The answer is B. The atmosphere provides the earth a moderate and livable climate. The atmosphere is a storage of gases. It contains air which has oxygen that enables us to breath and live in this planet. Also, the atmosphere protects the people by absorbing harmful electromagnetic radiation from the sun.

Kim throws a beach ball up in the air. It reaches its maximum height 0.50s later. We can ignore air resistance. What was the bea

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The beach ball's velocity at the moment it was tossed into the air is <u>4.9 m/s.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Time taken by the ball to reach maximum height is, $t=0.50\ s$

We know that, velocity of an object at the highest point is always zero. So, final velocity of the ball is, $v=0\ m/s$

Also, acceleration acting on the ball is always due to gravity. So, acceleration of the ball is, $a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2$

The negative sign is used as acceleration is a vector and it acts in the downward direction.

Now, we have the equation of motion relating initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and time given as:

$v=u+at$

Where, 'u' is the initial velocity.

Plug in the given values and solve for 'u'. This gives,

$0=u-9.8(0.5)\\u=9.8\times 0.5\\u=4.9\ m/s$

Therefore, the beach ball's velocity at the moment it was tossed into the air is 4.9 m/s

Explain what nuclear fusion is in the role it plays in Stars. DO NOT LOOK UP ANSWERS

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, mostly converting hydrogen into helium. The production of new elements via nuclear reactions is called nucleosynthesis. A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).

Why is the answer B?

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The center of mass lies on a line that joins position 4 of one start with position 4 of the other star. The shortest distance between these two points will produce the largest velocity. You are using F = m v^2/R

Small R = large force.

Large Force = increased speed.

The masses don't have any effect on the outcome: they remain constant.

What force does a trampoline have to apply to a 45.0-kg gymnast to accelerate her straight up at 7.50 m/s^2? (a) 104N (b) 338 N

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

b) 338 N

Explanation: let m be the mass of the gymnast and a be the acceleration of the gymnast.

the force required to accelerate the gymnast is given by:

F = m×a

= (45.0)×(7.50)

= 337.5 N

Therefore, the force a trampoline has to apply is 138 N.
