Despite a very strong wind, a tennis player
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Option 5. 1 and 3

Solution:

The only forces acting on the tennis ball after it has left contact with the racquet and the instant before it touches the ground are the force of gravity in the downward direction and the force by the air exerted on the ball.

The ball after it left follows the path of trajectory and as it moves forward in the horizontal direction the force of the air acts on it.

In the whole projectile motion of the ball, the acceleration due to gravity acts on the ball thus the force of gravity acts on the ball in the downward direction  before it hits the ground.

Calculate the change in length of a 90.5 mm aluminum bar that has increased in temperature by from -14.4 oC to 154.6 oC
nignag [31]

Answer:

 ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

This is a thermal expansion exercise

          ΔL = α L₀ ΔT

          ΔT = T_f - T₀

where ΔL is the change in length and ΔT is the change in temperature

Let's reduce the length to SI units

          L₀ = 90.5 mm (1m / 1000 mm) = 0.0905 m

let's calculate

          ΔL = 25.10⁻⁶ 0.0905 (154.6 - (14.4))

          ΔL = 3.8236 10⁻⁴ m

     

using the criterion of three significant figures

          ΔL = 3.82 10⁻⁴ m

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then
mash [69]
For this case you must first know the definition of density.
 D = m / v
 where,
 m: mass
 v: volume.
 You can then write the following hypothesis:
 IF you know two physical characteristics of an object then you can determine the density. First weigh the object, THEN measure its volume BECAUSE the density is the quotient between the mass and the volume of an object.
