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

Which description correctly summarizes how an electric motor causes an axle to turn?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

The poles of the magnetic field generated around the armature are attracted to the opposite poles of the permanent magnet. As the opposite poles align, the commutator reverses the current direction so like poles are aligned and the armature continues to spin.

A force of 10 N causes a spring to extend by 20 mm. Find a) the spring constant of the spring in N/m b) the extension of the spr
suter [353]

(a) The spring constant is 500 N/m.

(b) The extension of the spring when 25 N force is applied is 0.05 m.

(c) The applied force to cause an extension of 5 mm is 2.5 N.

The given parameters:

  • Applied force, F = 10 N
  • Extension of the spring, x = 20 mm

The spring constant is calculated as follows;

F = kx\\\\k = \frac{F}{x} \\\\k = \frac{10}{20 \times 10^{-3}} \\\\k = 500 \ N/m

The extension of the spring when 25 N force is applied is calculated as follows;

F = kx\\\\x = \frac{F}{k} \\\\x = \frac{25}{500} \\\\x = 0.05 \ m

The applied force to cause an extension of 5 mm is calculated as follows;

F = kx\\\\F = 500 \times 5 \times 10^{-3}\\\\F = 2.5 \ N

A proton moves with a speed of 1.17 105 m/s through Earth's magnetic field, which has a value of 50.0 µT at a particular locatio
vlabodo [156]

a) Southward you need to apply right hand rule. If you close your hand to the east, your thumb will indicate south.

b) Given the equation for Magnetic Force

F= qVB

Replacing

F= (1.16*10^{-19})(1.17*10^5)(50*10^{-6})

F=9.36*10^{-19}

c) Given the second Newton's Law by

F_g = 1.67*10^{-27}*9.81

F_g = 1.64*10^{-26}

Given the electric force by,

F_e = 1.6*10^{-19}*1.5*10^2

F_e = 2.4*10^{-17}N

F=9.36*10^{-19}N

A stunt driver rounds a banked, circular curve. The driver rounds the curve at a high, constant speed, such that the car is just
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: C

Frictional force

Explanation:

The description of the question above is an example of a circular motion.

For a car travelling in a curved path, the frictional force between the tyres and the road surface will provide the centripetal force.

Since the road is banked, and the cross section of the banked road is constructed like a ramp. The car drives transversely to the slope of the ramp, so that the wheels of one side of the car are lower than the wheels on the other side of the car, for cornering the banked road, the car will not rely only on the frictional force.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C - the frictional force.
