subtract: (final velocity - initial velocity) and divide by (final time - initial time).
