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

Define Ordinary Thermometer​
deff fn [24]

Answer:

An ordinary thermometer is commonly referred to as a dry-bulb thermometer. Most people use this thermometer to measure other types of temperature, such as humidity levels or the outside temperature. This thermometer can show higher temperatures because it is built to withstand different temperature ranges.

The brief wave of positive electrical charge that sweeps down the axon is _____.
kobusy [5.1K]
I believe Action potential is the brief wave of positive charge that sweeps down the axon. Axon is part of the neuron that conducts impulses from the dendrites towards the cell body along the neuron. The action potential is brief since the sodium channels can only stay open for a very brief amount of time. As it travels along the neuron there is a change in polarity across the membrane of the axon .
